## About this role

CrossCountry Consulting is the transformation partner for the Office of the CFO. As a trusted advisor to Fortune 500 companies, emerging growth market leaders, and private equity sponsors, we combine deep domain expertise with the power of data, AI, and technology to modernize workflows, drive human-centered change, and maximize transaction value. Grounded in our Core Values, we are committed to solving today's most complex challenges while delivering a better experience for our clients, our people, and our communities. When you join CrossCountry, you become part of a team that believes in collaboration, generosity, and the drive to help our clients work smarter, build resiliency, and prepare for the future.

By joining our rapidly growing AI Innovation & Transformation practice you will serve as a trusted partner to our clients. You’ll bring your first-hand engineering experience, unique perspectives, and functional knowledge to design, deploy, and manage production-grade agentic AI solutions for the Office of the CFO and other enterprise functions. As a Forward Deployed Engineer & Agentic Workflow Engineer at CrossCountry Consulting you will be the tip of the spear for AI deployment at clients - embedding directly with client finance and operations teams to build, test, and iterate on agentic workflows that deliver measurable enterprise value on a compressed timeline. Operating at the intersection of software engineering, finance domain expertise, and client partnership, you will write production code alongside your clients, own the deployment of agentic solutions, and mentor junior engineers as a member of the practice team.

What You'll Do:
Client Delivery

Lead the development and delivery of services in the following areas:

• Rapid Jumpstart deployment: Deploy AI Jumpstart packages within client environments, configuring data connectors, calibrating agent logic, and validating outputs against source system controls within the first week of engagement.

• Agentic workflow design & build: Architect and implement multi-agent orchestration workflows using frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, or AutoGen; design task decomposition, inter-agent messaging, tool-call schemas, and human-in-the-loop (HITL) / human-on-the-loop (HOTL) checkpoints appropriate to the risk and materiality of each workflow step.

• LLM integration & prompt engineering: Write, version, and optimize system prompts and structured output schemas for LLM-powered agents; implement function-calling / tool-use patterns against financial APIs; and fine-tune retrieval strategies (hybrid structured + RAG) to maximize accuracy and auditability.

• Enterprise system integration: Build and certify MCP connectors and REST/GraphQL integrations to ERP (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle), EPM (Adaptive Planning, Anaplan), CRM (Salesforce), and HRIS (Workday) systems, ensuring data freshness, completeness, and reconciliation to source-system controls.

• Production deployment & reliability: Package agents as containerized microservices (Docker/Kubernetes or equivalent) and configure CI/CD pipelines, environment promotion (dev → staging → production), and monitoring/alerting so agents run reliably at client scale.

• Client co-development: Work shoulder-to-shoulder with client finance, IT, and data teams; translate business requirements into technical agent design; facilitate working sessions; demonstrate working agents to executive stakeholders; and iterate rapidly based on feedback.

• SOX & audit-readiness: Instrument agents with deterministic logging, source citations, and control documentation so every agent-generated output can be traced, validated, and presented to internal or external auditors.

• Contribute to developing and implementing firm-approved, AI-enabled solutions for clients, in accordance with company policies on data protection, intellectual property, and professional standards.

• Stay informed about emerging AI tools and techniques and collaborate with firm leadership to identify compliant opportunities to enhance client solutions and internal processes.

Practice Leadership

Serve as a key leader in the AI Innovation & Transformation practice by:

• Developing reusable accelerators - contributing battle-tested code, workflow templates, and connector certifications back to the AI practice accelerator library to reduce deployment time on future engagements.

• Creating new delivery methodologies and service offerings that scale agentic solutions across clients and enterprise functions.

• Mentoring analysts and junior engineers on engagement teams, tracking and directing performance against objectives while encouraging continuous improvement and innovation.

• Contributing to recruiting, proposal writing, and firm-wide AI innovation initiatives.

What You'll Bring:
• 5+ years of software engineering experience with at least 2 years focused on AI/LLM application development, agentic systems, or intelligent automation; prior “forward deployed” or client embedded engineering experience strongly preferred.

• Hands-on production experience building multi-agent systems with LangChain/LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or equivalent frameworks; understanding of agent-loop design, task planning, tool-use, and memory management.

• Proficiency in Python (primary) and TypeScript/JavaScript; experience with FastAPI or equivalent for exposing agent capabilities as APIs.

• Deep understanding of LLM capabilities and limitations: prompt engineering, structured outputs, function calling, context-window management, cost optimization, and latency tradeoffs across frontier models.

• Experience integrating enterprise source systems via APIs and MCP connectors; familiarity with ERP, EPM, EDW/Data Lakes, and CRM data schemas in a finance context is a significant plus.

• Working knowledge of cloud data platforms (Azure, GCP, or AWS) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes); experience with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, or equivalent) and RAG p
