Most entrepreneurs lack the WHO, the WHAT, and the HOW to SCALE. At Acquisition.com, we partner with companies looking to grow to $100M and beyond. We help recruit the “who”, work with our partners on the “what”, and show them the “how”. Once an entrepreneur has all three, their business scales.

WHO
Recruit talent with a winning track record to achieve new levels of growth.

WHAT
Lay out the big initiatives that will grow the company’s value the most, and ruthlessly eliminate everything else.

HOW
Help partners install our step by step proven growth strategies into each function of the business

WHAT OUR PARTNERS GET
Triple their revenue in 5 years or less
Increase their monthly cash flow
Develop a core leadership team to drive growth
Grow from “Big Small Business” into “Valuable, Sellable Enterprise”

WHO ARE WE? We are a private investment and advisory firm built by experienced entrepreneurs and world-class professionals.

WHAT ARE OUR VALUES?
Unimpeachable Character
Competitive Greatness
Sincere Candor

We hold these above all else and look for them in our partners.

RoleThe Senior AI Engineer builds and deploys production-grade AI agents that power ACQ Vantage. This role exists to turn AI capability into real, usable systems that drive business outcomes, not experiments or prototypes.You will work inside a lean Technology team to design, build, and ship agentic workflows that interact with internal tools, data systems, and user-facing products. You are responsible for taking ideas from concept to production, with a focus on reliability, speed, and practical value.This is a hands-on engineering role. You are writing code daily, iterating quickly, and working directly with modern AI tooling. You are expected to understand how LLMs behave in production, not just how they work in theory.
ResponsibilitiesDesign, build, and deploy production-grade AI agents and end-to-end agentic workflows that solve real business problems across ACQ VantageIntegrate LLMs with internal systems, APIs, and data sources, ensuring reliability, performance, and clean abstractionsCollaborate with product and engineering teams to prioritize, ship, and iterate on AI features quicklyOwn and improve RAG pipelines across multiple Pinecone namespaces, including chunking strategy, embedding model selection, hybrid retrieval, and rerankingBuild and maintain an evaluation framework, including golden datasets, automated quality scoring, retrieval metrics, latency benchmarks, and regression detectionOptimize model routing and tiering to improve unit economics while maintaining output qualityInstrument the AI layer for observability, including cost-per-request, token usage, quality signals, and anomaly detection
Requirements7+ years shipping production software systems (distributed backends, APIs, deployment pipelines, monitoring)2+ years building production RAG systems using vector databases (Pinecone, Qdrant, FAISS, or Weaviate), including embedding strategies, index management, and retrieval tuningBuilt and deployed AI agents or multi-step LLM workflows in production, including tool use, orchestration, and system integrationsBuilt or contributed to an evaluation framework for an LLM-based product (retrieval quality measurement, regression detection, model-switching decisions based on data)Reduced LLM API costs in production through model routing, caching, token management, or architectural improvementsWorked across multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, or equivalent) and understands tradeoffs in prompt behavior, token economics, and failure modesComfortable in both TypeScript and Python (our stack uses both)
ResultsProduction AI agents are deployed and actively used within ACQ VantageNew AI-driven features move from concept to production in weeks, not monthsAgent performance improves over time through structured testing and iterationAI systems operate reliably with minimal failure or manual interventionEngineering output translates directly into measurable business impact
