Position Responsibilities About the Role
We're building an enterprise ERP system from scratch where AI isn't a feature-it's the foundation. Join Deltek's Engineering and Technology team to create the first truly AI-native SMB ERP. Users will chat with their system instead of clicking through forms. Intelligent agents will handle routine tasks autonomously. And you'll use AI to write better code faster. This is a greenfield project. No legacy constraints. No technical debt. Just the opportunity to reimagine what enterprise software can be when designed for AI from day one. You'll deliver features independently while learning from senior engineers who are defining the future of software development. If you want to master AI-assisted development while building something genuinely new, this is it. Key Responsibilities
Qualifications Education & Experience
Technical Skills
AI-First Mindset This role requires embracing an AI-first approach where GenAI and agentic AI tools are essential collaborators, not optional supplements. We expect team members who naturally think in AI-enhanced workflows and proactively integrate intelligent automation to solve ERP development challenges more efficiently. The ideal candidate has strong interest in prompt engineering techniques and conversational AI systems, with understanding of how to craft effective prompts for business contexts. You should be curious about natural language processing and how AI enhances user experiences, along with basic awareness of AI ethics and prompt safety considerations. We're looking for someone who approaches ERP feature development by first asking: "How can AI help me build this functionality faster and better?" This includes being comfortable with rapid AI tool evolution, eager to experiment with new AI capabilities for prompt engineering and ERP optimization, and committed to sharing AI-enhanced approaches with the team. We value those who apply prompt engineering to solve real-world ERP business problems and see AI as a productivity multiplier for strategic development decisions, rather than a replacement for human expertise.
