Responsibilities

Design, Build and Maintain Agentic Workflows: Responsible for architecting and deploying autonomous AI agents using low-code/no-code orchestration platforms (e.g., N8N) and enterprise LLMs (e.g., Gemini Enterprise)
Translate Business Needs to AI Logic: Act as the bridge between non-technical stakeholders and AI capabilities. You will dissect requests from departments like Finance or Legal, understand the 'why,' and re-engineer their processes to be compatible with how LLMs and agents actually work
Systems Integration & Orchestration: Figure out how to make the AI 'talk' to our business stack. You will handle the trial-and-error work of integrating agents with Salesforce, NetSuite, Workday, Marketo, Vena, and other enterprise platforms via APIs and webhooks
Data Strategy for Agents: Determine how to extract, clean, and contextually feed data from siloed systems into AI models to ensure accurate, hallucination-free outputs
Influence Internal AI Strategy: Move beyond simple 'chatbots' by identifying high-value use cases for multi-step agentic automation that stakeholders haven't even thought of yet
Governance & Maintenance: Own the lifecycle of internal agents, ensuring they remain secure, cost-effective, and functional as underlying APIs and business rules evolve

Required

Proven experience building AI Agents: Hands-on experience with orchestration tools (N8N, LangChain, Flowise, or similar) and direct usage of LLM APIs (Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic)
Strong Scripting/Technical Skills: While this is a low-code friendly role, you must be proficient in Python or JavaScript to write custom logic, handle complex API authentication, and transform data payloads
Business Systems Fluency: Demonstrated ability to quickly learn the data structures and logic of complex enterprise SaaS platforms (CRM, ERP, HRIS). You don't need to be an expert in NetSuite today, but you must know how to read API documentation and figure it out fast
Process Engineering Mindset: Experience mapping business workflows and spotting inefficiencies. You need the ability to say 'No' to automating a bad process, and instead redesign it for an AI-first approach
Resilience in Debugging: A high tolerance for the 'trial and error' nature of agent development—debugging hallucinating models, fixing broken API connectors, and handling unstructured data
Communication Skills: The ability to explain prompt engineering and context windows to a VP of Sales or a General Counsel in plain English
3+ years of technical experience: Ideally a mix of software engineering, technical product management, or business systems analysis

Preferred

Experience specifically with Google Cloud Platform, Gemini and N8N workflow automation
Familiarity with enterprise automation platforms
Background in cybersecurity or experience working within a security-conscious environment (handling PII/sensitive internal data)
Experience with Vector Databases and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) patterns for searching internal documentation
