Senior AI Engineer
Role overview
We are hiring a Senior AI Engineer to build production agent capabilities for TaskRay's AI platform. You will work closely with our Staff AI Engineer and our product team to ship features that customers actually use, against the most demanding bar in our company: agents that automate real implementation work for enterprise onboarding teams.
You will work across the full AI stack: prompt and agent design, retrieval, evals, tool integrations, and the off-platform service layer that hosts it all. You will partner with design partner customers to learn what the agent needs to do before generalizing it into the product.
We are sequencing these agents deliberately, starting with internal-facing capabilities (PM Agent and Execution Agent) before extending to the External Onboarding Agent. The MCP server is the foundation that underpins all three.
This is a heads-down builder role with leverage. We are small, the work is real, and shipping speed matters.
Note
We are hiring AI engineers, not Salesforce engineers. You bring the agent craft (production LLM systems, evals, retrieval, tool use). We will teach you what you need to know about the Salesforce platform our product is built on. The integration work is real but it is not the center of the role; the agents are.
Responsibilities
- check_circle Build production agent capabilities for our PM Agent (the internal-facing agent that maintains live project status and increases customer team productivity), our Execution Agent (the internal-facing agent that completes tasks on behalf of human counterparts), and our External Onboarding Agent (the customer-facing agent that handles status, document collection, and end-customer interaction)
- check_circle Contribute to our MCP server, the platform layer that connects these agents to TaskRay's project, customer, and onboarding data
- check_circle Design prompts, agent loops, and tool integrations that meet customer-grade reliability, not demo-grade
- check_circle Own subsystems end to end: retrieval pipelines, eval harnesses, prompt libraries, tool registries, and the observability around them
- check_circle Partner with design partner customers to ship custom agent workflows that teach us what to productize. Engagements run via video and shared tooling, not on-site
- check_circle Translate customer-specific work into reusable building blocks for the core platform
- check_circle Partner with Product on customer-facing demos, walkthroughs, and feedback loops
- check_circle Help build and maintain the MCP server and the off-platform service layer that hosts our agent capabilities
- check_circle Develop integrations with adjacent systems where the agents need them (Google Drive, calendar and meeting transcripts, document stores, CRM data)
- check_circle Contribute to the eval, observability, and reliability infrastructure our Staff engineer is establishing
- check_circle Write clean, well-documented code that your teammates will thank you for
- check_circle Participate in code reviews with a constructive, growth-oriented mindset
- check_circle Actively contribute to our agentic coding standards and norms
- check_circle You have shipped LLM-based features to production users. You have lived through the gap between a working demo and a system that actually serves customers
- check_circle Hands-on experience with retrieval pipelines, agent loops with tool use, and the evals that keep them honest
- check_circle Strong Python proficiency (the lingua franca of the AI stack), with production experience deploying real systems
- check_circle Hands-on experience integrating LLM provider APIs (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, or equivalent) into real applications, including evals, prompt iteration, and cost and latency engineering
- check_circle Strong written communication. You can explain technical decisions clearly to product, customer success, and customers themselves. We are level-agnostic on years; we care about what you have shipped
- check_circle Experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) or agent orchestration tooling
- check_circle Curiosity about the Salesforce platform. You do not need to know it. We will teach you. But you should be excited about integrating agents with the system of record where most enterprise customer-facing work actually happens
- check_circle Experience with compound or agentic coding workflows (Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent)
- check_circle Comfort in customer-facing technical contexts, including design partner work and customer demos (all virtual)
- check_circle Medical, dental, and vision benefits
- check_circle Every other Friday off and a team that respects your time outside of work
- check_circle Flexible PTO
- check_circle 12 weeks paid family and medical leave, 16 weeks for birthing people
- check_circle Vacation bonuses
- check_circle Anniversary bonuses
- check_circle Company-paid life insurance
- check_circle 401(k) matching
- check_circle Cell phone reimbursement stipend
- check_circle Employee Assistance Program
