Role Overview and Mission

Build and maintain the AI agents and automations that run Tabi's operations, working AI-first under the mentorship of our Senior AI Engineer to deliver quickly and with quality.

In this role, you will turn defined requirements into working AI agents, keep them healthy once they are live, and learn to gather requirements directly from the teams that use them. You will work AI-first every day and closely with the Senior AI Engineer, who sets the technical design and reviews your work. It's a real opportunity to grow fast in AI engineering, on real problems, with real impact.

You'll be part of the Business Optimization team, reporting to the Director of Business Optimization.

Key Responsibilities

• Work AI-first: use Claude Code and AI agents every day to build, test, debug, and document.
• Build AI agents and automations in Python on Mente, Tabi's internal AI platform, following the team's technical standards.
• Maintain agents and bots in production: monitor them, fix issues, and keep them up to date.
• Help gather requirements with users: ask the right questions, write them down, and confirm what "done" looks like.
• Connect agents to Salesforce, Jira, and our quote data warehouse. • Write evaluations and tests for prompts and agents, and track their results.
• Document agents, workflows, and technical specifications.
• Keep project task status up to date in Jira.
• Try new AI models and tools and propose improvements to the team.

What We Are Looking For

• Technologist or professional degree in software development, systems, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
• 1+ year in software development (personal or academic AI projects count!).
• Python.
• LLM APIs (Claude, OpenAI, or similar), prompting, and basic agent concepts (tool use, evaluations).
• Hands-on, daily use of AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar).
• Basic SQL.
• Git and version control.
• REST APIs and JSON.

Who you are

• AI-first: you reach for AI before manual work.
• A strong logical thinker and problem solver who sees the big picture and designs for it.
• Comfortable gathering requirements and managing stakeholders.
• A technical leader and mentor who owns outcomes, not just tasks.
• Curious and self-driven to research and propose new technologies, ideas, and approaches.
