📍 Auckland or Fully Remote (NZ-based only) | 6-Month Contract

🌟 Why This Role Matters

This isn’t just about building models, it’s about enabling others to build safely, efficiently, and at scale. You’ll join the Agentic Platforms team as a hands-on generalist who can think strategically, code practically, and communicate clearly with stakeholders from engineers to executives.

🎯 What You’ll Be Doing

• Architecting and evolving AI frameworks and design patterns
• Enabling secure, accurate, and scalable AI agent deployments
• Developing best practice guidelines for internal teams adopting GenAI
• Supporting integrations with SharePoint, Confluence, ServiceNow, and Snowflake
• Collaborating with technical and non-technical stakeholders to translate complex needs into simple AI-powered solutions
• Driving knowledge sharing and standardisation across teams

✅ Must-Have Skills

• Strong hands-on experience with Generative AI development (LLMs, RAG)
• Proven history of building and maintaining AI/ML systems in production
• Confidence designing AI guidelines, frameworks, and patterns others can adopt
• Experience working across large organisations with varied stakeholder groups
• Fluency in Python and solid grounding in AI agent principles
• Familiar with integrating AI into enterprise systems and knowledge stores
• Comfortable with ambiguity, able to take initiative and guide best practice

🌈 Culture & Team Fit

You’ll work alongside passionate AI engineers in a lean, supportive squad. This role is replacing some of the hands-on bandwidth of the AI Engineering Lead, so autonomy, maturity, and strong decision-making are essential. You won’t just build-you’ll enable others to build better.

🔧 Tech Environment

• Python, GenAI, RAG, LLMs
• SharePoint, ServiceNow, Snowflake, Confluence
• Microsoft Copilot Studio, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock/Sagemaker
• Internal agent frameworks & orchestration tools

🖥 Remote-first; Aucklanders ideally onsite 1-2 days/week

🎯 What You’ll Be Doing

• Build and refine reusable AI agent compnts on Agentforce (Salesforce).
• Design data and knowledge integrations across platforms.
• Develop testing, monitoring, and governance frameworks for AI deployments.
• Contribute to FinOps practices through cost tracking and optimisation.
• Lead enablement sessions and produce clear documentation to upskill others.

🔑 What You’ll Need

✅ Salesforce development or architecture experience (Agentforce experience = huge bonus)

✅ Strong grasp of how AI agents work-prompting, orchestration, tools

✅ Solid programming skills (ideally Python) and experience with AI/ML engineering

✅ Ability to think critically about cost, performance, and secure deployment

✅ Able to work independently but collaborate with a wider team

✅ Not afraid to use tools like ChatGPT to prototype and learn fast

You don’t need 5 years of Agentforce experience-nobody does. But you must understand how AI agents function and be ready to dive deep.

🤝 Culture & Fit

The team is pragmatic, fast-moving, and supportive. You’ll be working alongside smart engineers and chapter leads who are shaping AI standards as they go. You’ll need to be self-sufficient but not solo-support is there when needed.
