Role overview
A contributor-level opportunity to build production AI agents on a Salesforce-based agent platform during an early-adoption phase, where the implementation patterns are still being defined rather than inherited. You will be embedded as part of a North American client squad, working remotely from a Latin American delivery center with substantial time-zone overlap into the client's core business hours. The work centers on agent design, evaluation, and the surrounding data plumbing, not just prompt writing.
Responsibilities
- Design and assemble agents inside Agent Builder, defining topics, instructions, and the boundaries between them.
- Implement agent actions across Flow, Apex, prompt templates, and external APIs.
- Ground agents in Data 360 and retrieval sources so responses come from data rather than from model generation.
- Design guardrails against prompt injection, data leakage, and out-of-scope action execution.
- Build evaluation sets and regression tests for agent behavior and run them before each change.
- Instrument agents for observability, capturing what was asked, retrieved, executed, and failed.
- Prepare structured and unstructured data for retrieval, including chunking and metadata strategy.
- Collaborate with the Data 360 team on freshness, identity, and consent constraints.
- Analyze live transcripts and deflection data to drive evidence-based improvements.
- Advise stakeholders clearly when a use case is not a good fit for an agent.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- Four or more years in software or data engineering, with hands-on production experience building LLM-backed applications.
- Practical prompt engineering experience, including systematic prompt testing.
- Working understanding of AI risk areas such as hallucination, injection, PII exposure, and action authorization.
- Familiarity with Agentforce components including Agent Builder, topics and actions, Prompt Builder, and the Einstein Trust Layer.
- Enough Salesforce development depth in Flow and Apex to build and debug agent actions.
- Comfort with retrieval-augmented generation concepts such as embeddings, chunking, vector retrieval, and grounding evaluation.
- Python skills for data preparation, evaluation harnesses, and API work.
- Experience using Salesforce Data 360 as a grounding source.
- Professional English sufficient to run requirements and design conversations directly with North American stakeholders.
- Permanent authorization to work in your country of residence, with no visa sponsorship available.
Nice to have
- Salesforce Certified AI Specialist or Agentforce Specialist credentials.
Benefits and work setup
- Full-time contractor agreement, fully remote.
- Delivered from a Latin American delivery center into a North American client team.
- Employment relationship held by the delivery organization; you sit inside the client's squad under delivery leadership.
- Equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion.
