Role Summary

As a Senior AI Software Engineer, you will design, build, and scale production-grade AI agents and intelligent systems that solve complex business problems. This role will operate within a Salesforce-centric ecosystem, leveraging AWS and Salesforce technologies to develop intelligent applications, agentic workflows, and enterprise integrations.

This is a hands‑on role for an experienced engineer with strong software engineering fundamentals, practical AI engineering expertise, and a product mindset. You will take ownership of complex and ambiguous problems, mentor other engineers, and contribute to the patterns and practices that shape AI engineering across T. Rowe Price.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, test, and deploy AI agents and intelligent systems for modern cloud‑based, n‑tier architectures.
• Partner with both technical and product/business stakeholders to develop agent‑driven workflows that automate complex processes and generate actionable insights.
• Champion engineering excellence by applying best practices in AI development, continuous integration, and code quality.
• Contribute to projects on agent orchestration, prompt engineering, and real‑time, data‑driven automation.
• Manage technical debt and drive ongoing improvements in AI platforms and infrastructure.
• Proactively seek opportunities to apply Agentic AI capabilities for increased business value and operational efficiency.

Business Knowledge

• Able to work directly with product and business partners
• Familiarity with B2B sales processes
• Can articulate business needs and translate them into technology solutions

Qualifications Required

• BS or MS in Computer Science or a related technical field (or equivalent experience), with 5+ years of professional development experience in an object‑oriented language (Java, Python, or JavaScript preferred).
• Hands‑on experience with cloud‑native architectures (Salesforce, AWS, Azure), containerized microservices, and agent frameworks.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving abilities.
• Commitment to quality via automated testing, code reviews, and continuous delivery.
• Results‑driven with a passion for learning and staying current with emerging technologies.

• AWS Agentic AI development experience.
• Salesforce integration experience via APIs or client/server framework.
• Understanding of financial markets and financial instruments, especially within the B2B sector.
