Job description

Sensation Label: General

AI Agent Solution Specialist

Job Description

This role supports both AI-enabled and human-assisted customer interactions by configuring no-code AI workflows, monitoring performance, and analyzing customer interaction data to drive continuous improvement, operational efficiency, and positive customer outcomes within a contact center environment.

What You’ll Do

AI Agent Journey Design & Configuration

• Design, build, and continuously evolve no-code AI agent journeys, including conversation flows, decision logic, and end-to-end user experiences.
• Configure intents, prompts, business rules, and escalation paths using intuitive tools, enabling scalable content management without direct coding.
• Collaborate with product owners, engineers, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into scalable, no-code agent experiences.
• Ensure all agent journeys align with governance, security, and responsible AI practices across the agent development lifecycle.

Performance Monitoring & Analytics

• Monitor and benchmark AI agent performance across journeys (accuracy, containment, resolution rate, user satisfaction), applying simulation-driven thinking to real-world scenarios.
• Analyze interaction logs and journey analytics to identify drop-offs, failure patterns, and optimization opportunities, feeding insights into continuous improvement loops.
• Design and maintain advanced search and query frameworks (speech and text, pattern-based logic) to enable automated analysis and topic identification in customer interactions.
• Build and maintain advanced speech and text queries (including pattern-based logic) to monitor both human and AI-assisted interactions.
• Generate actionable insights from interaction data and communicate findings to CX stakeholders, supporting data-driven decision making.

AI Agent Quality Management

• Own the end-to-end quality management framework for AI agents — defining quality standards, evaluation criteria, scoring rubrics, and pass/fail thresholds across all deployed agent journeys.
• Conduct systematic conversation reviews and audits of AI agent interactions, scoring responses for accuracy, tone, compliance, escalation appropriateness, and resolution quality.

Sensation Label: General

• Develop and maintain a structured QA scorecard tailored to AI agent interactions, incorporating dimensions such as intent recognition accuracy, hallucination detection, knowledge retrieval relevance, and conversation coherence.
• Identify recurring quality defects, failure modes, and edge cases through interaction sampling and trend analysis — distinguishing between prompt-level, knowledge-level, and integration-level root causes.
• Establish and run calibration sessions with cross-functional stakeholders (product, engineering, CX) to ensure consistent quality evaluation standards across agent deployments.
• Track quality metrics over time (QA pass rate, critical defect rate, regression frequency) and report trends to leadership with clear improvement recommendations.

Training Feedback & AI Engineer Collaboration

• Translate quality findings into structured, actionable feedback for AI Agent Engineers — providing specific examples, annotated conversation logs, and clear descriptions of expected vs. actual agent behavior.
• Maintain a prioritized defect and improvement backlog informed by QA findings, categorized by severity, frequency, and customer impact — collaborating with engineers to drive resolution.
• Participate in regular feedback loops with engineering, reviewing prompt refinements, knowledge base updates, and guardrail adjustments to validate that quality issues are resolved without introducing regressions.
• Develop and curate a library of gold‑standard conversation examples and failure‑case annotations that serve as training references for prompt tuning, knowledge curation, and agent behavior calibration.
• Contribute to the design of automated evaluation pipelines by defining test scenarios, expected outputs, and quality assertions that engineers can integrate into CI/CD workflows.
• Support the creation of regression test suites by documenting resolved defects as repeatable test cases, ensuring fixed issues do not resurface across agent updates.
• Partner with engineers during post‑deployment reviews to assess whether agent updates have improved quality metrics, using before‑and‑after analysis of QA scores and interaction outcomes.

Testing, Experimentation & Continuous Improvement

• Test and validate AI agent behavior through structured experimentation (A/B testing, edge case validation), ensuring quality, compliance, and responsible AI standards.
• Investigate incidents and unexpected agent behavior, conducting root‑cause analysis in non‑deterministic AI systems.
• Contribute to the evolution of self‑improving, generative agent systems by leveraging real‑world interactions and feedback loops.

What You’ll Bring

• Passion for working at the frontier of AI products, especially in generative AI and agent-based systems.
• Language proficiency in English, French, Spanish (written and spoken).
• High ownership mindset with the ability to operate autonomously, navigate ambiguity, and drive meaningful outcomes.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to interpret complex interaction data and translate insights into action.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey findings to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities independently in a deadline‑driven environment, while collaborating effectively across cross‑functional teams.
• Strong planning, organizational, and time‑management skills.
• A quality‑first mindset — methodical attention to detail in reviewing AI agent outputs, with the discipline to maintain consistent evaluation standards across high volumes of interactions.
• Comfort operating in the feedback loop between quality evaluation and engineering execution — able to articulate what’s wrong, why it matters, and what good looks like.

Nice to Have

• Experience with quality assurance and training in a contact center or BPO environment.
• Experience supporting contact center technologies, particularly speech analytics and AI‑driven interaction platforms.
• Experience building AI‑powered products, particularly with LLMs, conversational AI, or autonomous agents.
• Hands‑on experience with AI agent evaluation frameworks, including conversation scoring, automated testing, and regression analysis.
• Familiarity with prompt engineering and knowledge base curation as levers for improving agent quality.
• Experience creating QA rubrics or scorecards for conversational AI or chatbot deployments.
