[Hiring] Agent / Applied AI Engineer @Rootstock Software

Role Description

You design and build the agents, tools, and AI-native interactions that turn a complex ERP into something that feels like it's working for the user.

• Agents with real authority over real workflows.
• Not Q&A toys — agents that take action inside genuine business processes like orders, inventory, and financials, safely and correctly.
• Typed, intent-routed tools over MCP. Our agents run on MCP servers hosted outside Salesforce, with typed tools and grounded retrieval.
• A composable, AI-first UI. We're building a typed component library designed so both humans and models produce correct UI from it.
• The evaluation harness behind all of it. You'll build and own the evals that tell us whether an experience is actually getting better.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience building with LLMs in production: agents, tool-calling, MCP or equivalent, retrieval and grounding, prompt and context engineering.
• Strong engineering fundamentals and genuine product sense.
• A serious point of view on agent design: how to scope a tool, how to keep an agent grounded, how to fail safely, and how to evaluate.
• Curiosity about the domain.

Requirements

• You experiment with AI for fun.
• You love rapid iteration — build a proof of concept, prove or kill the theory, and move on.
• You're independent, self-directed, and hungry to leave a mark.
• You have taste — you can tell the difference between an AI feature that's a gimmick and one that genuinely removes work for the user.

Benefits

• Location: Remote, US-based.
• Visa Sponsorship: This position requires authorization to work in the US; we are unable to provide visa sponsorship, including H-1B.
• Compensation: Base salary, annual bonus, and a long-term incentive plan (LTIP).
• Tooling: Claude license, full access to Salesforce's AI tooling, and approved API spend as needed.

How to apply

Send us the agent, the demo, the repo, the thing you built that surprised you. A working link beats a résumé every time. Please include your desired salary range.
