[Hiring] Staff AI Engineer @TaskRay

Role Description

We are hiring a Staff AI Engineer to lead the technical design of TaskRay's AI platform. This role sits at the center of our next 18 months: an off-platform agent layer that integrates deeply with our Salesforce-native distribution, productized through outcome-based packaging and validated through engagements with our design partner customers.

• Own the architecture, set the engineering standards for how we build with LLMs.
• Partner directly with our VP of Product & Engineering, our Architect, and our senior Salesforce engineering lead to ship.
• Be the technical voice in design partner work to learn what to productize.
• Sequence agents deliberately, starting with internal-facing capabilities before extending to the External Onboarding Agent.
• This is a builder's role with leverage; your technical judgment will shape what every other engineer on the team builds.

Qualifications

• Track record of shipping production agent systems at meaningful scale.
• Deep, hands-on experience designing agent systems in production.
• Strong Python proficiency with production experience deploying real systems.
• Hands-on experience with Anthropic Claude or comparable LLM provider APIs at production scale.
• Demonstrated technical leadership in scoping work and making architectural decisions.
• Comfort in customer-facing technical discovery and design partner contexts.

Requirements

• Architecture and Technical Strategy
• Own the architecture of TaskRay's off-platform AI tier.
• Make and defend build versus buy decisions across the agent stack.
• Partner with our Architect and senior Salesforce engineering lead on the data contract.
• Translate the company's AI strategy into a buildable technical plan.
• Agent and AI Systems
• Architect and lead the build of our MCP server.
• Design and lead the build of our PM Agent.
• Design and lead the build of our Execution Agent.
• Design and lead the build of our External Onboarding Agent.
• Build the eval, observability, and feedback infrastructure.
• Set our approach to retrieval, tool use, and multi-step reasoning.
• Design Partner Engagements
• Partner with design partner customers to discover repeatable workflow patterns.
• Lead the technical scoping for design partner work.
• Be the technical voice in those engagements alongside Product.
• Engineering Leadership and Standards
• Establish TaskRay's engineering standards for AI feature development.
• Actively contribute to our agentic coding standards and norms.
• Mentor senior and mid-level engineers contributing to AI work.

Benefits

• Flexible PTO.
• 12 weeks paid family and medical leave, 16 weeks for birthing people.
• Vacation bonuses.
• Anniversary bonuses.
• Company-paid life insurance.
• 401(k) matching.
• Cell phone reimbursement stipend.
