Job Description
Senior AI Engineer
Zuora
• Design and build the glue between AI agents and core business systems such as Salesforce, NetSuite, Slack, and other internal platforms using APIs, events, and webhooks • Leverage modern AI coding assistants such as Cursor and Codex to accelerate development, generate boilerplate, debug issues, and refactor quickly • Rapidly prototype and ship AI-powered internal tools in a high-velocity environment, moving from concept to production with strong engineering judgment • Parse, understand, and enhance existing internal codebases, integrating AI capabilities into brownfield systems without disrupting production workflows • Architect advanced RAG pipelines and agentic workflows that bring context-aware intelligence to internal knowledge and operational systems • Implement rigorous evaluation and testing approaches for AI outputs to ensure speed does not compromise accuracy, security, or trust • Collaborate with stakeholders across the enterprise to deliver solutions that improve how work gets done • Assist colleagues with design and coding best practices, including code reviews, documentation, and maintainable implementation patterns • Partner with Enterprise Architecture and adjacent teams to ensure AI integrations align with the broader digital ecosystem • Lead troubleshooting for production issues in AI-enabled workflows, perform root-cause analysis, and help build support-ready systems
Job Requirements
- 8+ years of relevant work experience and a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical discipline
- 5+ years of experience as a full-stack developer
- Strong experience building integrations with REST APIs, webhooks, and middleware technologies
- Demonstrated expertise in AI-augmented programming and vibe coding, using LLMs to write code, explore new libraries quickly, and automate repetitive engineering work
- Exceptional ability to jump into existing codebases in Python and JavaScript/TypeScript, understand the logic, and implement enhancements or integrations safely
- Familiarity with LangChain, LlamaIndex, vector databases, prompt engineering, and RAG design patterns
- Experience designing or contributing to agentic workflows and context-aware AI applications
- Strong problem-solving instincts and the ability to figure out how systems work without waiting for perfect documentation
- Excellent listening, communication, and presentation skills
- The ability and desire to learn new technologies and development tools
Benefits
- Competitive compensation, variable bonus and performance-based reward opportunities, and retirement programs
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Generous, flexible time off, plus paid holidays, wellness days, and a company-wide year-end break
- Paid parental leave (including fully paid leave for eligible ZEOs, subject to local policy)
- Learning & development stipend to support ongoing growth
- Opportunities to volunteer and give back, including charitable donation matching where available
- Mental wellbeing resources and support

• Evaluate, implement, and guide the effective use of AI tools within the software development lifecycle. • Establish best practices for AI development, coding assistance, coding agents, AI testing, documentation, debugging, and engineering workflow optimization. • Train engineers to become "architects of intent" rather than just writers of code—focusing on providing clear, high-level, context-rich goals, constraints, and validation criteria for AI agents to execute. • Institutionalize a culture of validation, requiring human engineers to thoroughly review, test, and understand AI-generated code to reduce risk of production issues. • Deploy multi-agent workflows using dedicated agent teams (e.g., separate agents for planning, coding, and testing) operating in parallel to automate end-to-end tasks like PR generation, refactoring, or legacy modernization. • Integrate agents directly into error monitoring systems and bug reporting (Jira) to automatically ingest stack traces, locate the root cause across the codebase, and generate a verified PR with a corresponding regression test prior to engineering triaging the ticket. • Prioritize refactoring for high modularity, deterministic testing, and explicit documentation to ensure agents can navigate, understand, and safely modify code, treating codebase health as the foundation for AI capability. • Mentor members of the Engineering team, supporting their growth, accountability, and day-to-day effectiveness using AI tools. • Partner closely with Product Management, CX leaders, and other stakeholders to translate business needs into high-quality technical solutions. • Ensure AI development meets a high bar for software quality, security, scalability, and reliability. • Design scalable AI/ML pipelines using LLMs, RAG, and agentic frameworks and integrate AI APIs into customer-facing applications and workflows. • Develop reusable accelerators, templates, and reference architectures to be leveraged by the broader engineering team.
