About the role

  • Architect, develop, and scale automation frameworks, integrations and agentic workflows across Mozilla’s workplace technology ecosystem — including collaboration tools, identity systems (SSO/IAM), and GenAI platforms (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini).
  • Lead end-to-end engineering of lifecycle workflows (onboarding, off-boarding, access provisioning) using APIs, event-driven architectures and intelligent agentic flows that reduce manual touchpoints and accelerate user access.
  • Build and maintain reusable libraries, connectors, SDKs and agent orchestration layers (e.g., virtual assistants, workflow agents, RAG + retrieval pipelines) that enable faster, safer AI-enabled productivity at scale.
  • Implement observability for agentic workflows and automations: define metrics (SLIs/SLOs), build dashboards, logging, alerts and proactively tune for reliability, security, cost-efficiency and adoption.
  • Partner with Security, Legal, and Privacy to embed DLP, data classification, and least-privilege access into automation and AI flows — ensure agentic capabilities respect governance, auditing, and compliance.
  • Lead evaluation, technical design, and production deployment of new tools and AI productivity platforms: architect integrations, define guardrails, pilot agentic features, measure adoption and user impact.
  • Mentor junior engineers and facilitate collaboration across teams: review design/code, establish best practices for building agentic systems, guide documentation and champion a shared automation culture.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with IT, Security, Finance, People Ops and Workplace/Facilities to deliver secure, efficient, and scalable internal tools and workflows that empower users and optimize operations.
  • Drive innovation through prototyping next-gen agentic services (for example: intelligent enterprise search assistants, document-to-action bots, contextual collaboration agents) to increase productivity and reduce friction.

Requirements

  • 7–10 years of software engineering or automation experience, including experience building scalable systems, integrations and agentic workflows in enterprise environments.
  • Strong software design and development skills in Java, Go, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript (or Apps Script), or equivalent languages; experience with building production-ready services and agentic systems.
  • Deep experience integrating SaaS platforms (collaboration tools, identity systems) using APIs, SDKs, event-driven architectures, and building automation/agent orchestration layers.
  • Familiarity with IAM/SSO (Okta, SAML/OIDC/SCIM), lifecycle automation and securing access across humans and agents; experience embedding governance into automation flows.
  • Proven ability to design for reliability, security, scalability and cost-efficiency; strong experience with observability, metrics and monitoring frameworks for automated/agentic services.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead the technical direction of automation and agentic workflows: build shared libraries, connectors, guide architecture, mentor others, influence cross-team engineering culture.
  • Experience or willingness to work with GenAI/LLM modalities (agent design, prompt management, retrieval + RAG, integrations) and build operational patterns around them (e.g., agent orchestration, trust, guardrails).
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills; able to work across functions, break down ambiguity, and guide design/implementation of complex workflows with both technical and business stakeholders.
  • A mindset of innovation and continuous improvement: you enjoy pushing boundaries, prototyping solutions, learning emerging AI/agent techniques, and making practical impact across the organization.
