Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Rootstock Software is focused on building an AI-first ERP that simplifies complex business processes. The Agent / Applied AI Engineer will design and build intelligent agents and tools that enhance user interactions within the ERP system, ensuring they operate safely and effectively in real business workflows.
Responsibilities
- 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. ERP is an enormous surface area and you can't stuff it all into a single MCP. You'll solve real problems in scale and performance while building on high-value customer use cases
- A composable, AI-first UI. We're building a typed component library designed so both humans and models produce correct UI from it. You'll help shape it and assemble surfaces that present actions and insights, not just forms and tables
- The evaluation harness behind all of it. Agents are only as good as your ability to measure them. You'll build and own the evals that tell us whether an experience is actually getting better
Skills
- 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
- Competence in Java, JavaScript, or a comparable language
- 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
- 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
Benefits
- 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.
