This is a dual\-mandate role with an approximately equal split: **Mandate 1 – AI Field Specialist (Customer\-facing):** You will work directly with enterprise customers and prospects in pre\-sales and post\-sales engagements to define and architect their AI strategies on Workato. This includes designing agentic automation solutions, advising on the latest approaches and best practices, scoping AI agent implementations, and helping customers move from proof\-of\-concept to production\-grade autonomous systems. **Mandate 2 – Agentic CS Platform (Internal initiative):** You will be a core architect and developer on Workato's autonomous Customer Success agent initiative, a production\-grade system that captures complete customer context to support reasoning, and compounds intelligence over time. You will own the agent and memory architecture, evals and learning loop, and autonomy framework that power this system. This is a role for someone who builds agentic systemsto orchestrate LLMs into reliable, auditable, enterprise\-grade agent architectures, and who can articulate that vision to a customer CIO and technical leaders as fluently as they can implement it in code. Workato has a positive, diverse, and collaborative culture; we look for people who are curious, inventive, smart, hardworking, and who work to be a little better every day. #### **Responsibilities** -------------------- ### **AI Field Specialist** * Support as an expert AI architect in strategic enterprise engagements: roadmapping customer AI agent use cases and delivering technical deep\-dives that demonstrate Workato's agentic capabilities. * Lead architecture workshops with enterprise customers to define their AI automation strategy, including agent design, integration patterns, and governance frameworks. * Advise customers on applied AI best practices: prompt engineering and agent orchestration patterns, evaluation and testing strategies for agent systems, confidence calibration, human\-in\-the\-loop design, and continuous learning loops. * Build reusable technical assets, such as reference architectures, solution blueprints, demonstration environments, and best\-practice documentation, that enable the broader field team to position AI solutions. * Develop and deliver technical collateral: architecture white papers, webinars, blog posts, conference talks, etc. that establish Workato's thought leadership in agentic automation. * Partner with Product and Engineering to feed field insights back into the platform roadmap, ensuring customer\-facing AI capabilities evolve based on real deployment patterns. * Support global strategic accounts across the US, EMEA, and APAC geographies as needed for critical engagements. * May require up to 20% global travel. ### **Agentic CS Platform** * Architect and implement core subsystems of the autonomous CS agent platform, including memory layers, the agent orchestration layer, and the decision trace architecture. * Design and build a Customer Knowledge Graph as a structured, semantic network that models customers, users, policies, decisions, and operational artifacts as interconnected entities and relationships, enabling queryable representation of contextual states, and policy evaluations for governance, traceability, and decision optimization. * Implement the confidence\-based autonomy framework, including precedent matching, confidence scoring (precedent match, pattern recognition, data completeness, policy clarity), and policy\-governed escalation routing. * Define and design infrastructure architecture to ensure optimal performance and latency. * Take scalable technology selection decisions. * Establish evaluation frameworks: define metrics for decision quality, context accuracy, and learning velocity (autonomous threshold increases month over month). **Requirements** ---------------- ### **Qualifications \& Experience** * B.Tech/BE or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field. * **15\+ years** of total relevant experience in enterprise software architecture, design, and implementation. * **8\+ years** of hands\-on experience with Integration Platforms (MuleSoft, TIBCO, Oracle SOA, webMethods, or similar). Deep familiarity with iPaaS architecture patterns is essential. * **2\+ years** of applied AI/Agents engineering experience, specifically in building systems that leverage LLMs and agent frameworks, orchestrating them into production applications. ### **Applied AI \& Agent Architecture (Must\-Have)** * Hands\-on experience designing and building **AI agent systems**: multi\-step reasoning pipelines, tool\-use orchestration, and autonomous execution frameworks. * Working knowledge of **Python** **agent frameworks** such as LangGraph, Claude Agent SDK, or equivalent. LangGraph experience with persisted state and human\-in\-the\-loop patterns is strongly preferred. * Experience with **graph database design and implementation**: entity modeling, relationship extraction, graph querying, and using graph structures for contextual retrieval. Neo4j/NetworkX equivalent experience is a plus. * Practical experience with **RAG architectures**, vector databases, embedding strategies, and hybrid retrieval (vector \+ structured \+ graph). * Understanding of **evaluation and testing for AI systems**: building evals, measuring agent quality, confidence calibration, A/B testing of prompts/pipelines, and regression testing for non\-deterministic outputs. * Familiarity with **prompt engineering…
