Description
Overview
Diligent's Commercial AI Transformation function builds AI agents that automate real workflows across our commercial organization, from sales and customer success to internal operations. We've already proven the model with a handful of production agents (including tools that generate executive briefs, estimate costs, and calculate customer value). This role exists to grow that portfolio, working alongside a teammate who also designs and builds agents.
You'll bring two things the team needs more of: a track record of automating real business processes at volume, and genuine software engineering discipline (version control, testing, release practices) that the team can build on as it scales. At the same time, you need the agility to move fast on a proof of concept without forcing full engineering process onto something that's still proving itself out. Knowing when to apply which is part of the job.
You'll also step into a real enterprise integration environment on day one, pulling from source systems, processing through a data warehouse, feeding an enterprise search/AI index, and operating inside access control and governance boundaries that are already in place. Comfort with that kind of environment matters as much as agent-building skill itself.
Key Responsibilities
Process Automation & Agent Building
Map business processes independently when needed, and design, build, and deploy AI agents and agent chains that automate them
Refine agents through iteration: tightening prompts, handling edge cases, improving reliability based on real usage
Move quickly through early-stage PoCs, then apply appropriate engineering rigor once an agent is heading toward production
Pipeline & Integration Work
Build and maintain data pipelines that pull from source systems (e.g., Microsoft Graph API, Teams, Snowflake) into a data warehouse, applying appropriate filtering, summarization, and sensitivity handling before anything is indexed or surfaced
Work within an iPaaS/integration platform (e.g., Workato) to build and maintain recipes and API endpoints that connect systems together, including logging and monitoring for those integrations
Understand how enterprise search/AI indexing tools (e.g., Glean) consume processed data, including index scoping, access restrictions by group, and how retrieval respects underlying permissions
Security & Governance Awareness
Apply access control patterns correctly: privileged access boundaries, IP whitelisting, OAuth-based endpoint protection, and group-based restrictions on what data or tools a user can reach
Understand how identity and access (e.g., Okta/SSO) and logging/SIEM tooling (e.g., Panther) fit around the systems you're building, enough to build in a way that doesn't create gaps
Work with sensitivity tagging and data minimization principles when pulling raw data (e.g., removing what isn't needed, redacting or filtering employee-specific content) before it moves further into the pipeline
Engineering Excellence
Introduce and drive adoption of solid software engineering practices across the team's agent-building work: version control, code review discipline, testing, and release/deployment practices
Set a practical bar for what "production-grade" means for an agent, distinct from what's acceptable in a fast-moving PoC, and help the team recognize which stage something is in
Own agents from prototype through production-grade deployment, including error handling, monitoring, and failure-mode recovery
Extend and reuse existing shared infrastructure rather than duplicating capability; apply an "extend, don't rebuild" discipline
Commercial Fluency & Collaboration
Understand enough about how sales, customer success, and commercial operations actually work to design agents that reflect reality, not a theoretical process
Partner closely with the teammate who also designs and builds agents, sharing the desig
