AI Builder

About the role

As an AI Builder, you will design, build, and ship the agentic AI workflows that run Tempo's business operations. Working on the Vertex / Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, you will turn manual, multi-step operational processes into reliable, governed automations that act on real systems - reading data, calling tools, drafting work, and handing off to humans at the right moments. You aren't just prototyping demos; you are the builder who takes an operational pain point from idea to production. You'll partner directly with operations leaders to map a process, design the agent, wire it into the tools the business already uses, instrument it for safety and observability, and iterate until it reliably saves time. Your first priority will be the PMO, Procurement, and Enterprise Applications teams, followed by Accounting, FP&A, RevOps, and the CFO organization. This role reports to the VP of PMO, EA & Corporate IT and sits at the center of Tempo's AI governance layer - meaning you'll build fast, but build responsibly, with identity, auditability, and vendor/data risk treated as first-class design constraints

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and ship production-grade agentic AI workflows on the Vertex / Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform that automate real business-operations processes end to end.
• Make Gemini, Claude, Slack (Slackbot), and Atlassian Rovo work together - orchestrating multi-model, multi-tool agents that reason, retrieve, call APIs, and take action across Tempo's stack rather than living in a single tool.
• Partner first with PMO, Procurement, and Enterprise Applications - then expand to Accounting, FP&A, RevOps, and the CFO organization - to identify high-value automation opportunities and translate them into shipped workflows.
• Run discovery with operations stakeholders: map the current process, define the target state, and scope what to automate, what to assist, and what to leave to humans.
• Implement tool use and function calling so agents can fetch data, trigger APIs, and execute actions across Jira, Confluence, Slack, Google Workspace, procurement and finance systems, and other internal applications.
• Build retrieval-grounded (RAG) and memory-enabled agents that draw on Tempo's knowledge so outputs are accurate, current, and context-aware.
• Engineer reliable prompts, agent instructions, and orchestration logic; select the right model for each task and optimize for quality, latency, and cost.
• Design guardrails, human-in-the-loop approvals, logging, and evaluation into every workflow - treating safety, auditability, and data governance as first-class requirements in partnership with the AI Ops governance layer.
• Instrument workflows with monitoring, tracing, and success metrics; measure adoption and hours saved, and iterate based on real usage.
• Establish and grow Tempo's AI Builder playbook - reusable patterns, templates, connectors, and standards so automations are consistent, secure, and easy to maintain as the practice scales.
• Document workflows and enable business teams to adopt, trust, and (where appropriate) self-serve the agents you build.
• Stay current with the fast-moving agentic AI landscape (models, frameworks, the evolving Vertex / Gemini Enterprise and Atlassian Rovo ecosystems) and bring practical recommendations back to the business.
• Support the Tempo Way of Working by using Tempo and Jira products to manage and instrument the AI workflows you build.

Requirements

• 4+ years of software, AI/ML, data, or automation engineering experience in technology or SaaS environments, including taking solutions from prototype to production.
• 1+ year of hands-on experience building with LLMs and agentic AI - multi-step agents that use tools, maintain memory, and execute real actions (not just chat or content generation).
• Hands-on familiarity with the Vertex AI / Gemini Enterprise Agent Builder platform (or a comparable enterprise agent platform) for designing and deploying agents.
• Demonstrated fluency across the tools this role must integrate: Gemini, Cla
