Roles & Responsibilities

• Understand lending workflows: Partner with lending operations and Business Analysts to identify manual activities, map exceptions, and translate requirements into implementable AI solutions.

· Prototype and validate: Build working prototypes, demonstrate solutions to business users, incorporate feedback, and establish measurable acceptance criteria.

· Develop Agentforce solutions: Configure agent instructions, actions, prompts, and workflows; develop supporting components using Apex, Lightning Web Components, and Salesforce Flow.

· Integrate enterprise systems: Connect agents with lending platforms, document repositories, core banking systems, and external services through MuleSoft and APIs.

· Enable reliable AI execution: Ground responses in approved enterprise data, validate agent outputs, and implement error handling, human handoffs, and approval checkpoints.

· Deliver secure solutions: Implement access controls, protection of sensitive member information, and audit trails in partnership with architecture and security teams.

· Test and improve: Work with QA to evaluate response accuracy, action correctness, exception scenarios, prompt injection, integration failures, and performance.

· Own engineering delivery: Drive development, defect resolution, deployment, and post-launch stabilization. Prepare technical evidence for architecture, security, testing, and release tollgates, coordinating approvals with designated owners.

· Measure and scale: Monitor agent performance, processing time, manual effort, adoption, and operating cost. Create reusable components, documentation, and support runbooks.
