Title: Forward-Deployed Engineer, Data Centers

Basic Function

The Forward-Deployed Engineer, Enterprise Systems & Agent Integrations, will build the secure integration layer that enables AI agents to operate across SB Energy’s enterprise systems. This role will turn tools such as Monday.com, NetSuite, SharePoint, Teams, ERP systems, document stores, finance and procurement systems, project management platforms, and internal APIs into reliable, permission-aware capabilities that ChatGPT and enterprise agents can use. The successful candidate will work directly with business users and technical teams to convert messy operational workflows into clean system interfaces, reusable MCP servers, secure APIs, and auditable agent workflows.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and operate MCP servers and enterprise tool integrations that expose SB Energy business systems as agent-ready capabilities for reading, writing, updating, routing, and retrieving business data.
• Develop API integrations for Monday.com, NetSuite, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, finance, procurement, project management, ERP, document management, and internal systems, using secure REST, GraphQL, OAuth, service account, and internal API patterns.
• Implement permission-aware automation that respects business ownership, role-based access control, approval requirements, audit logging, and compliance expectations across enterprise workflows.
• Build agent workflows for status reporting, approvals, task creation, document retrieval, operational handoffs, data synchronization, and cross-system workflow automation so business users can stop manually copying data between systems.
• Establish integration standards for tool reliability, versioning, discoverability, observability, error handling, and secure tool access so integrations become reusable enterprise capabilities rather than one-off scripts.
• Partner with business stakeholders, Digital Platform, IT, Security, Operations, Finance, Procurement, and Project Management teams to identify workflow needs, map system ownership, and deploy reliable agent-connected workflows through modern DevOps and CI/CD practices.

Qualifications/Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, Data Engineering, or a related technical field required.
• Master’s degree in Computer Science, AI/ML, Data Systems, Information Systems, or a related field preferred.
• Equivalent practical experience building enterprise integrations, APIs, automation platforms, or agent-connected systems may be considered in place of formal degree requirements.
• Strong software engineering background with practical experience designing APIs, backend services, integration layers, and production-grade automation workflows.
• Experience integrating enterprise SaaS and business systems using REST APIs, GraphQL APIs, webhooks, OAuth, RBAC, service accounts, and secure credential-management practices.
• Experience with Azure, Python, TypeScript, CI/CD, logging, monitoring, deployment workflows, and operational support for production integrations.
• Practical understanding of LLM tools, function calling, MCP, agent workflows, tool orchestration, or similar agent-integration patterns.
• Ability to design secure, permissioned, logged, observable, and reliable tool calls for enterprise systems used by ChatGPT and AI agents.
• Able to work directly with business users, understand ambiguous workflows, and translate operational needs into clear, reusable, auditable system interfaces.
• 5-8 years of software engineering, enterprise integration, platform engineering, backend systems, or automation experience preferred.
