Senior AI Engineer

About Zuora

At Zuora, we help businesses grow smarter and adapt faster. Our platform powers modern business models — from subscriptions and usage-based pricing to AI-driven and outcome-based offerings — helping companies launch new products, automate complex billing, and unlock predictable, recurring revenue.

We’ve led the Subscription Economy for more than a decade. Now we’re evolving again by building the definitive platform for quote to cash and helping companies monetize their products and services with an adaptable, AI-ready foundation.

 

The Opportunity

As a Senior AI Engineer, you will be a high-velocity builder within our Corporate Operations team, bridging the gap between raw LLM capabilities and functional enterprise software.

You will thrive in a vibe coding environment, using AI to accelerate development, rapidly prototype ideas, and maintain a flow state while shipping impactful code. This is an opportunity to contribute to a forward-thinking company during a critical transformative phase, where your expertise will directly shape our business evolution.

In this role, you will:

• Design and build the glue between AI agents and core business systems such as Salesforce, NetSuite, Slack, and other internal platforms using APIs, events, and webhooks
• Leverage modern AI coding assistants such as Cursor and Codex to accelerate development, generate boilerplate, debug issues, and refactor quickly
• Rapidly prototype and ship AI-powered internal tools in a high-velocity environment, moving from concept to production with strong engineering judgment
• Parse, understand, and enhance existing internal codebases, integrating AI capabilities into brownfield systems without disrupting production workflows
• Architect advanced RAG pipelines and agentic workflows that bring context-aware intelligence to internal knowledge and operational systems
• Implement rigorous evaluation and testing approaches for AI outputs to ensure speed does not compromise accuracy, security, or trust
• Collaborate with stakeholders across the enterprise to deliver solutions that improve how work gets done
• Assist colleagues with design and coding best practices, including code reviews, documentation, and maintainable implementation patterns
• Partner with Enterprise Architecture and adjacent teams to ensure AI integrations align with the broader digital ecosystem
• Lead troubleshooting for production issues in AI-enabled workflows, perform root-cause analysis, and help build support-ready systems

Your work will directly influence company objectives by accelerating internal tool delivery, improving how teams interact with enterprise systems, and making AI genuinely actionable inside Corporate Operations.
