Five Live AI-Agent Roles That Reveal What Companies Need Right Now

Five Live AI-Agent Roles That Reveal What Companies Need Right Now

Five Live AI-Agent Roles That Reveal What Companies Need Right Now

The phrase "AI agent job" is getting noisy. A lot of listings mention AI because it is fashionable, but only some roles actually own agent behavior, orchestration, prompting, tool use, retrieval, or production deployment.

This brief keeps the bar tighter. I checked official company-hosted application pages on May 6, 2026 and only kept roles that met all three conditions:

  • the posting was live on an official application page
  • the role was remote or clearly remote-friendly
  • the job description explicitly involved AI agents, agentic workflows, Agentforce, prompt systems, orchestration, or production automation tied to agent behavior

I also filtered out stale or weak-fit options. If a page 404ed, redirected to an error board, or only used AI as vague branding, it did not make the final list.

1. Senior AI Engineer (Senior AI Agent Engineer) at Saga

Company: Saga

Location: Remote

Type: Full-time

Direct application link: https://jobs.lever.co/saga-xyz/6f4e2b80-c18f-4f62-b61b-da67d257b828

Saga is hiring for a role that is explicitly described as a Senior AI Agent Engineer, even though the page title is "Senior AI Engineer." The job sits in the middle of agent creation and operations: training, deployment, orchestration, and production monitoring.

What makes this role concrete is the language in the posting. Saga says the engineer will build and maintain training and inference pipelines for character AI agents, orchestrate LLMs and SLMs, deploy agents across Instagram, X, WhatsApp, and TikTok, and improve feedback loops through fine-tuning, reward models, RLHF, and RLAIF. It also calls out behavioral guardrails, content safety, multi-modal support, and agentic commerce.

Why this belongs on an AI-agent list: this is not a generic ML role with a trendy label. It covers the full agent lifecycle: memory and personality behavior, multi-model orchestration, production deployment, feedback loops, and safety. That is core agent engineering.

2. Sr Application Engineer (Salesforce Agentforce AI) at PointClickCare

Company: PointClickCare

Location: Remote, USA

Type: Full-time

Direct application link: https://jobs.lever.co/pointclickcare/bbd3f37b-49db-4437-be62-eeb2a1e9ab1b

This is one of the cleaner enterprise agent postings in the market because it is specific about the stack. PointClickCare is not just asking for general AI familiarity. It wants hands-on experience with Agentforce, AI agent development, and intelligent process automation inside a production Salesforce environment.

The posting says the engineer will architect and deliver AI agents and automations that transform workflows, build AI agents using Agentforce and Microsoft Studio for Copilot Agents, create intelligent process automations, write code in Apex, JavaScript, and Python, and document and maintain the resulting agents. It also explicitly asks for experience building Agentforce AI agents and integrating external data sources.

Why this belongs on an AI-agent list: it shows where enterprise demand is moving. The role is about operationalizing agents inside a real business system, not just prototyping chatbots. It combines agent workflows, enterprise integration, test automation, and change management.

3. AI Forward Deployed Engineer at NiCE

Company: NiCE

Location: USA - Remote

Type: Full-time

Direct application link: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/nice/jobs/4812204101

NiCE is hiring a forward-deployed engineer to build customer-facing AI agents in production. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, solution architecture, and enterprise delivery, which makes it especially valuable if you want to understand how agent hiring looks outside pure model teams.

The description says the engineer will design, prototype, and operationalize AI agents that automate customer-service workflows across digital and voice channels. Responsibilities include defining prompting strategies, retrieval patterns, and decision logic; building integrations into CRM, commerce, and knowledge systems; creating multi-step workflows that let agents complete real business transactions; and adding observability, evaluation, and feedback loops.

Why this belongs on an AI-agent list: it is a classic production-agent role. The emphasis is not on demoware. It is on end-to-end deployment, orchestration, enterprise system integration, and measurable business outcomes in customer engagement.

4. AI and Automation Lead at Myriad360

Company: Myriad360

Location: Remote, United States

Type: Full-time

Direct application link: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/myriad360/jobs/8402449002

Myriad360's posting is interesting because it reflects the internal-operations side of the agent market. This is not framed as pure research. It is a business systems role with direct ownership over AI delivery across the company.

The role description says the lead will design and implement GPTs, create skills, build agents, develop copilots, and use multi-agent orchestration inside a Microsoft 365-centric environment. It also calls out StackAI, Zapier, RAG pipelines, observability, monitoring, evaluation, guardrails, and even architecture responsibility for the company's MCP service.

Why this belongs on an AI-agent list: it captures a very real hiring lane that is growing fast inside mid-market companies. The company is looking for someone who can turn AI from isolated experiments into governed internal systems with RAG, guardrails, orchestration, and measurable operational impact.

5. Senior Prompt Engineer (Full-Stack AI) at Netomi

Company: Netomi

Location: Remote, Toronto-based listing

Type: Full-time

Direct application link: https://jobs.lever.co/netomi/d674c3aa-1a25-4341-8919-24c8bae02fde

Netomi is a strong fit because the company is already positioned as an agentic AI platform for enterprise customer experience, and this role goes beyond prompt copywriting. It is a systems role at the prompt-and-guardrail layer of deployed agents.

According to the posting, the engineer will design and optimize prompt-driven AI systems, define system prompts, tool descriptions, memory strategies, and guardrails for agentic AI frameworks, build task orchestration and custom tools, develop APIs and testing scripts, and create evaluation frameworks for quality, cost, latency, and safety.

Why this belongs on an AI-agent list: prompt engineering is sometimes treated as lightweight content work, but this posting is clearly deeper. It is about controlling agent behavior in production through prompts, memory, tools, evaluation, and orchestration. That makes it directly relevant to practical AI-agent deployment.

What This Five-Job Set Shows About The Market

These five openings are useful together because they map different parts of the agent stack instead of repeating the same job title five times.

  • Saga represents core runtime and behavior engineering for outward-facing AI agents.
  • PointClickCare shows enterprise workflow agents inside Salesforce and Agentforce.
  • NiCE represents forward-deployed customer-service agents wired into production systems.
  • Myriad360 shows the internal automation layer: GPTs, skills, copilots, RAG, guardrails, and MCP.
  • Netomi covers prompt architecture, evaluation, memory, and tool definitions for agentic systems.

That mix is why this list is more useful than a generic "five AI jobs" roundup. It shows where companies are actually hiring when they say they want AI agents built, deployed, governed, and improved.

Final Note

All five links above point to official company-hosted application pages rather than reposted aggregators. As checked on May 6, 2026, each listing was publicly reachable and presented as an active opening with a live apply flow or application form.
