You will be expected to build, experiment, test, troubleshoot, and work directly with the platform.\n \n \nWhat You’ll Do\n \nBuild\n \n \n

  • Build sample agents and reference implementations that demonstrate Agentic Studio capabilities.\n
  • Create reusable templates, patterns, and examples for common enterprise AI use cases.\n
  • Build feature validation environments and proof-of-concepts for new platform capabilities.\n
  • Experiment with new agentic patterns, tools, integrations, MCPs, and AI capabilities.\n
  • Turn real-world use cases into working examples that can be reused by Engineering, FDEs, Presales, and Partners.\n
  • Identify opportunities to simplify the developer experience through better tooling, examples, and platform capabilities.\n

\n \nEnable\n \n \n

  • Help onboard Engineering, FDEs, Product Managers, Presales, and Partners to Agentic Studio.\n
  • Create hands-on technical workshops, demos, walkthroughs, and examples.\n
  • Help teams understand how and when to use different Agentic Studio capabilities.\n
  • Support technical enablement for new features and releases.\n
  • Create reusable technical assets that help teams become productive without requiring direct engineering support.\n

\n \nValidate\n \n \n

  • Dogfood new Agentic Studio capabilities before and during releases.\n
  • Test new features against realistic enterprise AI use cases.\n
  • Identify usability, technical, workflow, and developer-experience gaps.\n
  • Challenge new capabilities from the perspective of someone actually building agents.\n
  • Reproduce issues and work with Engineering to diagnose and resolve them.\n
  • Provide structured feedback and recommendations to Product and Engineering.\n
  • Help validate whether new platform capabilities are ready for broader adoption.\n

\n \nDocument\n \n \n

  • Create practical how-to guides and technical implementation examples.\n
  • Define patterns and anti-patterns for building agents with Agentic Studio.\n
  • Create reference architectures and recommended implementation approaches.\n
  • Develop technical adoption playbooks for common scenarios.\n
  • Keep examples and guidance aligned with the latest platform capabilities.\n
  • Turn lessons learned from real implementations into reusable knowledge.\n

\n \nBridge\n \n \n

  • Work closely with Engineering to communicate real-world developer friction and use cases.\n
  • Partner with Product Managers to validate requirements and feature experiences.\n
  • Work with FDEs to identify recurring patterns across implementations.\n
  • Support Presales with technically credible demos and reference implementations.\n
  • Help translate field and customer learnings into actionable improvements for Agentic Studio.\n, n \nWhat Success Looks Like\n Success in this role means making it significantly easier for technical teams to \nbuild and adopt Agentic Studio.\n \n You will:\n \n \n

  • Create examples and reference implementations that become starting points for new agents.\n
  • Help FDEs, Engineering, Presales, and Partners become productive faster.\n
  • Identify platform friction before it becomes a customer problem.\n
  • Validate new capabilities against real-world use cases.\n
  • Establish practical patterns for building agents effectively.\n
  • Bring real-world technical feedback back into Engineering and Product.\n
  • Become a trusted technical resource for how Agentic Studio should be used.\n

\n \nThe Role in One Loop\n \nBuild Enable Validate Document Bridge Improve\n You will be close to the real-world usage of Agentic Studio and have a direct opportunity to influence both \nhow people build with the platform and how the platform evolves.\n \n \nAdditional Information \n \n At IFS you will work in a growing, global enterprise software company where informal hierarchies promote simplicity and trust with responsibility. We strive to deepen our expertise by taking on challenging and varying work assignments in a collaborative environment together with committed colleagues.\n \n With professionalism and a strong customer focus in everything we do, from R&D to Sales and Consultancy, we are proud to serve world-class customers all over the globe with our leading products.\n \n If you want to change the status quo, we’ll help you make your moment.
