AI SummaryZuora is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to architect and scale an agentic deal-desk platform in a hybrid Foster City, California role. The engineer will build Java microservices and the AI agent harness, including execution loops, tool dispatch, state management, prompt assembly, validation, and retries. The role requires deep expertise in Java, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, secure runtime design, and LLM-agent orchestration. It also carries technical leadership expectations, including setting engineering standards, advancing evaluation-driven development, and mentoring senior engineers. ## Role DNA A quick view of the complexity, pace, ownership and collaboration implied by the job description. ### Job Complexity 5/5EasyHard ### Pace & Pressure 5/5RelaxedFast-paced ### Autonomy Level 5/5GuidedFull ownership ### Communication Load 4/5IndependentCollaborative AI insightThis is a technically demanding senior IC role combining high-throughput distributed Java services with production-grade agent-runtime engineering and security controls.

Each action would be logged with correlation IDs and state transitions, while unsafe or invalid requests would be rejected or routed to a safe fallback rather than executed. Describe how you would manage context and memory for a multi-turn enterprise deal negotiation agent. I would keep a compact, structured session state for current deal facts and decisions, store auditable events separately, and use retrieval for durable historical knowledge. Context compaction would preserve constraints, approvals, and unresolved actions while vector retrieval would supply only relevant policy or account information to each step. What trade-offs would you consider when building event-driven Java services for an agent platform? I would prioritize idempotent consumers, durable event contracts, ordering strategy, retry and dead-letter handling, and observability across asynchronous workflows. I would use synchronous APIs only where immediate user feedback is required, while Kafka or similar messaging would support resilient state transitions, audits, and integrations. How would you defend an agent tool-dispatch layer against prompt injection and improper tool invocation? Tool permissions should be enforced by the runtime, not trusted to the model prompt. I would use allowlisted tools, least-privilege credentials, typed input schemas, policy checks against trusted system data, sandboxed execution, and complete audit trails for every attempted action. How do you evaluate an LLM-powered workflow before and after production release? I would define representative golden datasets and measurable criteria such as tool-selection accuracy, policy compliance, latency, cost, and task completion rate. In production, I would trace every run, monitor failure patterns and drift, sample outcomes for human review, and use controlled releases to validate changes before broad rollout. 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. Role Overview Zuora is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to architect and scale our Agentic Deal Desk product. In this high-impact IC role, you will build resilient, high-throughput Java microservices alongside the underlying AI agent harness—the runtime scaffolding, execution loop, tool dispatch system, and state management engine that converts non-deterministic LLMs into reliable, enterprise-grade deal-desk agents. Location & Work Arrangements This role is based in our Foster City, CA office and follows a hybrid work model. Team members are expected to work onsite three days per week to foster collaboration, innovation, and team connectivity. This is not a fully remote position. Key Responsibilities * Agent Harness Engineering: Build and own the core agent harness layer, including the execution loop (ReAct/Plan-Act), state persistence, dynamic prompt assembly, output schema validation, and retry mechanisms. * Tool Dispatch & Sandboxing: Design safe tool-execution runtimes and schema-validated function dispatchers that allow agents to execute complex deal operations, policy checks, and pricing adjustments securely. * Context & Memory Management: Engineer context compaction, short-term session scratchpads, and long-term memory retrieval pipelines (RAG/vector search) to eliminate context degradation during multi-turn deal negotiations. * Guardrails & Feedback Loops: Build computational and inferential feedback sensors (evaluators, deterministic policy linters, and verification checks) to enforce strict margin guardrails, discount limits, and compliance rules. * Backend Architecture: Design low-latency, event-driven Core Java microservices to back the harness, driving state transitions, audit logs, and integration with Zuora Billing and CRM platforms. * Technical Leadership: Set technical standards for agent harness design, drive evaluation/eval-driven development practices, and mentor senior engineers across squads. Required Qualifications * Core Java Mastery: 8+ years of hands-on experience in modern Java (17+), JVM internals, concurrency models, Spring Boot, and cloud-native distributed architecture. * Agent Harness & Runtime Systems: Deep experience building the infrastructure surrounding LLMs—agent loops, state-machine tracking, tool calling/dispatch systems, context window management, and structured output parsing. * Agentic Frameworks & AI Tooling: Practical experience with LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, LlamaIndex, or custom in-house agent orchestration runtimes and vector databases (e.g., Pgvector, Pinecone). * Distributed Infrastructure: Heavy background in event-driven architecture (Kafka/RabbitMQ), high-performance caching (Redis), relational databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL), and REST/gRPC API design. * Cloud & Runtime Security: Experience with AWS, Docker/container isolation, Kubernetes, and securing agent execution pathways against improper tool invocations or prompt injection. Preferred Experience * AWS Agentic Enablement: Production experience leveraging Amazon Bedrock Agents (Action Groups, Knowledge Bases, Multi-Agent Collaboration) and Guardrails for Amazon Bedrock to enforce policy boundaries and tool permissions. * Serverless Agent Scaffolding: Experience utilizing AWS Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB, and ECS/Fargate for isolated tool-execution environments, persistent session state checkpointing, and agent workflow orchestration. * AWS AI Observability & Evals: Familiarity with continuous agent monitoring, trace/span evaluation frameworks (e.g., Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Evaluations, CloudWatch), and LLM-as-a-judge pipelines for non-deterministic applications. * Domain Expertise: Experience in Enterprise Deal Desk operations, revenue operations, quote-to-cash workflows, dynamic pricing engines, or high-volume SaaS approval chains.
