- 8+ years of direct configuration and architecture experience within Stibo STEP PIM (workflows, portal development, endpoint integrations).
- Deep technical exposure to Oracle RMS/RMFCS database schemas, including advanced capability writing/reviewing complex operational PL/SQL queries and performance-tuning Oracle databases.
- Demonstrated experience in developing autonomous AI agents.
- Practical experience with prompt engineering, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines.
- Proven capability to prioritize deliverables, architect reusable systems, and collaborate with Product Management teams in a fast-paced Agile environment (Jira/Git).
- Familiarity with deploying, configuring, and maintaining enterprise applications in cloud and SaaS environments.
- This role requires being onsite in the San Francisco, San Jose, or Rocklin, CA office Monday through Thursday.
