Position: Agent Owner Agentic AI Developer

Location: Pan India

Total Exp: 6 to 9 Yrs

Role purpose

To own the business side of an agentic delivery. Find the opportunity, prove its value, decompose the work into tasks an agent can execute, set what "good enough to ship" means, and carry adoption until the agent is part of how the team works. Requirements documents do not make agents work. This role exists because someone has to hold the business outcome while the engineer holds the build. It is the counterpart to our forward deployed engineer, and neither side of the coin works alone.

Key responsibilities

Opportunity and value

• Spend real time inside the business team's operation, sitting with the people doing the work rather than reading a process map of it.
• Map volumes, handling times, error rates, rework and exception paths using the operation's own data, not estimates offered in a meeting.
• Keep an prospect list that is sized, ranked and visible, with the reasoning behind the ranking written down.
• Write the value case: what the process costs today,



what the target state looks like, the benefit, the effort ask, and what happens if we do nothing.
• Present it to the budget holder and to technology leadership, and answer the hard question about the assumption sitting under the number.
• Kill your own ideas when the data says they will not pay back, and say so early.

Process decomposition and design

• Break the process into its tasks and decisions, one at a time, to the level an engineer can build from without a translation step.
• Decide task by task what the agent does outright, what it drafts for a person to approve, and what stays entirely with a person.
• Design the exception paths, because that is where most agents fail in their first month live.
• Walk the decomposition with the operations lead until they agree it reflects how the work actually runs.

Backlog ownership

• Author and maintain the agent-ready backlog, own the order of build, and
