This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, artificial intelligence, enterprise architecture, and business operations, solving complex, cross-functional problems by building the intelligent orchestration layer that connects systems, data, AI capabilities, and people across FOX.As a Senior Staff Orchestration Engineer, you will operate beyond individual workflow implementation to define technical direction, establish architectural patterns, and solve some of the organization’s most ambiguous and technically challenging automation problems. You will design solutions that combine enterprise APIs, event-driven architectures, orchestration platforms, custom software, and emerging AI capabilities—including large language models and agentic workflows—to fundamentally rethink how work gets done.You will act as a hands-on technical leader and forward-deployed engineer, working directly with business and technology leaders to understand complex operational challenges, rapidly prototype solutions, and translate successful concepts into secure, resilient, reusable enterprise capabilities. You will influence engineering practices and architecture across teams while remaining deeply involved in design, coding, integration, and delivery.Your work will help evolve FOX from manual and ticket-driven processes toward an AI-first, automation-first operating model in which intelligent systems can coordinate work across applications, automate complex decisions and actions, and enable employees to accomplish more through self-service experiences.This is a high-impact individual contributor role for an engineer who thrives on ambiguity, moves fluidly between architecture and implementation, and can turn emerging technologies into practical enterprise solutions with measurable business impact.A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIESArchitect and deliver sophisticated, end-to-end orchestration solutions spanning enterprise applications, APIs, data, events, automation platforms, and AI servicesDefine the technical architecture and engineering patterns for enterprise orchestration, establishing reusable approaches that enable solutions to scale beyond individual workflows or business unitsDesign and build AI-first workflows and agentic solutions that combine large language models, enterprise data, APIs, tools, and deterministic business logic to automate complex knowledge and operational workEvaluate where AI, traditional software engineering, workflow orchestration, RPA, or a combination of approaches provides the most effective solution to a business problemServe as a hands-on, forward-deployed technical leader, partnering directly with stakeholders to decompose ambiguous business challenges and rapidly design, prototype, and productionize solutionsBuild robust integrations across collaboration, HR, finance, procurement, project management, content, data, and other enterprise platforms using APIs, webhooks, events, and custom servicesDevelop custom services, integration components, and orchestration logic using technologies such as Python, JavaScript, or Node.js when platform capabilities alone are insufficientDesign AI solutions with appropriate grounding, tool use, context management, evaluation, observability, and human-in-the-loop controls for enterprise environmentsTransform manual, ticket-driven, and multi-system processes into intelligent, event-driven and self-service experiences that materially reduce cycle time and operational frictionEstablish technical standards for orchestration architecture, integration design, reliability, observability, testing, versioning, deployment, and lifecycle managementDesign reusable frameworks, connectors, abstractions, templates, and reference architectures that accelerate automation and AI solution development across FOXIdentify architectural
