AI Enablement Engineer

AI Enablement Engineer

TENEX is an AI-native, automation-first, built-for-scale Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider. We are a force multiplier for defenders, helping organizations enhance their cybersecurity posture through advanced threat detection, rapid response, and continuous protection. Our team is composed of industry experts with deep experience in cybersecurity, automation, and AI-driven solutions. Backed by leading investors, we are rapidly growing and seeking top talent to join our mission of revolutionizing the AI-Native MDR landscape.

As an AI Enablement Engineer at TENEX, you will partner with our current AI Engineer to build TENEX's internal AI platform: the reusable tools, integrations, and AI work companion that help every TENEX'er do their best work. You will partner with teams across the company to surface needs that shape our platform roadmap, then own that roadmap and ship against it predictably.

This role is internal-facing. Your "customers" are your colleagues, and your impact is measured by how much faster, smarter, and more leveraged TENEX becomes because of the platform you build.

This role is right for someone who finds satisfaction in building systems that scale beyond themselves, who would rather embed AI fluency across the company than be the only person who can do this work.

Culture is one of the most important things . Explore our culture deck ex.ai to witness how we embody it, prioritizing the irreplaceable collaboration and community of in-person work.

This role will require Monday through Thursday onsite in our Kansas City office (preferred), with San Jose or Sarasota, FL also considered. WFH Friday. Candidates must live in or be willing to relocate to one of these three cities.

• Build and evolve TENEX's internal AI platform: a reusable foundation of tools, custom skills, integrations, and department-specific specialists that scale AI impact across every team.
• Partner with teams across TENEX (Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Finance, Legal, HR, Detection Engineering, Security Operations, Forward-Deployed Engineering) to surface needs that shape our internal AI platform roadmap.
• Own and execute against a published roadmap. Predictable, visible execution is a core expectation of this role.
• Maintain, expand, and refine our AI work companion based on user feedback and emerging needs.
• Build integrations between Claude and our internal tools (e.g., Ashby, Wonderlic, Fireflies, Asana, Google Chat) using webhooks, MCP connectors, and APIs. Favor reusable patterns over one-off solutions.
• Run enablement: training sessions, documentation, AMAs, and 1:1 onboarding to help every TENEX'er become more AI-native.
• Contribute to AI governance, monitoring, and security tooling decisions as TENEX scales its AI usage.

Anthropic Claude ecosystem expertise

• Has shipped real work using Anthropic's Claude products, including Claude.ai, Claude Code, Cowork, Projects, custom skills, and MCP connectors. Tutorial-level familiarity is not enough. You should be able to point to things you've built that are actually in use by other people.
• Comfortable using Claude Code for technical work, including building scripts, integrations, and tooling.
• Strong prompt engineering instincts and an ability to translate vague user needs into clear, scoped AI workflows.
• Familiarity with Gemini Enterprise is a plus, as we also use it.

Engineering fundamentals

• 5+ years of experience in software development. Python is preferred. Comfort with REST APIs, webhooks, and JSON-based integrations is required.
• Comfortable working across the integration surface: reading API docs, configuring webhooks, debugging auth flows, building lightweight services that connect tools together.
• Familiarity with version control (Git/Git Hub) and modern engineering practices.
• Demonstrated ability to design and build for reuse. You see common patterns across requests and abstract them into platform capabilities rather than building one-off solutions every time.

Security and data handling

• Strong instincts for protecting sensitive data. You understand that internal AI workflows must be…
