Responsibilities

You will be hands‑on in projects to provide technical guidance and validation to the team, while also being responsible for stakeholder management, building client relationships, and identifying new opportunities.

• Design and build reusable CI/CD templates, pipeline components, and infrastructure patterns.
• Develop Claude Code (or equivalent agentic CLI tooling) skills, subagents, and MCP servers that become the standard AI tooling distributed to all client teams.
• Implement golden path templates and maintain and evolve how platform assets reach engineering teams.
• Co‑develop shared infrastructure components with federated platform teams, working within their governance and standards frameworks.
• Respond to feedback from delivery squads and treat consuming engineers as customers.
• Contribute to architectural decisions and participate in design reviews.

Qualifications

• Strong software and platform engineering skills with production experience building developer tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure automation.
• Hands‑on experience with Claude Code (or equivalent agentic CLI tooling – Cursor, Codex CLI, Cline, Aider): writing custom skills, building subagent systems, implementing MCP servers, and authoring AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md context files.
• Platform‑as‑a‑product mindset: builds reusable assets with their consumers in mind, prioritises discoverability and self‑service, and validates designs against real adoption rather than assumed need.
• Deep hands‑on experience with GitLab CI; transferable expertise from GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps also welcome – not just using these, but building reusable components and templates for others.
• Experience with infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation) and container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS).
• Understanding of AI‑native SDLC practices and how to encode them into platform tooling (automated quality gates, agent‑triggered workflows, prompt‑aware build steps).
• Experience building and publishing reusable packages, templates, or internal libraries – with proper versioning, documentation, and consumption patterns.
• Strong understanding of security‑first engineering.
• Ability to work autonomously on complex technical problems while collaborating closely with the team on shared standards.
