Job Description

The Agentic Development Platform Engineer will design, build, and optimize an AI-powered development platform that enables engineering teams to use agentic coding tools and multi-agent workflows. This role bridges software engineering, platform engineering, DevOps, and AI automation to improve software delivery, governance, and compliance in a cloud-native environment. You will work closely with highly technical teams to enhance developer productivity, implement robust automation, and ensure secure, compliant, and observable systems across the platform.

Responsibilities

• Design and build multi-agent development workflows and orchestration systems that support AI-assisted software delivery.
• Develop and maintain AI engineering platforms that leverage agentic coding tools, including model context protocols, prompts, skills, hooks, and subagents.
• Create, implement, and refine evaluation frameworks for AI-generated code, workflows, and overall engineering efficiency.
• Build, manage, and optimize CI/CD pipelines and automation frameworks to support reliable, repeatable software delivery.
• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code solutions using tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation for scalable and maintainable cloud environments.
• Implement observability, tracing, monitoring, and cost controls across agentic workflows using modern monitoring and telemetry tools.
• Ensure platform and workflows comply with SOC 2, FedRAMP, HIPAA, and other relevant regulatory and security best practices.
• Apply strong security principles, including IAM, secrets management, and least-privilege access, across the platform and development workflows.
• Partner closely with engineering teams to identify bottlenecks and improve developer productivity through AI-enabled tooling and automation.
• Contribute directly to software development efforts using Python, TypeScript, and cloud-native technologies.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to align platform capabilities with organizational goals and public safety initiatives.
• Produce clear, thorough documentation for platform architecture, workflows, and operational procedures to support maintainability and knowledge sharing.
• Continuously identify opportunities to experiment, innovate, and improve the development platform, tooling, and engineering practices.

Essential Skills

• Hands-on experience with agentic AI development, including model context protocols, skills, subagents, prompts, and hooks.
• Strong Python and/or TypeScript development skills, including experience with production application and API development.
• Proven ability to work across unfamiliar codebases and quickly understand complex systems.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and automation, preferably using GitLab.
• Practical experience with Infrastructure as Code, such as Terraform or CloudFormation, to manage cloud resources.
• AWS cloud experience, including deploying and operating applications in AWS environments.
• Knowledge and experience with monitoring, observability, and tracing tools, including OpenTelemetry and similar technologies.
• Security expertise in IAM, secrets management, and least-privilege access models.
• Experience working in regulated environments such as SOC 2, FedRAMP, and HIPAA, with an understanding of related compliance requirements.
• Strong documentation and written communication skills to clearly describe architectures, workflows, and processes.
• Ability to automate and improve developer workflows through tooling, scripting, and process optimization.

Additional Skills and Qualifications

• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and orchestration.
• Background in DevOps or platform engineering with a focus on developer experience and productivity.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted software development practices and tools.
• Experience implementing cost monitoring and optimization for cloud and AI workloads.
• Comfort collaborating with highly technical engineering teams in a fast-evolving technology landscape.
• Ability to operate in mission-driven, regulated environments where reliability, security, and compliance are critical.
