Staff Software Engineer to build an AI-enabled internal platform for non-engineers to create and manage applications and agents.

Responsibilities

  • Operating with an AI-first mindset, you will leverage AI, agents and technical logic to:
  • Architect and build the foundational platform that enables business users across the organisation to create, deploy, and manage internal applications and agents without requiring engineering support.
  • Own the end-to-end design of this platform, from infrastructure and hosting to the self-service interfaces and guardrails that make it safe and approachable for non-technical users.
  • Establish the patterns, integrations, and building blocks that connect to core enterprise systems and allow business teams to move quickly without compromising security or compliance.
  • Work closely with business stakeholders to translate operational needs into platform capabilities, ensuring the systems you build are not only technically sound but genuinely adopted.
  • Operate as a senior technical voice within a small, high-autonomy team, helping set architectural direction and raising the bar for how the team designs and delivers.

Requirements

  • The Blueprint: Extensive track record as a Senior, Staff, or Principal Engineer, with a proven history of owning greenfield platforms, distributed systems, and backend scalability patterns.
  • Infrastructure & Platform: Deep production-scale GCP (compute, networking, IAM, managed services), Kubernetes , and Helm (designing for multi-tenancy).
  • Languages: Proficient in Go (primary), with comfort across the stack in TypeScript and/or Python .
  • Developer Experience (DX): Hands-on experience with GitOps, environment provisioning, infrastructure-as-code ( Terraform ), and enterprise security/IAM ( SSO/Okta integration).
  • AI Integration: Experience integrating LLMs and agentic systems into production backends ( Vertex AI, Gemini, OpenAI, MCP , or similar).
  • Product Mindset: Strong understanding of API design and a proven ability to design for non-technical users—you care about onboarding, UX, documentation, and what "easy to use" means in practice.
  • Way of Working: Highly autonomous, comfortable with high ambiguity, and able to clearly present technical trade-offs to non-engineering stakeholders.
