## About the Role

* 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: encoding SAST/DAST integration, secret management, and policy-as-code into central platform assets
 * Ability to work autonomously on complex technical problems while collaborating closely with the team on shared standards
 * Experience with project scaffolding and template engines (Backstage software templates, Cookiecutter, Yeoman, Hygen, Copier) and chart/module systems (Helm, Terraform modules)
 * Background in developer experience research - understanding how engineers consume platform tooling and designing for adoption
 * Experience with observability and monitoring (OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Datadog) - particularly instrumenting developer workflows
 * Experience in financial services or similarly regulated environments

## Description

* Design and build reusable CI/CD templates, pipeline components, and infrastructure patterns that form the core of the central platform's offering
 * 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 - project scaffolding, pipeline configuration, security guardrails, AI-native workflow defaults, etc.
 * Maintain and evolve how platform assets reach engineering teams: versioning, distribution across the appropriate channels (version-controlled component repos, package registries, deployed agent services), compatibility testing, and documentation
 * Co-develop shared infrastructure components with federated platform teams, working within their governance and standards frameworks
 * Respond to feedback from delivery squads - debugging integration issues, evolving patterns based on real-world usage, and building new platform assets as needs emerge
 * Treat consuming engineers as customers: design assets to be self-service, write the docs and examples that remove the need for a support ticket, and instrument usage so the team knows what's actually being adopted
 * Contribute to architectural decisions and participate in design reviews with the Platform Team Lead
