Strongly Preferred Requirements: * Hands-on experience with the Anthropic Claude API or Claude Code (tool use, agentic loops, multi-step tasks). * Experience building or maintaining a structured agent framework - prompt routing, context management, behavioral guardrails. * Familiarity with Confluence and Jira REST APIs (Cloud or on-prem). * SRE or platform engineering background: SLOs, observability instrumentation, production readiness gates. * Financial services experience or comfort operating under strict change management and security controls. You May Be a Great Fit If: * You have built something real with AI agents - not a toy, a system that runs unsupervised and handles failure gracefully. * You think about agent behavior the way a senior engineer thinks about service contracts: what can the caller rely on, what are the invariants, what happens when inputs are bad. * You are as comfortable writing Python scripts that hit internal APIs as you are designing the agent type that calls them. ## Description * Extend the agent manifest with new specialist agent types (define capability, constraints, tool access, handoff protocol) * Maintain and evolve the behavioral rules, discovery guide, and coding standards that all agents inherit * Build the memory and context-passing infrastructure that makes agents coherent across multi-step tasks Lightspeed PoC productionization * Carry high-scoring PoCs (test automation, vulnerability management, architecture agents, risk review automation) from working demo to production-ready service * Add the reliability layer each PoC currently lacks: retries, circuit breakers, health endpoints, SLO instrumentation, runbooks * Integrate with existing engineering toolchains (Jira workflows, CI/CD pipelines, Dynatrace observability) Logos platform implementation * Build and ship features on the Logos platform, publishing deliverables and documentation to the PLS Confluence space * Implement agent-driven workflows that automate high-friction engineering tasks at scale Cross-cutting concerns * Write Python and TypeScript automation scripts that interact with Confluence, Jira, and internal REST APIs via authenticated calls * Build coverage, vulnerability scanning, and SRE readiness gate pipelines using the established agent patterns * Maintain and improve CI gate behavior, test coverage thresholds, and regression detection ## Related Videos - [Agentic employees in world's most downloaded FinTech app](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100123-agentic-employees-in-world-s-most-downloaded-fintech-app) - [The Power of Purpose: Unlocking Potential and Innovation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1110-the-power-of-purpose-unlocking-potential-and-innovation) - [Kotlin Multiplatform - True power of native code reuse](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/4-kotlin-multiplatform-true-power-of-native-code-reuse) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [The AI-Native Engineering Org: What’s Real, What’s Hype, What’s Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100004-the-ai-native-engineering-org-what-s-real-what-s-hype-what-s-next) - [It's Not Vibe Coding If You Know What You're Doing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100119-it-s-not-vibe-coding-if-you-know-what-you-re-doing) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [Will AI replace Software Engineers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/340-will-ai-replace-software-engineers) - [What is Software Engineering in the Age of AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/640-what-is-software-engineering-in-the-age-of-ai) - [Transforming Software Development: The Role of AI and Developer Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/527-transforming-software-development-the-role-of-ai-and-developer-tools)
