About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 8 to 10 years of experience in platform, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering, including real software development experience and writing and maintaining production code.
  • Hands-on experience with Backstage (catalog, software templates, TechDocs, and plugins), or experience building an equivalent internal developer portal and the ability to demonstrate it.
  • Experience with Kubernetes, GitOps (Argo CD or Flux), and Terraform in a major cloud.
  • Experience with CI/CD and release engineering, including pipeline templates, environment promotion, and safe rollouts and rollbacks.
  • Daily use of AI coding tools and a considered perspective on their place in a team's software development lifecycle.
  • Working knowledge of observability, including traces, metrics, logs, and service-level objectives.
  • Ability to drive initiatives and build from scratch with minimal direction while remaining hands-on.

Responsibilities

  • Shape how AI agents and assistants operate in the software development lifecycle, including their permitted actions and how their output is reviewed, traced, and approved, in partnership with Security and Compliance in a regulated environment.
  • Encode standards as code by implementing quality gates, security scanning, and policy checks in templates and pipelines.
  • Build and own an internal developer platform: a Backstage-based portal and service catalog with software templates that scaffold production-ready services, including repositories, pipelines, infrastructure, dashboards, alerts, and ownership.
  • Build agent-facing interfaces, such as MCP servers, that safely expose the catalog, pipelines, and infrastructure to AI agents, and track agent-assisted changes using DORA and quality metrics.
  • Evolve cloud and Kubernetes infrastructure and extend self-service through Terraform, declarative APIs, and pull requests so teams can provision resources with guardrails instead of tickets.
  • Reduce developer toil by improving local development, preview environments, test feedback time, and pipeline duration.
  • Gather developer feedback, document solutions, drive adoption, and keep platform code tested, versioned, and maintainable.

Desired Qualifications

  • Custom Backstage plugin development or experience running Backstage at scale.
  • Experience building MCP servers or agent tooling, or integrating large language models into CI/CD and developer workflows.
  • Experience defining governance for AI-generated code, including review standards, permission boundaries, and audit trails.
  • Experience with policy-as-code and software supply-chain security, including OPA, Kyverno, SBOMs, and artifact signing.
  • Experience with DORA metrics, developer satisfaction measurement, or ephemeral environments.
  • Experience delivering in a regulated environment or in financial services.
  • Experience with GCP or Azure.
