We're Looking For a Staff Software Engineer – AI & Automation We're building a new Productivity Engineering team, and you'll be the founding engineer of an internal platform that lets non-engineers build, deploy, and host agents and applications. This means your decisions will shape the architecture, the developer experience, and the culture of the team for years to come. YOUR KEY RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE: 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 & TECHNICAL COMPETENCE * 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.
