Job description

Description

you’ll join product teams as a hands-on engineer who helps them work in an AI-native way. You’ll write production code, modernise pipelines and tooling, set up agentic development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.), and coach engineers to use AI effectively in their daily work.

Requirements

• Strong software engineering background with production experience in Java (preferably) or C#
• Hands-on experience with Claude Code or similar tools (Cursor, Codex CLI, Cline, Aider), including custom skills, subagents, and MCP server setup
• Real experience with AI-native development: prompt-first development, AI pair programming, AI-assisted code review

Experience In Financial Services Or Other Regulated Environments

• Good knowledge of CI/CD (GitLab), Git workflows, and platform tooling, with the ability to improve existing setups
• Experience working inside engineering teams, not only delivering in isolation
• Enjoy coaching others through pairing, demos, and knowledge sharing
• Comfortable with ambiguity: you can quickly understand an unfamiliar codebase, spot what to improve, and prioritise pragmatically

Nice to have:

• DevOps or platform engineering experience (infrastructure as code, Kubernetes/containers, observability)
• Work on internal developer platforms or golden path tooling
• Knowledge of delivery metrics (DORA, cycle time, deployment frequency) and how to improve them

Job responsibilities

• Join product squads early on: review how they work today, help shape the transformation backlog, and start delivering right away
• Reduce tech debt and modernise CI/CD pipelines in the team’s production codebase
• Create and maintain AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md files so AI tools understand the product and codebase
• Roll out shared platform assets (agents, templates, CI/CD patterns) into live repositories and make sure they fit existing workflows
• Build custom Claude Code skills and subagents for the team’s domain to automate repetitive work, code generation, and code reviews
• Coach engineers on AI-native habits: prompt-first PRs, AI-assisted reviews, and everyday use of agentic tools
• Share learnings and reusable assets with the Central Platform Team
