• Understanding of GitLab-based workflows and platform tooling.
• Experience collaborating within engineering teams and coaching others.

Responsibilities

• Deploy into product squads to assess current state and contribute to the transformation backlog.
• Drive tech debt reduction and pipeline modernisation within the production codebase.
• Author and maintain context files for LLM-assisted development (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md).
• Inject central platform assets into live repositories and ensure clean integration.

Job description

We partner with leading Financial Services organizations to deliver large-scale digital transformation, cloud, data, AI, and platform modernization initiatives across global delivery models. We are looking to hire an experienced Platform Engineer for our consulting client projects.

Requirements

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong software engineering background with production experience in modern languages/frameworks (TypeScript, Python, Java, or similar)
• Hands-on experience with Claude Code (or equivalent agentic CLI tooling — Cursor, Codex CLI, Cline, Aider): writing custom skills, building subagents, configuring MCP servers, and integrating AI tooling into development workflows
• Demonstrable experience with AI-native development practices: prompt-first development, AI pair programming, agent-assisted code review
• Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines (GitLab), Git workflows, and platform tooling — able to modernise and improve existing setups
• Experience working embedded within engineering teams (not just isolated delivery)
• Ability to coach and upskill other engineers through pairing, demos, and knowledge transfer
• Comfortable with ambiguity — able to assess an unfamiliar codebase, identify improvement opportunities, and prioritise pragmatically
• Background in DevOps or platform engineering (infrastructure-as-code, container orchestration, observability)
• Familiarity with financial services engineering environments (regulated change processes, security constraints)
• Experience contributing to or maintaining internal developer platforms or golden path tooling
• Knowledge of software delivery metrics (DORA, cycle time, deployment frequency) and how to improve them

Job responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

• Deploy into product squads as part of the discovery and landing phase — assess current state, contribute to the transformation backlog, and begin immediate delivery alongside the team
• Drive tech debt reduction and pipeline modernisation within the engineering team’s production codebase during the early modernisation phase
• Author and maintain AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md context files that capture product knowledge for LLM-assisted development
• Inject centrally-published platform assets (agents, templates, CI/CD patterns) into live repositories during the rollout phase, ensuring they integrate cleanly with existing workflows
• Build custom Claude Code (or equivalent agentic CLI tooling) skills and subagent architectures tailored to the squad’s domain — automating repetitive tasks, code generation, and review workflows
• Coach squad engineers on AI-native delivery habits: prompt-first PRs, agent-assisted reviews, effective use of Claude Code (or equivalent agentic CLI tooling) in daily development
• Feed learnings, patterns, and reusable assets back to the Central Platform Team for inclusion in the centrally-available components
