Job summary

GlobalLogic is building AI-enabled development platforms and embedding AI-native practices across product squads in Glasgow. You will help modernise pipelines, write agented tooling, and drive adoption of Claude Code within the engineering teams.

This role focuses on transforming workflows, coaching engineers, and delivering pragmatic improvements to codebases while collaborating with cross-functional squads.

Qualifications

• 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

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
