AI Platform Engineer — Agentic SDLC

Sutherland Global; India; On-site; INR 3,000,000 - 4,500,000; Full time

Job summary

Sutherland Global is seeking an experienced AI Platform Engineer to extend and harden an AI-driven SDLC platform built on Kiro IDE. You will design multi-step agent workflows, implement RAG pipelines, and integrate with MCP-enabled tools for enterprise ALM/DevOps.

This role requires deep expertise in TS/Node.js, LLM integration, and end-to-end system design. Ideal candidates will have 4+ years of production-grade experience, strong knowledge of CI/CD, Dockerized deployments, and familiarity with

Qualifications

• AI Agent Systems: Built or extended multi-step autonomous agents with tool-use, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop patterns.
• RAG Pipelines: Designed retrieval-augmented generation systems (embedding, chunking, vector DB, context injection).
• TypeScript / Node.js: Production-grade, 4+ years.
• LLM Integration: Azure OpenAI or equivalent; prompt engineering, structured outputs, function calling.
• Full-Stack Architecture: End-to-end systems (API, queue, DB, frontend, infra).
• CI/CD & DevOps: Pipeline authoring, Docker, scheduled automation, release gates.

Responsibilities

• Design and build AI agents that orchestrate multi-step SDLC workflows (fetch → generate → execute → validate → sync)
• Build RAG pipelines that feed architecture docs, coding standards, and Rally artifacts as grounded context to LLMs
• Implement MCP servers and tool integrations (Rally, Playwright, Git, Confluence, Azure DevOps)
• Author steering files (persona, governance, lifecycle) that constrain agent behavior with formal rules
• Build self-healing and auto-remediation systems with bounded autonomy and human escalation
• Design state machines for artifact lifecycles (requirements → design → code → test → deploy)
• Create event-driven hooks for CI/CD integration, nightly runs, and release gating
• Implement property-based testing to formally verify system correctness
• Package and deploy agent infrastructure (Docker, pipelines, credential management)

Job Description:

• Extend and harden an AI-driven software development lifecycle platform built on Kiro IDE. The platform uses autonomous agents, MCP tool integrations (Rally, Playwright, Git, Confluence), steering files, and event-driven hooks to orchestrate requirements gathering, architecture design, code generation, test automation, and deployment gating - all AI-first.

  build new agent capabilities, design RAG pipelines for context-aware code generation, create governance guardrails, and integrate with enterprise ALM/DevOps tools. This is not a testing role or a DevOps role - it's building the platform that makes all SDLC phases AI-native.

Key Areas of Responsibilities:

• Design and build AI agents that orchestrate multi-step SDLC workflows (fetch → generate → execute → validate → sync)
• Build RAG pipelines that feed architecture docs, coding standards, and Rally artifacts as grounded context to LLMs
• Implement MCP servers and tool integrations (Rally, Playwright, Git, Confluence, Azure DevOps)
• Author steering files (persona, governance, lifecycle) that constrain agent behavior with formal rules
• Build self-healing and auto-remediation systems with bounded autonomy and human escalation
• Design state machines for artifact lifecycles (requirements → design → code → test → deploy)
• Create event-driven hooks for CI/CD integration, nightly runs, and release gating
• Implement property-based testing to formally verify system correctness
• Package and deploy agent infrastructure (Docker, pipelines, credential management)
