Job summary

Sogeti is seeking an experienced API developer to advance production APIs on AWS and work deeply with coding agents such as Kiro or Claude Code. The role emphasizes spec-driven development, contract testing, and clear communication of agent behavior to clients.

You will configure headless agents, build golden templates, and establish rigorous output verification. Collaboration with the client’s API team will shape templates 2 through 5, contributing to a robust automation strategy.

Qualifications

• 5+ years building production APIs (REST and at least one of GraphQL or event-driven) on AWS.
• Real hands-on time with coding agents (Kiro, Claude Code, or similar), including spec-driven or headless use beyond IDE autocomplete.
• Strong testing discipline: contract tests, OpenAPI, and the ability to judge generated code quickly.
• Can explain agent behavior and failure modes plainly to reviewers and clients.

Responsibilities

• Own what the agent produces and how good it is.
• Configure the headless agent per archetype: steering files, agent configs, MCP context, and the result contract.
• Build the first golden template, which sets the standard for the other four.
• Build output verification: path allowlist, contract tests, and review-ready PR structure.
• Run the pilot tuning loop: read failures and reviewer feedback, then fix templates and steering.
• Pair with the client's API developer on templates 2 to 5.
