  • 5+ years of software/platform engineering experience, including hands-on experience building and operating production services.
  • Experience with production operations (deployments, monitoring, incident response, on-call), ideally in a regulated industry (financial services an asset).
  • Hands-on depth in at least one of: API/gateway services; policy-as-code/authorization; workload identity/security; observability/telemetry; audit/data platforms.
  • Strong programming skills (Python and/or Go preferred; TypeScript/Java an asset) for building services, APIs, and integrations.
  • Working proficiency in cloud-native development on AWS and/or Azure: containers/Kubernetes and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation/ARM).
  • Working knowledge of GenAI platform patterns (LLM/AI gateways, RAG, agentic patterns, embeddings, guardrails) sufficient to build supporting infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Participate in on-call for the services your team runs.
  • Build APIs, MCP Servers, integrations, and tooling through which domains, DevOps pipelines, and enterprise systems consume platform capabilities.
  • Write clean, well-tested, well-instrumented code; build operability in from the start (metrics, tracing, SLO-aware design).
  • Ensure your components produce the runtime evidence connecting AI activity to policy enforcement, identity, and lineage for model-risk and regulatory review.
