About This Opportunity
We are representing a confidential technology platform client in Sydney, Australia, seeking a Software Engineer to join their AI Tooling & Enablement team. This is a hybrid position focused on building internal developer platforms and AI-powered tooling that accelerates software delivery across engineering, product, and design teams.
You'll be working on platform engineering challenges: designing and maintaining an agentic development harness, building AI workflows integrated into the software development lifecycle, and treating internal engineers as your customers. This role offers high-impact work shaping how a modern engineering organization builds and ships software.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, ship, and maintain platform features including plugins, skills, MCP integrations, internal AI-enabled CLIs, and scaffolding with guidance from senior engineers
- Build robust, tested, and observable tooling that improves the development experience across the entire SDLC
- Wire up agent tooling including tool-use capabilities, scoped permissions, error handling, and automated verification using Playwright and Maestro
- Instrument agent behavior and platform performance using observability tools like Honeycomb
- Troubleshoot complex AI tooling issues spanning both platform and product domains
- Work with version control and CI/CD pipelines, safely managing rollouts and rollbacks
- Contribute to production infrastructure on AWS/Kubernetes using Terraform
- Validate AI outputs for correctness and share useful AI use cases and learnings with engineering peers
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of professional software development experience writing clean, tested, maintainable code
- Hands-on experience with agentic coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot or similar
- Demonstrated experience building MCP servers, agent skills, or other agentic integrations
- Strong background in writing automated evaluations and tests (unit, integration, and end-to-end)
- Proficiency with containerization using Docker and running workloads on Kubernetes
- Solid understanding of CI/CD principles and git-based version control (branching, reviews, safe rollouts)
- Background in modern languages such as TypeScript/JavaScript and/or Python (flexibility on specific languages)
- Experience building and integrating APIs with a focus on developer experience
- Working knowledge of AWS or comparable cloud environments and core cloud services
- Eagerness to go deep on LLMs, AI agents, MCP protocols, and prompt engineering
