Responsibilities
Architect the Connected Ecosystem: We have already operationalized tools like Copilot, Agents, Gemini, Claude, Agentic CLIs, n8n workflows, local agent runtimes, cloud agents, automated PR review, MCP, Agent Skills, etc. Your job is to build the unified, secure layer that connects these tools to our core platforms, breaking down information silos between systems
Define Tiered Autonomy: You will design the security patterns for different levels of agent independence - from "Advisory" (read-only) to "Autonomous" (action-taking). You will implement the "Verifiable State" and "Revert" mechanisms that make Tier 3 autonomy safe
Secure the Frontier: Design the auth patterns for agentic access. You will solve hard problems around authentication, authorization, and "human-in-the-loop" safeguards, ensuring we move fast without breaking our "Zero Trust" principles
Pragmatic Automation: You will be the voice of reason. You know when to use an LLM, and when to just write a script. You will help teams identify "Units of Toil" and target them with the right level of abstraction
Force Multiply the Team: Embed with teams to unblock their workflows. You will serve as the expert on frontier tools, helping engineers and the broader team optimize their setups and adopt "AI Native" workflows
Qualification
Required
Full Stack Systems DNA: You are a polyglot engineer. You understand the entire stack - from frontend interfaces to backend distributed systems and cloud infrastructure
Frontier AI Proficiency: You are fluent in the current landscape of AI engineering. You have built implementations using patterns like MCP, RAG, function-calling, and evals. You understand techniques like AI as a Judge, Agent Self-Improvement, and how to balance deterministic systems with non-deterministic outputs
Security-First Mindset: You understand the risks of deploying LLMs in a production environment. You are familiar with concepts like Shift-Left security, least-privilege access, and robust secrets management
Organizational Influence: You have excellent communication, collaboration, and influencing skills. You can explain complex AI concepts to non-technical stakeholders and drive consensus on architectural decisions
Pragmatism: You treat AI as a component, not magic. You are skeptical of hype and focused on measurable utility
