Overview 

We’re hiring a Agentic Software Development SME to support our clients to design, operationalize, and scale agentic software development using tools like Claude Code and Github Copilot. This role is focused on building reliable, secure, and reproducible Claude Code workflows that integrate with existing engineering stack. You will streamline end-to-end delivery, reducing development and deployment time by standardizing agentic patterns, improving automation and quality gates, and enabling teams to apply agentic AI and AI-native development effectively in real production codebases. Because this space evolves rapidly, you will continuously track new tooling, model capabilities, and agentic patterns, and incorporate what you learn into client delivery and training materials.

Your work will be a mix of client-facing delivery (intake, facilitation, coaching) and asynchronous build work (curriculum and enablement asset development, workflow/tooling templates). Engagements may take multiple forms depending on client and program needs, including guiding clients through intake calls to understand goals, constraints, and current engineering practices; drafting and tailoring curriculum (labs, playbooks, troubleshooting guides, and reusable templates) to address client-specific needs; embedded work alongside client engineering teams over multiple weeks to shape agentic workflows and guardrails; and delivering training via workshops (often 2-4 hour sessions). 

Key Responsibilities 

• Optimize engineering processes with agentic AI: Diagnose workflow bottlenecks, then implement agentic automation, templates, and “golden paths” that reduce cycle time and deployment time while maintaining reliability.
• Team enablement for agentic AI & AI-native development: Coach teams to apply AI-native development using Claude Code or other tools safely and effectively, pairing on real tasks, guiding PRs/diff review, and driving measurable improvements.
• Agentic orchestration & decomposition: Design robust multi-agent workflows, including the use of commands, hooks, skills, and model selection for repeatable outcomes.
• Assessment & evaluation design: Design skill assessments to diagnose current-state engineering and agentic-AI proficiency, define modular entry points, and measure improvement over time (pre/post assessments, competency rubrics, and program effectiveness metrics).
• Claude Code CLI mastery: Operate Claude Code CLI as a daily driver for parallel workstreams and tasks (multi-file refactors, parallel tasks, debugging loops, test creation, and documentation updates).
• Agentic hierarchies & context management: Implement scalable agentic tooling hierarchies, context retrieval and context management for long running and complex workflows (retrieval patterns, state handling, summarization, context hygiene) to prevent drift and improve reproducibility.
• DevSecOps for agentic engineering: Embed DevSecOps principles and practice into agentic workflows (least privilege, secrets hygiene, dependency/supply-chain awareness, policy-compliant usage, auditability).
• Terraform & IaC: Provision and manage cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure) using Terraform, enabling secure environments that support agentic development (ephemeral environments, CI runners, permissions).
• Software architecture & engineering excellence: Apply strong architecture judgment; guide refactors and implementation patterns suitable for AI-native development; enforce testing and quality standards.
• Stay current in agentic software development: Continuously evaluate emerging agentic tooling, model capabilities, and workflow patterns; synthesize learnings into updated playbooks, curriculum, and client recommendations.
• Training assets, teaching & knowledge transfer: Create practical training artifacts (labs, playbooks, troubleshooting guides, examples) and deliver instruction through workshops, live training, and office hours so teams can adopt standardized workflows consistently.

Qualifications

• Deep proficiency with Claude Code and/or Github Copilot applied to real-world codebases (multi-file changes, refactors, debugging, test loops).
• Proven experience building agentic workflows (decomposition, tool-use, verification, parallel execution, recovery strategies) and operationalizing them for teams.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals: architecture, refactoring, testing strategy, debugging, and pragmatic performance/reliability awareness.
• Experience integrating workflows into CI/CD and engineering processes (PR standards, quality gates, automation, deployment pipelines).
• Strong DevSecOps knowledge (secure-by-default practices, access control, secrets handling, compliance-minded engineering).
• Experience designing skills assessments and/or evaluation frameworks (rubrics, diagnostics, capstones, pre/post measurement) for technical learning programs.
• Demonstrated ability to stay current on agentic software development tools, model capabilities, and best practices—and translate that into practical guidance, training assets, and client-facing recommendations.
• Demonstrated ability to teach and coach teams and drive adoption with measurable improvements in delivery outcomes.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to align technical and non-technical stakeholders.
