Job responsibilities

• Administer and scale GitHub Copilot and Claude Code platforms across the enterprise with user provisioning, policy enforcement, and usage analytics
• Develop and maintain custom Copilot Skills (i.e., .instructions.md, SKILL.md, etc.) and Agent configurations to encode domain-specific knowledge and team workflows
• Drives team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test strategy acceleration, incident/root-cause analysis support), while establishing consistent validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns across the team.
• Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation
• Design and provision cloud infrastructure using Terraform and AWS services, ensuring reliability and compliance
• Develop internal tooling, automation pipelines, and self-service portals to support AI developer tool adoption
• Develop secure, high-quality production code, and review and debug code written by others
• Build reporting dashboards and metrics pipelines to track AI tool usage, productivity impact, and cost optimization
• Identify opportunities to eliminate or automate remediation of recurring issues to improve operational stability

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience
• Hands-on experience delivering system design, application development, testing, and operational stability
• Working knowledge and experience in backend development either Python and/or Java
• Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI-assisted software development tools (e.g., for coding, code review, test acceleration, troubleshooting) with the ability to set team expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness, performance, and security
• Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; experience coaching engineers on safe, compliant adoption within delivery practices
• Understands LLM-based developer tools in context management, RAG patterns, and responsible AI guardrails
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Spinnaker) and automation frameworks
• Familiar with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS) and serverless architectures
• Active knowledge of agile methodologies, application resiliency, and security
• Practical cloud native experience and understanding of the software development lifecycle

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Enterprise AI-assisted development platform architecture — designs and scales GitHub Copilot, Copilot Enterprise, and Copilot Extensions rollouts across large developer populations, including SSO, license governance, and usage attribution
• LLM integration and agentic workflow design — reference architectures for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, Copilot Extensions/Skills, RAG pipelines, and multi-agent orchestration for internal developer tooling
• AI governance, safety, and compliance — prompt injection defense, data-leak prevention, content filtering, model routing, and audit/telemetry patterns aligned with regulated-industry (finance) responsible-AI standards
• Architecture leadership — authors ADRs, C4 diagrams, and reference architectures; chairs architecture review boards; mentors senior engineers and influences technical strategy across the organization
