What's the challenge?

You'll design, build and evolve reusable platform capabilities, including:

● AI agents and agentic developer workflows

● AI-powered CLIs and self-service developer tooling

● Kubernetes Operators and controllers

● Platform APIs and SDKs

● Golden Paths, developer portals and self-service workflows

● Policy engines and automated governance workflows

● GitHub Actions and CI/CD automation

What will the day-to-day look like?

● Deliver the hard problems. Design and implement the platform's most complex, business-critical capabilities, and set the bar through production-quality code, reference implementations and reusable components.

● Drive technical direction. Shape architecture and engineering standards through code, reviews and pairing — reducing ambiguity with prototypes rather than documents.

● Own developer experience. Partner directly with engineers and data scientists to find friction, then build self-service capabilities that measurably improve their productivity. We treat the platform as a product and iterate on it with feedback and metrics.

● Champion AI-assisted engineering. Prototype emerging AI capabilities and bring AI-native practices into the SDLC.

● Lead the cloud & DevSecOps foundation. Drive solutions across IAG's cloud environments (primarily AWS) and advance security and automation practices.

● Grow the team. Mentor engineers, share knowledge, and foster an inclusive, collaborative engineering culture — while communicating technical decisions clearly to non-technical stakeholders and keeping technical risk, debt and compliance well managed.

● In your first 6 months you'll have shipped platform capabilities that a large share of IAG's engineers use daily, established patterns others build on, and made a measurable dent in developer friction.

What are we looking for?

Significant experience designing and building developer platforms or large-scale software platforms, with a strong focus on developer experience, reliability and scalability.

● Significant experience designing and building developer platforms used by large engineering organisations, with a strong focus on developer experience, reliability and scalability. We value candidates who've operated at enterprise scale while retaining the speed and autonomy of a high-growth environment - the ability to prototype and ship without heavy process.

● Proven track record delivering production software in Python (our primary language), and in Go for systems-level components such as Kubernetes Operators and controllers.

● Demonstrated ability to deliver large-scale platform capabilities hands-on - SDKs, CLIs, platform APIs or similar.

● Strong hands-on experience with cloud architecture and services (AWS preferred).

● Experience leveraging AI-native engineering workflows (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot or similar) to accelerate delivery.

● Leads through technical credibility and hands-on engineering rather than positional authority, with the communication skills to mentor and guide teams.

Familiarity with containerisation and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, ArgoCD/Flux) is expected. A degree in a relevant field is welcome but equivalent industry experience counts equally.

Valuable background

● Experience building AI agents or agentic developer workflows

● Experience designing Kubernetes Operators or controllers

● Experience building Backstage plugins or Internal Developer Platforms (Typescript / React)

● Experience designing platform APIs or SDKs

● Experience with LLMs, RAG, MCP or AI infrastructure

● Experience building multi-tenant SaaS platforms

● Contributions to open-source software or developer tooling
