Enablement Pod Platform SME IRC

We partner with leading Financial Services organizations to deliver large-scale digital transformation, cloud, data, AI, and platform modernization initiatives across global delivery models. We are looking to hire an experienced Platform SME

• Strong software and platform engineering skills with production experience building developer tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure automation
• Hands-on experience with Claude Code (or equivalent agentic CLI tooling - Cursor, Codex CLI, Cline, Aider): writing custom skills, building subagent systems, implementing MCP servers, and authoring AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md context files
• Platform-as-a-product mindset: builds reusable assets with their consumers in mind, prioritises discoverability and self-service, and validates designs against real adoption rather than assumed need
• Deep hands-on experience with Git Lab CI; transferable expertise from Git Hub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure Dev Ops also welcome - not just using these, but building reusable components and templates for others
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi, Cloud Formation) and container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS)
• Understanding of AI-native SDLC practices and how to encode them into platform tooling (automated quality gates, agent-triggered workflows, prompt-aware build steps)
• Experience building and publishing reusable packages, templates, or internal libraries - with proper versioning, documentation, and consumption patterns
• Strong understanding of security-first engineering: encoding SAST/DAST integration, secret management, and policy-as-code into central platform assets
• Ability to work autonomously on complex technical problems while collaborating closely with the team on shared standards
• Experience with project scaffolding and template engines (Backstage software templates, Cookie cutter, Yeoman, Hygen, Copier) and chart/module systems (Helm, Terraform modules)
• Background in developer experience research - understanding how engineers consume platform tooling and designing for adoption
• Experience with observability and monitoring (Open Telemetry, Grafana, Datadog) - particularly instrumenting developer workflows
• Experience in financial services or similarly regulated environments

• Design and build reusable CI/CD templates, pipeline components, and infrastructure patterns that form the core of the central platform's offering
• Develop Claude Code (or equivalent agentic CLI tooling) skills, subagents, and MCP servers that become the standard AI tooling distributed to all client teams
• Implement golden path templates - project scaffolding, pipeline configuration, security guardrails, AI-native workflow defaults, etc.
• Maintain and evolve how platform assets reach engineering teams: versioning, distribution across the appropriate channels (version-controlled component repos, package registries, deployed agent services), compatibility testing, and documentation
• Co-develop shared infrastructure components with federated platform teams, working within their governance and standards frameworks
• Respond to feedback from delivery squads - debugging integration issues, evolving patterns based on real-world usage, and building new platform assets as needs emerge
• Treat consuming engineers as customers: design assets to be self-service, write the docs and examples that remove the need for a support ticket, and instrument usage so the team knows what's actually being adopted
• Contribute to architectural decisions and participate in design reviews with the Platform Team Lead

Our goal is to build an inclusive positive culture where everyone can feel comfortable being themselves, empowering people to create their own high standards and therefore more value.…
