You will ensure these solutions meet rigorous engineering, security and quality standards, with appropriate human review before they are shared or deployed.

• Design, build and maintain advanced AI coding and automation agents within Git Hub-based workflows.
• Develop multi-step agentic workflows that extend beyond basic prompting.
• Tune and refine agents to improve reliability, performance and output quality.
• Build robust evaluation frameworks for testing AI-generated code, prompts, Skills and automated workflows.
• Establish human-in-the-loop review and approval processes before solutions are shared or deployed.
• Create and govern reusable prompt libraries, instruction sets and organisational Prompt Ops standards.
• Develop comprehensive Skills libraries that can be adopted across multiple engineering teams.
• Integrate AI agents with CI/CD pipelines, Git Hub workflows and Model Context Protocol servers.
• Embed AI-assisted development practices across the full SDLC.
• Work closely with engineering, architecture, security and platform teams.
• Maintain high standards of coding, testing, documentation and software governance.

• Recent commercial experience with Vibe Coding and AI-assisted software development.
• Strong hands‑on experience with the Git Hub ecosystem and complex Git Hub-based automation.
• Practical experience using tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Git Hub Copilot or similar AI coding platforms.
• Experience building custom coding agents, specialised agents and reusable Skills.
• Strong programming expertise in either Python or Type Script.
• Solid understanding of agent-based architectures and multi-step AI workflows.
• Experience integrating AI solutions with CI/CD pipelines.
• Knowledge of Model Context Protocol and MCP server integration.
• Experience developing evaluation frameworks for AI-generated outputs.
• Ability to write clear, reusable prompts, instructions and technical documentation.
• Strong understanding of software engineering standards, testing and code quality.
• Professional development experience with Rust, Golang or Java.
• Experience establishing Prompt Ops standards across engineering teams.
• Knowledge of LLM observability, guardrails and AI governance.
• Experience implementing human-in-the-loop approval processes.
• Previous experience leading AI-driven engineering or developer productivity initiatives.
