Senior Software Engineer II (AI Enablement)

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Software Engineer II (AI Enablement) based in United States. The Senior Software Engineer II will build and operate the platform infrastructure that enables organization-wide adoption of AI and agentic technologies. You will own critical systems spanning MCP gateway infrastructure, plugin distribution, model routing, observability, and AI platform tooling. The role combines deep platform engineering with direct business impact, including measurable effects on AI adoption, inference performance, and technology spend. You will work across backend services, developer platforms, security, infrastructure, and AI tooling in a highly collaborative environment. Your work will support both engineers and non-engineers by making agentic capabilities easier, safer, and more scalable to use. This is a hands-on platform role for an experienced engineer who enjoys solving complex problems with real users, operational ownership, and measurable outcomes.

Accountabilities

• Own and extend the MCP Gateway and connector platform, building and hardening integrations with enterprise systems such as Glean, Slack, Jira, Snowflake, Salesforce, Monday, Tableau, and Databricks.
• Design and maintain authentication, authorization scopes, tenancy, rate limiting, and read/write policy enforcement for connected tools, partnering with Security and platform owners to establish safe-by-default access patterns.
• Own the plugin distribution layer and marketplace publishing pipeline, including versioning, CI/CD, plugin pull request reviews, release hygiene, and developer tooling synchronization.
• Build and maintain shared plugins, skills, hooks, and Spec-Driven Development tooling used across engineering teams.
• Create and maintain authoring documentation and guides that enable other teams to contribute to the platform independently.
• Own platform observability, model gateway configuration, and AI cost attribution, extending telemetry and usage pipelines to measure adoption, tool-call health, and inference spending by team, workload, and model.
• Define model-routing strategies and develop benchmarks and evaluation harnesses that support evidence-based decisions about model selection and performance.
• Extend infrastructure that transforms agent outputs into browsable, searchable, and collaborative experiences, including discovery, tagging, engagement instrumentation, comments, expiration, and sharing notifications.
• Run technical enablement activities such as office hours and educational sessions focused on agentic coding and plugin-authorship practices.
• Mentor engineers on AI platform development patterns, plugin creation, and effective use of agentic coding tools.
• Triage and consolidate incoming platform feature requests and help prioritize improvements based on user needs and platform impact.
• Participate in on-call responsibilities for marketplace-published artifacts and gateway availability.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Demonstrated production ownership of a backend service or developer platform, such as an API gateway, service proxy, SDK/CLI, internal developer platform, or comparable system, including responsibility for authentication, releases, and operational health.
• Strong production experience with at least one modern application stack such as Python, TypeScript/Node, Go, or a comparable technology.
• Strong experience with modern CI/CD practices and production software delivery.
• Hands-on experience implementing authentication and authorization for machine-to-machine traffic, including OAuth2, OIDC, M2M credentials, token scoping, and secret management.
• Demonstrated ability to instrument owned systems using metrics, structured logging, tracing, usage analytics, or similar observability practices and use resulting data to inform technical decisions.
• Direct hands-on experience with agentic coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Cody, Copilot agents, Aider, or equivalent tools in production or near-production environments.
• Strong written communication skills, including the ability to create technical documentation, runbooks, and educational resources for engineering teams.
• Experience authoring or maintaining MCP servers, Cla…
