Responsibilities

  • 01Contribute to the Platform Readiness team's agentic workflows on the Duo Agent Platform: design, implement, and evolve the Core Agentic Workflow (currently published to the AI Catalog as a DAP flow) and the Requirements Agent, enabling automated evaluation of platform readiness assessments against platform requirements
  • 02Evolve the platform requirements knowledge base: contribute to schema design, validation tooling, and CI systems that power the agentic workflow; ensure the schema captures the full scope of platform readiness concerns across all four platforms and domains
  • 03Build integration surfaces that enable feature teams to engage the Platform Readiness team where they already work: issues, merge requests, design documents, and CI/CD pipelines
  • 04Partner with platform teams (Infrastructure, Security, Data) to translate their expertise into structured platform requirements, domain skills, and validation logic without requiring specific domain knowledge
  • 05Contribute to the quality control feedback loop: design systems that surface assessment errors, missed gaps, and content drift back to the governance loop for continuous improvement; measure and improve assessment accuracy and guidance relevance
  • 06Mentor other engineers on the team in agentic-workflow standards, prompt discipline, evaluation methodology, and the principles of human-AI collaboration in platform readiness
  • 07Contribute to technical documentation and architectural decision records that document the Platform Readiness team's technical evolution and rationale for key design choices

Requirements

  • 015+ years of software engineering experience with at least 2+ years in backend, platform, or developer-facing tooling
  • 02Strong proficiency in TypeScript/Node, Python, or Golang (Ruby a plus)
  • 03Experience shipping developer-facing tooling where the primary user is another engineer
  • 04Understanding of GitLab-style development workflows (issues, epics, merge requests, CI/CD, code review) as first-class artifacts that automation can read and reason about
  • 05Ability to work in cross-functional environments across multiple platform teams
  • 06Experience with structured content systems, schemas, or validation tooling
