About the role
Software engineer role in Omnea's Engineering Acceleration team within Platform Engineering, building tooling and infrastructure to support AI-assisted software development, agent tooling, context management, development environments and automated validation.
Responsibilities
- Build systems for AI-native software engineering. Develop tooling and infrastructure that enable engineers to delegate substantial engineering work to agents, spanning investigation, implementation, testing and code review. Improve the context, execution environments and feedback available to agents so they can complete increasingly complex tasks reliably.
- Improve development and testing environments. Develop the infrastructure that allows engineers and agents to reproduce problems, run applications and verify changes. Improve development environments, previews and automated validation.
- Evaluate quality and impact. Build evaluations for agent behaviour and test changes to context, tools and configuration against representative engineering tasks. Measure the effect on correctness, review effort, reliability and cost before wider rollout.
- Identify and address engineering bottlenecks. Work with engineers across Omnea to identify friction in development, testing and delivery. Prioritise improvements based on their impact on engineering productivity and software quality, and measure the results.
- Lead tooling selection and adoption. Assess emerging tools and make build-versus-buy decisions based on capability, integration effort and long-term maintenance. Spearhead the selection and rollout of an agentic development platform (ADP), giving engineers a single interface for tooling and agent management.
- Own systems through delivery and operation. Take responsibility for technical design, implementation, deployment and ongoing operation. Build for reliability and maintainability, with appropriate observability, access controls and recovery mechanisms.
Qualifications
- Strong software engineering fundamentals. You have experience designing, shipping and operating production software. You bring sound judgement to system design, testing and reliability, and can diagnose failures across application and infrastructure boundaries.
- Practical AWS serverless experience. You've built or maintained serverless infrastructure on AWS, deployment pipelines or development environments. You understand the trade-offs around access control, isolation, observability, reliability and cost.
- Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development. You've applied coding agents to software development and understand their capabilities and failure modes. You have practical experience with the context, tools and verification needed to use them effectively.
- Product engineering background. You've worked as a product engineer shipping user-facing features, and you bring that mindset to internal tooling. You can translate developer needs into well-designed tools and services. You evaluate success through adoption, user feedback and measurable improvements to the development process.
- Independent execution. You can scope ambiguous technical problems, assess alternatives and deliver projects without a detailed specification. You make considered trade-offs between delivery speed, reliability and long-term maintenance.
- Effective collaboration. You communicate technical decisions and trade-offs clearly, work constructively across team boundaries and incorporate feedback into your approach. You share knowledge and contribute to the engineering practices of the wider team.
