Description
Project Forge
Requirements
Required Skills & Experience
Strong software engineering background with production experience in modern languages/frameworks (TypeScript, Python, Java, or similar)
Hands-on experience with Claude Code (or equivalent agentic CLI tooling — Cursor, Codex CLI, Cline, Aider): writing custom skills, building subagents, configuring MCP servers, and integrating AI tooling into development workflows
Demonstrable experience with AI-native development practices: prompt-first development, AI pair programming, agent-assisted code review
Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines (GitLab), Git workflows, and platform tooling — able to modernise and improve existing setups
Experience working embedded within engineering teams (not just isolated delivery)
Ability to coach and upskill other engineers through pairing, demos, and knowledge transfer
Comfortable with ambiguity — able to assess an unfamiliar codebase, identify improvement opportunities, and prioritise pragmatically
Desirable Skills & Experience
Background in DevOps or platform engineering (infrastructure-as-code, container orchestration, observability)
Familiarity with financial services engineering environments (regulated change processes, security constraints)
Experience contributing to or maintaining internal developer platforms or golden path tooling
Knowledge of software delivery metrics (DORA, cycle time, deployment frequency) and how to improve them
Job responsibilities
Key Responsibilities
Deploy into product squads as part of the discovery and landing phase — assess current state, contribute to the transformation backlog, and begin immediate delivery alongside the team
Drive tech debt reduction and pipeline modernisation within the engineering team’s production codebase during the early modernisation phase
Author and maintain AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md context files that capture product knowledge for LLM-assisted development
Inject centrally-published platform assets (agents, templates, CI/CD patterns) into live repositories during the rollout phase, ensuring they integrate cleanly with existing workflows
Build custom Claude Code (or equivalent agentic CLI tooling) skills and subagent architectures tailored to the squad’s domain — automating repetitive tasks, code generation, and review workflows
Coach squad engineers on AI-native delivery habits: prompt-first PRs, agent-assisted reviews, effective use of Claude Code (or equivalent agentic CLI tooling) in daily development
Feed learnings, patterns, and reusable assets back to the Central Platform Team for inclusion in the centrally-available components
