Manager, Software Engineering - Agentic Engineering Platform for GESTC

Position Summary

Are you someone who challenges the status quo, acts autonomously, and has experience leading platform and knowledge engineering work in broad-scale transformation programs? Are you ready to take the next leap in your career by leveraging your experience to convert a legacy software development process into one led by agentic models? Are you ready to build the tooling and knowledge infrastructure that other engineering teams will depend on every day? If the answer to all of the above questions is "Yes," come join the world's leading professional services firm. If you are prepared and poised to take the next step in your career, you can help build the platform that powers agentic software delivery across a global business. Then we want to talk to you.

Work you'll do

As a Manager, Agentic Engineering Platform, you will build and lead a small, high-leverage engineering team responsible for the infrastructure that underpins our agentic software development lifecycle. You will take a hands-on approach to designing and building the LLM Wiki and AWS Bedrock-managed knowledge bases that serve as steering content for agentic development tools. You will own the solution architecture behind these systems, applying agentic AI patterns such as retrieval-augmented generation, tool calling, and stateful workflows, and building in LLM evaluation, observability, and cloud-native deployment from the outset, all while keeping the platform aligned with enterprise architecture, security, compliance, and operational standards. You will build integrations between software development tools such as AWS Kiro and Azure DevOps, so that knowledge captured in ADO wikis becomes steering content, and so that agentic tools can read program artifacts such as epics, features, and user stories to generate code directly from approved requirements. You will also build integrations between ServiceNow and Azure DevOps that create defects automatically and route pull request assignments to the right developers. Beyond these integrations, you will deliver tools, utilities, and workflows that help technical program managers identify risk and cross-project dependencies by intelligently processing information across the platforms and tools our programs already use. The ideal candidate is a dependable team player and mentor who can move fluidly between hands-on engineering and defining the technical direction of a growing platform. Key responsibilities include the following:

• Platform Ownership: Lead the architecture, build, and ongoing support of the LLM Wiki, AWS Bedrock-managed knowledge bases, and related steering content that power agentic development tools.
• Agentic Solution Architecture: Design scalable, secure, and maintainable AI solutions using retrieval-augmented generation, tool calling, and stateful workflows, with LLM evaluation, observability, and cloud-native deployment built in.
• Enterprise Alignment and Governance: Define service boundaries and integration patterns, and ensure the platform aligns with enterprise architecture, security, compliance, and operational standards.
• Tool Integrations and Automation: Build and maintain integrations across AWS Kiro, Azure DevOps, and ServiceNow so program artifacts, defects, and pull request workflows move automatically through the platform.
• Risk and Dependency Enablement: Deliver tools and workflows that help technical program managers identify risk, dependencies, and delivery issues across platforms.

A successful candidate would possess these skills:

• Strong collaboration and relationship-building skills
• Clear, concise communication with technical and non-technical audiences
• Adaptability and a strong bias for learning and continuous improvement
