[Hiring] Senior AI Platform / DevTool Engineer @Progress Partners

Role Description

We're looking for a Senior AI Platform / DevTool Engineer to build the reusable AI tooling, automation, and shared services that help our internal and external teams ship faster and more consistently. This is a platform role, not a customer-facing prompt role, you'll build the RAG systems, AI-assisted workflows, and developer tools that turn scattered individual AI usage into a real engineering capability. You'll have the freedom to go from idea to working internal tool, with real ownership over adoption, reliability, and cost.

What You’ll Do

• Build internal AI tools and workflow automation that remove repeated manual work across Engineering, Product, QA, and Design.
• Implement RAG-based knowledge systems that make product specs, technical docs, and architecture decisions actually searchable and useful.
• Create reusable AI-assisted SDLC workflows, from product briefs and acceptance criteria to test scenarios and release documentation.
• Evaluate and integrate coding assistants, design-to-code tooling, and other AI-enabled developer tools where they create real leverage.
• Define secure, observable, and cost-aware patterns for AI tooling, and own usage, reliability, and cost monitoring across what you build.

Qualifications

• 6+ years in software engineering, platform engineering, developer tooling, or related technical roles.
• 2+ years building AI-powered tools, LLM-based systems, or RAG solutions.
• Strong software engineering background with a track record of shipping reliable, maintainable tools used by other engineers.
• Experience designing APIs, SDKs, or reusable internal services that teams actually adopt.
• Solid grasp of RAG architectures, embeddings, vector databases, and retrieval workflows.
• Strong written communication and the ability to work autonomously in a remote, async environment.
• Comfort with ownership, transparency, and a results-driven mindset.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Figma-to-code, component generation, or design-system automation.
• Familiarity with coding assistants, AI agents, or agentic workflow orchestration (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK, or similar).
• Experience integrating AI tooling into GitHub, Jira, Slack, Confluence, Linear, or CI/CD pipelines.
• Background supporting external engineering teams or vendor delivery models.

Benefits

• Remote-first: work from anywhere in the world, no relocation required.
• Flexible hours: we measure outcomes, not time at a desk.
• Unlimited PTO: take the time you need to rest, recharge, and do your best work.
• Learning & development budget: courses, books, conferences, certifications, whatever helps you grow.
• Home office & wellness allowance: a dedicated budget to set up your workspace and support your health.
• A small, senior, collaborative team where your work is visible and your decisions matter.
• The chance to build products used by millions of people across 160+ countries.
