TL;DR · Senior CX Platform Engineer

The Senior CX Platform Engineer joins the CX Platform Engineering team to help Customer Experience teams transition manual work to artificial intelligence. You will design agentic workflows, build Model Context Protocol servers, and develop multi-step workflows for account research, scoping, and customer onboarding. Your daily tasks involve using Claude Code and GitLab Duo to plan, implement, and refactor production-quality Python and TypeScript code. You will maintain the team's agent harness and manage AWS infrastructure, including ECS, RDS, and Lambda using Terraform. Key technical requirements include experience with FastAPI, Flask, Vue, React, Docker, and integrating enterprise systems like Salesforce and Snowflake via REST and GraphQL APIs. You will solve complex problems by translating non-engineering workflows into technical plans while ensuring secure, auditable, and measurable AI implementations.

What you'll do

  • Use AI coding agents like Claude Code and GitLab Duo to plan, implement, test, and review production code.
  • Build and maintain an agent harness including shared conventions, skills, slash commands, and continuous integration checks.
  • Ship multi-step AI workflows for account research, success planning, and customer onboarding as plugins for non-engineers.
  • Develop MCP servers and connectors to provide governed access to enterprise systems like Salesforce, Snowflake, and Gainsight.
  • Manage the CX Application Platform's AWS infrastructure, including ECS, RDS, Lambda, and Terraform configurations.
  • Develop and deploy production-quality Python and TypeScript applications through GitLab CI/CD pipelines.
  • Prototype new applications with CX teams and convert field learning into reusable reference implementations and development paths.
  • Mentor engineers and non-engineers on agentic development while contributing upstream to GitLab products.

What we're looking for

  • Experience building and operating production software from ambiguity to production.
  • Daily, hands-on use of coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, or GitLab Duo on production work.
  • Experience building with LLMs including tool use, MCP servers, agent loops, and prompt/workflow design.
  • Strong Python skills with FastAPI or Flask and TypeScript skills with Vue or React.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS ECS, RDS, Lambda, Terraform, and Docker.
  • Experience integrating enterprise systems through REST and GraphQL APIs with fluency in Git and CI/CD.
  • Experience translating non-engineering workflows into technical plans and asynchronous design documents.
  • Optional experience includes agent harness customization, GitLab Development Kit, or experience with Salesforce, Gainsight, or Snowflake (preferred).
