About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design and build MCP (Model Context Protocol) skills and tools for the TC.Net agentic layer
Write production-quality agentic code using Anthropic Claude API, OpenAI, or equivalent LLM providers
Define the team's agentic coding standards — prompt architecture, tool-call design, context management, and evaluation patterns
Own LLM cost management: monitor token usage per feature, set cost budgets, choose the right model tier per use case, and enforce cost-aware development practices
Build and maintain prompt regression and eval suites to ensure quality gates on non-deterministic outputs
Establish guardrails for the agentic Control Layer (governance, approval flows, autonomous action policies)
Stay current with the MCP ecosystem, emerging agent frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen), and LLM provider updates
Mentor engineers on agentic patterns — tool use, retrieval-augmented generation, multi-agent orchestration
Own sprint ceremonies — planning, review, retrospective, and daily standups
Run quarterly Program Increment (PI) planning, aligning all teams to roadmap milestones and surfacing cross-team dependencies
Track velocity, remove impediments, and escalate blockers to the engineering leadership team
Own the release train — gate what ships, when, and under what conditions
Define and enforce feature-flag strategy to enable safe parallel runs on the live TC.Net platform
Author and maintain rollback playbooks for every major release
Guarantee zero disruption to existing TC.Net customers throughout the modernization
Directly manage team leads and senior individual contributors; run regular 1:1s, set growth plans, lead performance review cycles
Participate in hiring panels — assess both technical bar and team culture fit
Review high-risk pull requests — scheduler refactors, canonical data model changes, authentication flows
Contribute to architecture decisions as a peer, not only as an approver
Debug production incidents directly; write occasional internal tooling to stay technically sharp
