Responsibilities
• As a Staff Software Engineer, you will provide the technical leadership and architectural vision for the Productivity team. The team is building the infrastructure for an agent-centric software development lifecycle — a paradigm shift where AI agents are the primary operators across the full product development cycle, and humans set direction, define constraints, and review outcomes. You will own the technical strategy across our core platforms: AirDev (AI agent execution engine), AirForge (AI-powered application factory), and Quartermaster (agent workforce governance), shaping how hundreds of engineers — and their AI counterparts — build software at Airwallex. • agent-centric software development lifecycle • AirDev • AirForge • Quartermaster • Agentic Platform Architecture: Design and evolve the architecture for AirDev, our platform for running autonomous AI agents that execute software development tasks end-to-end — from story creation through code generation, testing, and merge request delivery. • Agentic Platform Architecture: • Agent Governance & Orchestration: Architect Quartermaster, the control plane that provisions, constrains, and manages autonomous agent workflows (CREWs) across the organization, including safety, auditability, and progressive autonomy controls. • Agent Governance & Orchestration: • AI Application Infrastructure: Lead the technical direction for AirForge, a containerized AI-powered application factory that enables developers and non-engineers to generate, run, and share web applications from natural language — including its desktop runtime, container orchestration, and MCP-based integration layer. • AI Application Infrastructure: • System Design & Integration: Design event-driven architectures connecting AI agents with enterprise systems (GitLab, Jira, Confluence, Slack) via Kafka pipelines, webhooks, and APIs — enabling closed-loop automation across the full product development lifecycle. • System Design & Integration: • Technical Leadership: Define domain-level technical roadmaps, review RFCs, and mentor senior engineers. Raise the bar on architecture quality, security posture, and operational maturity across the team's platform services. • Technical Leadership:
