Role
Who you are
- Production-Grade AI Implementation: You have experience building and running production systems, but you’re also deeply curious about the "LLM-ops" lifecycle—moving beyond chat interfaces to integrated agentic workflows
- Systems Thinker: You possess a solid foundational knowledge of distributed systems and understand how to integrate third-party AI APIs (like Claude or OpenAI) without compromising system reliability or latency
- Infrastructure as Code & Beyond: You have hands-on experience with AWS in production, and you treat AI prompts, MCP configurations, and agent definitions with the same version-control rigor as your infrastructure
- The DevEx Mindset: You are passionate about developer productivity. You don’t just build tools; you build experiences that make an engineer's day-to-day life easier and more creative
- Security & Governance First: You understand the risks of AI (data leakage, prompt injection) and can design approval processes and security guardrails that protect the business without slowing down innovation
- Data-Informed: You enjoy defining and automating metrics—like tracking AI-generated code volume or PR velocity—to prove the value of the tools you deploy
- Collaboration: You are a strong communicator who can translate complex AI concepts into clear guides, onboarding docs, and shared best practices for the wider engineering community
- Curiosity: The AI landscape changes weekly. You are motivated to continuously trial new tools and aren't afraid to pivot when a better solution emerges
- We understand some people may not apply for jobs unless they tick every box. But if you're excited about joining us and think you have some of what we're looking for, even if you're not 100% sure, we'd still love to hear from you
What the job involves
- Reporting To: Senior Software Engineering Manager
- You'll be joining the Developer Experience (DevEx) team within our broader Kaluza Technology community. We’re a large team of both data-led and product focused Software and Production Engineers, pushing the boundaries of technology and working at an extraordinary scale. As a collective we strive for engineering greatness and by ensuring best practices across the board of the community
- In this role, you’ll play a pivotal role in architecting and evolving our Internal AI Engineering Platform. You'll be building the infrastructure—from Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to shared agentic workflows—that empowers our software teams to move faster and more securely. Your work will directly impact how Kaluza eliminates defects, scales productivity, and defines the gold standard for AI-augmented development
- Our tech stack is very fluid, but broadly you can find yourself working with: AWS, Kubernetes, LLMs (Claude, GPT, etc.), MCP servers, LangChain/LangGraph, and modern observability tools
- As our AI DevEx Engineer, you will lead the charge in transitioning AI from "experimental" to "essential." Your core responsibilities will include:
- AI Tooling Orchestration: Lead the trials and deployment of next-generation engineering tools, including Claude Code, Kiro, and Opencode, ensuring they integrate seamlessly into the developer inner loop
- Infrastructure & Connectivity: Design and maintain our MCP (Model Context Protocol) registry, establishing a secure and scalable process for approving and deploying new servers and tools
- Agentic Workflows: Develop and maintain "Shared Agents" and agents.md standards to standardize coding styles and automate repetitive architectural tasks
- Spec-Driven Development: Build and evangelize "Build Your Own" AI solutions and low-code automations that support spec-driven development, reducing the gap between requirements and production code
- Enablement & Governance: Author high-quality onboarding documentation, security guidelines, and "Golden Path" examples that help engineers leverage AI safely and effectively
- Performance Analytics: Architect and automate the tracking of AI Impact Metrics, specifically focusing on the volume of AI-generated contributions within PRs and their correlation to code quality and velocity
- Security & Cost Optimization: Partner with security and finance teams to ensure our AI usage reinforces our security safeguards and remains cost-efficient at scale
Our take
The energy landscape is one of the most dynamic and fast-evolving sectors in the world. More and more energy retailers are looking to move further toward digitisation and reap the benefits of modern technology in an increasingly connected world. But many are struggling with the transition, held back by legacy operating systems which slow them down, drain resources, and hamper innovation.
This is where Kaluza comes in. An ecosystem of platforms whose services range from energy billing to smart electric vehicle charging, Its real-time cloud platforms transform supplier operations, reducing the cost to serve and boosting customer engagement. Essentially, its platform is aimed at helping businesses streamline their operations, saving them time, effort, and money which can be better invested elsewhere.
Kaluza is riding the momentum of a growing desire for sustainable business and services. Its program relating to electric car charging, for example, will be able to capitalise on huge new demand in that sector - over 100,000 electric cars are already on the roads in the UK, and Bloomberg New Energy Finance has predicted that electric cars will account for over 50% of new global car sales by 2040. As the globe moves further towards sustainable use of energy in the coming years, Kaluza could be very well positioned to capitalise.
