Mission
Lead AI-assisted software engineering activities for Meridian by designing repeatable SDLC patterns that help analyse, validate, document, and evolve complex cloud software stacks. The role anchors the engineering approach for OpenStack-derived services, repository-scale understanding, and sovereign software handover readiness.
Role focus
This senior position focuses on turning AI development platforms into disciplined engineering capability. The candidate should guide how coding agents, open-source or open-weight coding models, and enterprise-approved toolchains are used to accelerate code understanding, refactoring support, documentation, and transition readiness without weakening evidence quality or confidentiality.
Key responsibilities
Define and lead AI-assisted SDLC patterns for repository intake, code exploration, service mapping, build diagnosis, documentation, and engineering evidence generation.
Guide analysis of OpenStack-derived control-plane services, APIs, dependencies, integration flows, and build structures across multiple repositories and teams.
Evaluate and operationalize AI development platforms, coding agents, and approved open-weight or Chinese coding model stacks for secure enterprise use cases.
Establish human-in-the-loop controls, quality gates, prompt libraries, reusable review patterns, and evidence standards for AI-generated engineering outputs.
Coach software engineers and platform specialists on safe, effective use of AI tools while coordinating with architecture, security, DevOps, and testing teams.
Produce senior stakeholder-ready artefacts including transition risks, service decomposition views, codebase maturity observations, and recommended engineering actions.
Examples of market tools, models, and SDLC platforms expected
AI development environments such as Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, Continue, Cline, or VS Code-based extensions connected to enterprise-approved model endpoints.
Open-source, open-weight, or Chinese coding-capable models such as DeepSeek Coder, Qwen/Qwen-Coder, CodeGeeX, StarCoder, Code Llama, Mistral, or similar models operated through approved controls.
Agentic and SDLC workflow components such as LangGraph, OpenAI Agents SDK, AutoGen, LlamaIndex, RAG pipelines, evaluation loops, and structured tool-calling patterns.
Engineering environments including GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, Jenkins, ArgoCD, Helm, Docker, Kubernetes, private package registries, and terminal-native automation workflows.
Candidate profile
8+ years in software engineering, platform engineering, or technical architecture roles, with proven ownership of complex engineering workstreams.
Strong hands-on coding skills in Python plus at least one backend or systems language such as Go, Java, C, C++, or Rust.
Deep practical experience using AI coding agents and LLM-enabled SDLC workflows for large codebases, technical documentation, and engineering acceleration.
Good understanding of OpenStack-derived cloud software architectures, modular service decomposition, CI/CD, Kubernetes-based delivery, and platform operations.
Able to lead senior engineers in ambiguous environments, challenge AI outputs, and convert incomplete evidence into structured, actionable engineering decisions.
Comfortable working in high-accountability, confidentiality-sensitive enterprise programs where auditability, traceability, and sovereignty constraints are mandatory.
