-
Context Engineering: Translate Equifax engineering standards into version-controlled custom instructions and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) frameworks to shape Copilot’s persona.
-
Governance & Security: Establish a "human-in-the-loop" framework for critical actions and enforce code-driven RBAC for GitHub Actions and APIs.
-
Observability: Implement a robust stack to track Copilot’s KPIs, monitoring the effectiveness of the agentic system and optimizing prompt accuracy.
-
Leadership: Mentor senior engineers across Pune and Trivandrum, collaborating with SRE and DevSec leads to ensure compliance with EFX secure software guidelines.
What You’ll Need:
-
10+ years of total software engineering experience (7+ years in cloud-native distributed systems).
-
Expert-level proficiency in Python, Node.js, or Go and familiarity with Java/SpringBoot.
-
2+ years of experience working with LLMs, Prompt Engineering, and building agentic workflows (Tool-use/Function-calling).
-
Deep experience with GCP or AWS, Kubernetes (GKE), and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Helm).
-
Advanced knowledge of GitHub Actions, GitHub Apps, and REST/GraphQL APIs.
-
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.
What Could Set You Apart:
-
Early adoption and implementation of Model Context Protocol (MCP).
-
Proven track record of building RAG systems or developer productivity tools at scale.
-
Experience with event-driven architectures reacting to GitHub webhooks.
-
Contributions to open-source AI projects or developer tooling.
