**Expectations**
- Deliver production‑grade automations with full test coverage and documentation.
- Scale MCP services and secure API integrations across Slack, Jira, Salesforce, and internal systems.
- Achieve measurable efficiency gains (e.g., 50 % reduction in manual data entry, 30 % faster onboarding).
- Maintain compliance with security and data‑integrity standards in US and EU regions.

**Key Responsibilities**
- Engineer and expand MCP to support AI workflows and agentic systems.
- Build and maintain scalable automations, APIs, and reusable modules for identity sync, bulk data imports, and AI‑to‑API orchestration.
- Enforce role‑based access controls, SAML/SSO integrations, and audit‑ready change management.
- Produce RFCs, technical requirement documents, and internal documentation aligning MCP features with enterprise use cases.
- Advocate test‑driven development, code reusability, and open‑source best practices.
**Required Skills**
- 5+ years software engineering experience, strong proficiency in Ruby on Rails.
- Hands‑on experience with automation/orchestration platforms (Workato, UiPath, Zapier, n8n, Prefect, or custom tools).
- Experience building event‑driven pipelines (MCP, AWS Step Functions, or equivalents).
- Proficient scripting in Python and/or JavaScript for custom connectors and data transformations.
- Deep understanding of API design, secure integrations, SAML/SSO, and RBAC.
- Strong problem‑solving, documentation, and communication skills; ability to work in fast‑moving, cross‑functional teams.
**Required Education & Certifications**
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent professional experience.
- Preferred: security or cloud certifications (e.g., CISSP, AWS Certified Solutions Architect, GCP Professional Cloud Architect) and automation platform certifications (e.g., UiPath Certified RPA Developer).
