002ARC - Platform Development Lead

This role will lead the transition from a working prototype to a scalable, multi-user
platform, enabling client development teams to safely build and extend reporting
agents through controlled APIs and reusable components.
You will be the first engineering lead oEshore, responsible for hands-on development,
platform design, and establishing engineering standards.

Key Responsibilities
Platform Build & Architecture
Refactor an existing Python-based prototype into a modular, production-grade
platform
Define clear service boundaries (API layer, orchestration, agent runtime, data
access)
Build reusable components that allow extension without exposing core engine
logic
Agent Framework & Orchestration
Design and implement frameworks for AI agents and reporting workflows
Build orchestration for multi-step execution (deterministic + AI-driven)
Ensure outputs are traceable, auditable, and suitable for financial reporting
Developer Enablement
Enable internal/client developers to:
o build and deploy reporting agents
o reuse approved components
o access platform capabilities via APIs (without direct code access)
Implement access controls and abstraction layers
Full Stack Development
Lead development across:
o Backend: Python, FastAPI
o Frontend: Next.js
o Real-time: WebSockets
Build simple internal interfaces for:
o job executiono monitoring
o output review
Code Governance & DevOps
Own development workflows in Azure DevOps
branching strategy, PRs, code reviews, merges
