Core Responsibilities

Operational Tools Architecture & Feature Planning 

• Own the feature roadmap for operational tools — Odoo, Redmine, GitHub, and adjacent systems — from business-process discovery through design, planning, and phased delivery 
• Serve as the subject-matter expert on how business processes (deal onboarding, delivery, support, finance, engineering operations) map onto tool capabilities, and where the gaps are 
• Design cross-tool workflows and integrations so that work items, code, and business records flow between systems as one coherent operational fabric 

Agentic Implementation & Modernization 

• Design agent-operable surfaces on each tool: typed, secure APIs, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and webhook-driven automation that let AI agents read, create, and resolve operational work safely 
• Lead incremental modernization of legacy tool deployments — upgrading versions, retiring brittle customizations, and replacing manual processes with agentic workflows without disrupting live operations 
• Optimize agentic loops that operate on the tools for cost, speed, and integrity, with guardrails, audit trails, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints where they matter 

Plugin & Extension Engineering 

• Architect and build Redmine plugins in Ruby on Rails, Odoo modules, and GitHub Apps/Actions that extend the products cleanly rather than forking them 
• Engineer enhancements to be upgrade-safe across product versions — tracking upstream releases, isolating customizations behind stable interfaces, and planning migration paths 
• Prioritize contract-first API design between human intent, agent execution, and the underlying tools 

Governance & Quality Control 

• Act as the architectural reviewer for changes to Central tooling, including AI-generated pull requests and agent-authored configuration 
• Mandate testing and characterization coverage around customizations so upgrades and agentic changes land deterministically 
• Establish operational standards — access, data integrity, observability — for agents acting inside business-critical systems 

Required Qualifications 

• 10+ years in software engineering, business-systems architecture, or platform engineering, with deep SME knowledge of operational tools such as Odoo, Redmine, GitHub, or comparable ERP/ITSM/DevOps platforms 
• Expert-level proficiency in Ruby on Rails, including production experience building or maintaining Redmine plugins or comparable Rails-based extensions 
• Strong command of business processes across delivery, support, and operations — able to translate how a business runs into how a tool should behave 
• Practical agentic development experience: MCP, LLM tooling, AI-assisted automation, or agent-orchestrated workflows in production 
• Proven track record building plugins, modules, and extensions that survive product version upgrades, with disciplined API and integration design 
• Commitment to clean, tested, production-grade systems — including when the author of the code is an agent 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Python and Odoo module development experience; PostgreSQL fluency 
• Experience modernizing or migrating legacy tool deployments across major versions 
• Background in SaaS transformation, scale-up, or PE-backed environments
