Description
Position Summary
This is a senior-level individual contributor on the Engineering Enablement team. The team builds the shared CI/CD infrastructure, AI development tooling, and sandbox environments that hundreds of R&D engineers depend on. A core part of that mission is advancing MeridianLink's AI-native development program — building the harnesses, agent infrastructure, and shared tooling that move engineering teams from ad-hoc AI usage toward autonomous, repeatable development pipelines. This role owns a significant chunk of that platform and drives adoption across engineering teams.
This is a hands-on role: real code, real infrastructure, direct engagement with engineering teams. The measure of success is how much faster you make everyone else.
Key Competencies
What it means to be a Senior Engineer at MeridianLink
Senior individual contributors own their work end-to-end, identify problems before they're surfaced, and make the engineers around them better. Senior engineers at MeridianLink are active, daily users of AI-assisted development tools.
Technical Execution & Delivery
- Owns features and infrastructure end-to-end: design through production release, limited guidance required
- Identifies edge cases and failure modes independently within assigned scope
- Participates actively in code review with constructive, specific feedback
- Surfaces blockers early rather than waiting for check-ins
Craft & Professionalism
- Writes tests that catch regressions without over-engineering the suite
- Monitors shipped work, responds to issues, and follows incidents to resolution
- Puts institutional knowledge into shared systems rather than individual heads
CI/CD & Build Systems
- Designs pipeline abstractions (templates, shared jobs, reusable configs) that work across multiple teams and tech stacks
- Reasons clearly about the tradeoffs between standardization and flexibility at org scale
- Keeps pipelines healthy, observable, and continuously improving
AI Tooling & Developer Infrastructure
- Builds and maintains shared MCP servers, agent orchestration harnesses, and reusable skills and plugins
- Understands LLM developer tooling in practice: tool definitions, agent loops, prompt management
- Designs shared tooling with product thinking: requirements gathering, feedback triage, prioritized backlog
Sandbox & Agent Infrastructure
- Owns the shared infrastructure layer for autonomous AI agent environments: orchestration, provisioning, observability, cost controls, and security guardrails
- Partners with product teams on their individual sandbox configs while maintaining the platform underneath
Enablement & Engineering Advocacy
- Treats engineers as customers: office hours, documentation, feedback loops
- Measures platform impact with DORA metrics, adoption rates, and time-to-productivity data
- Closes the gap between shipping tooling and driving adoption
Expected Duties
CI/CD Platform
- Own and evolve shared infrastructure: templates, shared jobs, abstractions, and standards across R&D
- Resolve systemic reliability issues: flaky tests, slow builds, caching inefficiencies
- Partner with teams during migrations and help them adopt shared abstractions without disrupting delivery
AI Tooling Platform
- Build and maintain shared MCP server infrastructure connecting AI harnesses to internal systems (Jira, Confluence, GitLab, internal APIs)
- Develop agent orchestration infrastructure: scheduling, observability, cost controls, security boundaries
- Build reusable harness skills, slash commands, and workflow scripts that ship as internal plugins
Sandbox Infrastructure
- Own the shared infrastructure for AI agent sandbox environments: container orchestration, environment templates, networking, resource management
- Build and maintain orchestration and admin tooling: provisioning, lifecycle management, health monitoring, cost tracking
- Implement security guardrails for data is
