Agentic Tools Architect (Remote)

Core ResponsibilitiesOperational 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
