Agentic Tools Architect

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
