Overview
The Software and Digital Platforms team in France is looking for an AI Powered Developer Productivity Architect to help Digital Natives and high growth startups transform how software is built using AI native development platforms.
In this role, you will work with some of the most innovative software companies to design and implement AI powered developer platforms that dramatically improve engineering productivity. A key focus will be enabling organizations to adopt agentic development workflows using modern tools such as Copilot CLI, multi agent ecosystems, and autonomous coding agents that can assist engineers across the entire development lifecycle.
You will guide engineering teams in building AI native DevOps environments where automation is embedded throughout the GitHub lifecycle. This includes helping organizations integrate intelligent coding agents directly into development workflows, enabling developers to assign issues to AI agents and automatically generate pull requests, tests, and documentation.
A central part of the role is supporting the adoption of multi agent ecosystems through platforms such as Agent HQ, enabling interoperability across AI coding systems including Copilot, Claude, and Codex. These architectures allow engineering teams to orchestrate specialized agents that collaborate to accelerate development, testing, and deployment.
You will also help organizations implement enterprise grade security and governance for AI assisted development, ensuring that AI powered coding workflows integrate seamlessly with existing DevOps practices, compliance requirements, and security standards.
Working closely with founders, CTOs, and engineering leaders, you will help define the next generation of developer productivity platforms and enable Digital Native companies to build and ship software faster using AI.
