Project Description
Client is building an agentic workflow-orchestration platform in-house, starting with vulnerability discovery as its first workflow. The client's engineering team with two architect-level, hands-on TypeScript engineers plus a part-time solution-partner subject-matter expert, working the priorities the client sets rather than owning delivery of a fixed scope end to end.
Keywords:
- Workflow/orchestration engines (Temporal, Dapr, AWS Step Functions)
- Distributed systems and event-driven architecture
- Kubernetes
- Senior TypeScript backend engineering
Required (Must have)
- Tech lead or team lead level TypeScript development: writes production code hands-on as a lead, not solely reviewing architecture or delegating implementation.
- Direct experience building on workflow/orchestration engines such as Temporal, Dapr, or AWS Step Functions.
- Strong distributed-systems background: message queues/pub-sub (e.g. Kafka), event-driven architecture, and retry/idempotency patterns.
- Kubernetes or Red Hat OpenShift experience: deployment, scaling, and networking basics.
- Enterprise architecture background sufficient to work from a design document and exercise sound, independent judgment in a fast-moving environment where scope is still being designed and priorities may shift.
Nice to have (ideal to have)
- Comfort evaluating and comparing infrastructure platforms and making build-vs-buy recommendations.
- Experience in regulated or financial-services environments: governance and audit-trail thinking.
- Integrate LLM/AI agent tool-use into platform workflows as directed by the client.
- Duties to be performed (Details around what the consultant would do on the project)
- Augment the client's engineering team building the agentic workflow-orchestration platform, per client direction and prioritization.
- Evaluate and recommend workflow/orchestration engine and infrastructure choices.
- Design and implement composable, polyglot workflow steps within the orchestration harness.
Environment (Details around what technologies are used at the client)
- TypeScript
- Temporal or a comparable workflow orchestration engine
- Kubernetes or Red Hat OpenShift
- Kafka or a comparable message queue/pub-sub system
- Containerized, polyglot workflow steps
