Senior Software Engineer - Platform

Responsibilities

• The work spans platform hardening, maintainability, code quality gates, testing, approved MCP integration paths, identity and authorization patterns, and secure-by-default deployment practices for internal AI products.
• Design and build hardened platform capabilities that enable safe, scalable adoption of AI systems across the organization
• Create maintainable, verifiable delivery paths for AI applications through repo templates, pre-commit controls, merge gates, and policy-as-code guardrails
• Develop secure-by-default platform components, APIs, and service patterns that abstract away the complexity of identity, secret handling, authorization, and network hardening from product teams
• Harden MCP and agent integration paths using approved-tool patterns, allowlists, safe runtime defaults, isolation boundaries, and explicit control points
• Raise software quality across AI-heavy codebases through hands-on code reviews, reference implementations, and engineering standards focused on readability, testability, and debuggability
• Partner with GenAI engineers and cross-functional platform teams to reduce approval friction by automating best practices into coherent golden paths
• Integrate with enterprise identity systems such as SSO and SCIM, and design authorization models using least privilege, short-lived credentials, ABAC, and ReBAC where appropriate

Requirements

• 5+ years of software or platform engineering experience shipping internal tooling, shared services, or developer productivity systems.
• Strong software engineering and system design ability, with architecture instincts that go beyond just coding the happy path.
• Track record of improving code quality, engineering standards, and maintainability across a team or product area.
• Experience with CI/CD, infrastructure as code, cloud services, and production rollout/rollback patterns.
• Comfortable being hands-on in design reviews, code reviews, remediation work, and hardening efforts.
• Strong initiative and good judgment in ambiguous environments; interest in AI and agentic systems is highly valuable.
• Strong English language skills are required for this role as we have a highly diverse and global business
• Bonus Points
• Experience with data-intensive applications, distributed systems, messaging, caching, or middleware.
• Experience with AI agent runtimes, MCP-style connectors, sandboxing, isolation, or internal AI platform components.
• Experience with policy-as-code, workload identity, OPA / Gatekeeper / Kyverno, or similar platform control patterns.
• Familiarity with OWASP, threat modeling, secure SDLC, or adversarial considerations for AI systems.
• About Scopely
• Founded in 2011, Scopely is powered by its exceptional team - including thousands of world-class gamemakers around the globe, a distinctive tenet-driven culture
