Data Engineer Copilot Agent & SDLC Context Platform Engineer

We are seeking a Copilot Agent & SDLC Context Platform Engineer who will design and build the technical foundation for GitHub Copilot Custom Agents that support developers in achieving SDLC, compliance, security, and quality standards . This role focuses on constructing the data systems, context layers, and workflows that allow Copilot agents in VS Code to operate with a deep understanding of our engineering environment.

You will build and maintain MCP servers , lightweight RAG pipelines , and structured developer context databases that provide agents with rich knowledge about code, requirements, architecture, traceability, and compliance. You will further integrate these systems into the SDLC through automations, events, orchestrations, and workflow logic , enabling full visibility and actionable insights across engineering and tooling ecosystems.

This is not an AI model development position. This is a systems, data, and workflow engineering role focused on assembling the context and automation backbone required for intelligent Copilot agents to significantly enhance developer productivity and SDLC adherence.

skills, tools, hooks, event handlers

integrations with internal APIs, databases, and SDLC systems

agent workflows to support SDLC, compliance, security scanning, and quality gates

MCP & Context Infrastructure

Develop Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to expose structured engineering data and insights into Copilot:

metadata from codebases

requirements and test links

security signals

architecture dependencies

SDLC rules and compliance data

Establish structured developer context databases for the agent environment:

SQL repositories

graph databases

metadata catalogs

vector indexes for lightweight RAG (pragmatic, not research-heavy)

Workflow & SDLC Automation

DevSecOps

code quality and static analysis

architecture governance

security/compliance scanning

dependency and traceability validation

Integrate agent capabilities into:

VS Code (primary environment)

GitHub repositories and PR flows

CI/CD pipelines

engineering and security tools

✅ Required Experience

Core Skills

10+ years in data engineering, workflow automation, or platform engineering
