Software Engineer II

Truist Bank • Atlanta, GA

8d • Onsite

About The Position

In this role you innovate in a team building an AInative Internal Developer Platform where agentic AI and GitOps converge to reinvent developer experience. We’re moving beyond humanonly workflows to autonomous, agentdriven delivery that learns, documents, tests, and ships with minimal friction—so engineers can focus on higherorder problem solving. You’ll help shape paved paths that are secure by default, observable by design, and delightful to use. You’ll productize a GitOpsfirst, Ansiblepowered automation factory across OpenShift/Kubernetes, GitLab, Argo CD, Backstage, and OpenTelemetry. Expect to design reusable templates, policyascode guardrails, and autonomous runbooks that compress lead time from days to minutes. If you love turning complex platforms into elegant self-service and are excited by AI agents that code, document, and operate alongside humans, let’s build the next era of delivery together. What success looks like: within months, your golden paths are the default for new services, most changes flow through GitOps with Ansiblepowered automation, and agentic assistants reliably generate docs/tests and handle routine ops. Lead time shrinks, noisy alerts drop, and platform SLOs remain steady—clear, measurable improvements that teams choose because they work.
