Job Vacancy: Software Engineer – Devloop Team (Agentic SDLC)

For our client KPN, we are looking for a Software Engineer within the Devloop Team. Devloop’s mission is to accelerate how engineering teams deliver software. You will join a group of software engineers who are deeply concerned with removing friction in development workflows. We do not build customer features, but the environment that enables KPN engineers to deliver faster and with confidence.

What You'll Do

You will design and build solutions and capabilities (backend and developer tooling) that allow teams to safely adopt AI and automation without compromising on reliability, maintainability, or security.

Who Are We?

We are a newly formed team within KPN with a clear mission: to enable engineering teams to deliver high-quality software by providing a paved road with agentic capabilities across the SDLC.

We have noticed that teams often solve the same problems repeatedly. CI pipelines are rebuilt, environments behave inconsistently, tooling is duplicated, and engineers spend valuable time on manual work that should be automated. Often, the solution already exists somewhere else in the company but is not shared or standardized.

Our philosophy is simple: for developers, by developers.

Our primary goal is to expand the paved road into an agentic-assisted software cycle that helps teams plan, design, develop, release, and manage software while remaining safe, reliable, and in control.

What You Will Work On

You will work on internal platform production used by all engineering teams. Examples include:

• Designing and implementing agentic capabilities within the SDLC (planning, coding, testing, releases, and operations).
• Designing and implementing backend APIs that power internal developer tooling.
• Creating the Agentic Paved Road — safe, standardized ways for teams to adopt AI.
• Developing and maintaining our prompt library, guardrails, and usage guidelines.
• Measuring and improving engineering productivity.
• Guiding teams in the adoption and continuous improvement of the SDLC.
• Contributing to standardized procedures, engineering guidelines, and knowledge sharing within the organization.
• Improving how teams build and manage software.
• Enabling engineers to effectively use AI.

Team & Collaboration

You will work closely with:

• Platform Engineering
• DevEx
• Security
• Architecture
• Application teams across the company

We strongly believe that enablement teams should remain connected with engineers. We collaborate in our Amsterdam office on Mondays and Thursdays.

Start Date: 01-04-2026

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a software engineer who builds reliable systems and the community around them. You care about how software is built, make it easier for others to build, and communicate clearly across a wide range of engineering backgrounds.

You probably recognize yourself in several of these:

• You build backend services in Python and/or Go.
• You have experience with scalable and asynchronous applications.
• You've run workloads on Kubernetes and AWS; Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) is familiar territory.
• You value testing and automation — CI pipelines should never be an afterthought.
• You understand DevOps, platform engineering, or developer-experience concepts.
• You like improving systems used by other engineers, and you talk to those engineers to understand what they actually need.
• You make technical ideas accessible to people with different backgrounds and levels of experience.
• You navigate disagreement constructively; when there's pushback on a direction, you engage with it rather than around it.
• You’re curious about AI/LLM capabilities and their practical application in engineering workflows.
• You give and receive feedback comfortably, in code reviews and beyond.
• You care about usability — internal platforms still have users.
• You actively contribute to a healthy engineering culture, through mentoring, knowledge sharing, or simply making sure quieter voices get heard.

This role isn’t for you if:

• You prefer to work heads-down and measure success solely by individual output.
• You treat communication as a status update rather than a core engineering skill.

What We Offer

Impact every engineering team in the company

Work at the intersection of platform engineering, DevEx, and applied AI.

Build systems that change how software is built.

Help introduce AI in a responsible, non-hype, engineering-driven way.

Instead of shipping features to customers, you’ll be shipping capability to engineers.

Working conditions: This job role offers a balanced split between operational (run) and project (build) work, with a distribution of 75% operational and 25% project-related tasks. To minimize the impact on business operations, some changes may be scheduled outside of regular business hours.

Do you want this too? Do you aspire to be the best version of yourself? We are delighted to support your development and invest in an environment where continuous learning is encouraged. We provide you with the freedom to innovate and take initiative. By offering numerous growth opportunities, we help you exceed your own expectations and excel in your work, enabling you to grow both personally and professionally.

Moreover, you can expect the following benefits based on a 36 or 40-hour working week:

• An Employee Benefit Budget equivalent to 10% of your monthly income, which you can use according to your preferences. This budget allows you to purchase additional holiday days or make additional contributions to your pension.
• Flexible working hours and the possibility of location-independent work, depending on the team's planning.
• 100% reimbursement of commuting costs if you travel using public transportation. If you commute by car or motorcycle, you can opt for a commuting allowance.
• A pension scheme with a contribution rate of only 5% from your side.
