Agentic Tools Architect

About EVA 

EVA acquires enterprise software companies and transforms them into AI-native, profitable, scalable businesses. We obsess over customer success, and we operate as a remote-first organization with globally distributed teams. EVA Central is the operational backbone that runs this machine — the shared platform of business systems (Odoo, Redmine, GitHub, and the surrounding toolchain) through which every portfolio company is onboarded, operated, and measured. 

Why Join EVA 

• High ownership, flexibility, and impact in a fast-moving environment 

• Cross-product, cross-industry exposure across a growing portfolio 

• Career advancement opportunities spanning engineering, product, operations, and leadership 

• Remote-first, globally distributed work 

Role Overview 

EVA runs its operations on a suite of central tools — Odoo for ERP, HRMS and business operations, Redmine for delivery and support workflows, GitHub for engineering execution, and a growing set of adjacent systems. Today these tools are configured for humans. Your mandate is to re-architect them for agents: design and plan the features, plugins, and integrations that turn EVA Central’s operational tools into an agent-operable platform, where AI agents create, route, and resolve work alongside people with minimal human oversight. 

This is a rare hybrid role that combines deep subject-matter expertise in operational tooling and business processes, hands-on plugin and extension engineering (Ruby on Rails first), and agentic AI implementation. 

Core Responsibilities 

Operational Tools Architecture & Feature Planning 

• Own the feature roadmap for EVA Central’s operational tools — Odoo, Redmine, GitHub, and adjacent systems — from business-process discovery through design, planning, and phased delivery 

• Serve as the subject-matter expert on how EVA’s business processes (deal onboarding, delivery, support, finance, engineering operations) map onto tool capabilities, and where the gaps are 

• Design cross-tool workflows and integrations so that work items, code, and business records flow between systems as one coherent operational fabric 

Agentic Implementation & Modernization 

• Design agent-operable surfaces on each tool: typed, secure APIs, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and webhook-driven automation that let AI agents read, create, and resolve operational work safely 

• Lead incremental modernization of legacy tool deployments — upgrading versions, retiring brittle customizations, and replacing manual processes with agentic workflows without disrupting live operations 

• Optimize agentic loops that operate on the tools for cost, speed, and integrity, with guardrails, audit trails, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints where they matter 

Plugin & Extension Engineering 

• Architect and build Redmine plugins in Ruby on Rails, Odoo modules, and GitHub Apps/Actions that extend the products cleanly rather than forking them 

• Engineer enhancements to be upgrade-safe across product versions — tracking upstream releases, isolating customizations behind stable interfaces, and planning migration paths 

• Prioritize contract-first API design between human intent, agent execution, and the underlying tools 

Governance & Quality Control 

• Act as the architectural reviewer for changes to EVA Central tooling, including AI-generated pull requests and agent-authored configuration 

• Mandate testing and characterization coverage around customizations so upgrades and agentic changes land deterministically 

• Establish operational standards — access, data integrity, observability — for agents acting inside business-critical systems 

Required Qualifications 

• 10+ years in software engineering, business-systems architecture, or platform engineering, with deep SME knowledge of operational tools such as Odoo, Redmine, GitHub, or comparable ERP/ITSM/DevOps platforms 

• Expert-level proficiency in Ruby on Rails, including production experience building or maintaining Redmine plugins or comparable Rails-based extensions 

• Strong command of business processes across delivery, support, and operations — able to translate how a business runs into how a tool should behave 

• Practical agentic development experience: MCP, LLM tooling, AI-assisted automation, or agent-orchestrated workflows in production 

• Proven track record building plugins, modules, and extensions that survive product version upgrades, with disciplined API and integration design 

• Commitment to clean, tested, production-grade systems — including when the author of the code is an agent 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Python and Odoo module development experience; PostgreSQL fluency 

• Experience modernizing or migrating legacy tool deployments across major versions 

• Background in SaaS transformation, scale-up, or PE-backed environments 

• Experience with remote or globally distributed teams; comfort in high-ambiguity, high-ownership contexts 

You are not configuring tools. You are designing the operational substrate that allows AI agents to safely run a business at scale.
