Job description

At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.
About the Role
We are looking for a hands-on IT GenAI Tools Support Engineer to own the deployment, configuration, and end-user support of our AI-assisted development and productivity toolchain. You will be the internal expert and go-to resource for vibe coding tools - helping engineers, and business users get maximum value from AI pair-programming and agentic workflow platforms.
Key Responsibilities
Tool Deployment & Administration
  • Deploy, configure, and maintain enterprise licenses for GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Cowork, and Microsoft 365 Copilot across the organization.
  • Manage seat provisioning, policy configurations, SSO/SAML integrations, and access controls for all GenAI tools.
  • Coordinate with IT security to enforce data loss prevention (DLP) policies, code snippet exclusions, and compliance guardrails within each platform.

Enablement & Adoption
  • Design and deliver onboarding programs, live demos, and self-service guides for developers, power users, and business teams.
  • Build and maintain an internal knowledge base of prompting best practices, tool-specific workflows, and use case playbooks.
  • Track adoption metrics (active users, feature utilization, time-to-value) and report to leadership monthly.

Integration & Automation
  • Integrate AI tools with existing developer toolchains - GitHub Enterprise, VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Azure DevOps, Jira, and Microsoft Teams.
  • Set up Claude Code/Cowork agents and MCP connectors to automate internal workflows (document generation, ticket triage, code review, etc.).
  • Work with M365 Copilot extensibility (Copilot Studio, plugins, Graph connectors) to surface enterprise data in AI responses.

Support & Troubleshooting
  • Serve as Tier 2/3 support for GenAI tooling issues - diagnosing authentication failures, IDE plugin conflicts, API connectivity, and performance degradation.
  • Monitor tool health via admin dashboards and vendor portals; coordinate with vendor support on escalations.
  • Evaluate and test new tool updates, model upgrades, and beta features before broad rollout.

Security & Compliance
  • Ensure all AI tools meet company data governance standards - particularly around code not leaving the enterprise boundary.
  • Maintain audit logs for AI tool usage and assist in quarterly compliance reviews.
  • Stay current on Anthropic, GitHub, Microsoft, and Cursor policy changes that affect enterprise deployments.

Required Qualifications
  • 3-5 years in IT engineering, developer tooling, or enterprise software administration.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field.
  • Hands-on experience with at least 3 of the 5 tools: GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cowork (Anthropic), Cursor, Microsoft 365 Copilot.
  • Solid understanding of IDE ecosystems (VS Code, JetBrains) and developer workflows.
  • Familiarity with SSO, OAuth, SCIM provisioning, and enterprise identity platforms (Okta, Entra ID / Azure AD).
  • Experience with REST APIs, webhooks, and light scripting (Python or JavaScript) for automation and integrations.
  • Strong communication skills - able to explain AI concepts to both technical engineers and non-technical business users.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience managing GitHub Enterprise or Azure DevOps at an org level.
  • Exposure to LLM prompt engineering, RAG patterns, or MCP (Model Context Protocol) server setup.
  • Microsoft 365 Copilot admin experience - including Copilot Studio and Graph connector configuration.
  • Familiarity with enterprise security standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001) as they apply to SaaS AI tools.
  • Prior experience rolling out tools to 500+ users in a regulated or enterprise environment.
