1. Lead Architect / Tech Lead

What You Care About

Keeping the big picture clean: ensuring new features don’t break existing services, enforcing archetype contracts across services and frontends, maintaining clean API standards, and approving AI solution plans before code gets merged.

Daily Applications

  • System Topology Studio: Visually map services, check downstream impact (blast radius), and auto-generate Kubernetes deployment files.
  • RobOS App Wizard: Scaffold greenfield applications and verify archetype standards across microservices, desktop apps, CLI tools, mobile apps, and data pipelines.
  • RobOS Group Manager: Organize Team Topologies (stream-aligned, platform, enablement, and complicated-subsystem squads) and assign component ownership.
  • Contract Studio: Review and validate API contracts (REST, gRPC, and event streams) with live mock servers.
  • Dev Central & PR Review Board: Review AI solution plans, test edge cases, and approve pull requests with one click.

Typical Workflow

  1. Design System Architecture: Visually adds new services or databases on the interactive architecture canvas.
  2. Govern Archetypes & Teams: Sets squad ownership in Group Manager and standardizes service scaffolding in App Wizard.
  3. Review AI Proposals: When an AI agent picks up a task, the architect reviews the AI’s proposed solution plan before any code is modified.
  4. Watch Video Proof & Approve: Watches the 30-second narrated verification video and approves the pull request.

2. Software Engineer / Developer

What You Care About

Shipping features and solving tricky bugs without wasting hours setting up test databases, configuring compilers, or writing repetitive boilerplate.

Daily Applications

  • RobOS App Wizard: Scaffold new components in seconds or import existing repositories with automatic stack detection.
  • Task Planner & Issue Board: Pick up tasks with automatic Git workspace and devcontainer setup.
  • Git Projects: Connect all your Git repos with one-click setup scripts (dev-setup.sh) and encrypted password management.
  • Developer Protocol Suite: Fast database managers (Postgres, MySQL, Oracle, MongoDB, Redis) and the Git-backed REST client.
  • IDE & PR Review Bridge: Optionally open projects and pull requests directly in IntelliJ IDEA or VS Code with full project context in tow, with interactive breakpoint debugging on demand.

Typical Workflow

  1. Onboard & Scaffold: Set up your company in Group Manager or scaffold/import codebases via App Wizard.
  2. Pick Up a Ticket: Select a task; RobOS provisions the isolated workspace, starts background services, and prepares the dev environment.
  3. Review the AI’s Fix & Plan: Review the AI’s proposed solution plan before authorizing code generation, using breakpoint debugging if runtime variable inspection is needed.
  4. Review PR in IDE or RobOS: Review diffs and automated audits in the Agent Code Review Platform or inside your IDE (IntelliJ / VS Code) with full context in tow, then approve and merge with 1 click.

3. DevOps & Platform Engineer

What You Care About

Keeping Kubernetes clusters stable, automating enterprise identity sync, preventing cloud cost waste, automating deployments, and connecting AI tools securely.

Daily Applications

  • RobOS Group Manager: Configure automated SCIM 2.0 and LDAP directory synchronization with Okta, Azure AD, and OpenLDAP.
  • Kube Studio: Visual control room for Kubernetes clusters (Kind, AWS EKS, Google Cloud GKE, Azure AKS) with live container log streaming.
  • RobOS Data Sources: Connect and manage company databases, AWS S3 storage buckets, and Kafka streaming topics.
  • MCP Manager: Connect and authenticate AI tool servers (Claude Code, Google Antigravity, GitHub Copilot, Gemini) with secure OAuth login popups.
  • Deploy Tracker & CI Monitor: Monitor live rollouts, team health metrics (DORA metrics), and automated failure diagnosis.

Typical Workflow

  1. Directory & Cluster Setup: Syncs corporate employee directories in Group Manager and connects Kubernetes clusters in Kube Studio.
  2. AI Tool Governance: Configures secure tool bridges so AI assistants can safely query databases and trigger tests.
  3. Deployment Monitoring: Watches automated deployments and streams real-time container logs.

4. Product Owner / Engineering Manager

What You Care About

Turning user requirements into clear, actionable sprint tickets, managing team topologies and squad rosters, tracking real progress, and knowing what is shipping without micromanaging developers.

Daily Applications

  • Dev Central: High-level daily dashboard with sprint progress, PR health, blocker radar, and release timelines.
  • RobOS Group Manager: Company tenant administration, team topology modeling, and active user roster verification.
  • Task Planner: Type a feature idea in plain English; RobOS breaks it down into a step-by-step roadmap synced with GitHub Issues or Jira.
  • Deploy Tracker: Real-time deployment timeline and team health metrics (Deployment Frequency, Lead Time, Change Failure Rate).

Typical Workflow

  1. Manage Team Roster & Tenants: Configures company departments, squads, and roles in Group Manager.
  2. Break Down Big Goals: Types a high-level feature goal in plain English; RobOS generates a step-by-step task checklist ordered by prerequisites.
  3. Sprint & Blocker Oversight: Monitors automated task movement and blocker radar on the Dev Central dashboard.
  4. Release Verification: Inspects verified video walkthroughs before production rollouts.
