- Lead the design and implementation of scalable AI platform capabilities used across the software development lifecycle
- Partner with product and security teams to ensure AI solutions are safe, compliant, and production‑ready
- Drive delivery through ambiguity by breaking down complex problems into clear plans and milestones
- Lead buy vs. build decisions, evaluating third‑party solutions alongside internal capabilities
- Identify technical risks and dependencies early, with mitigation and escalation where needed
- Coordinate across multiple engineering teams and time zones to deliver shared outcomes
- Translate complex AI capabilities into clear business values and communicate progress, trade‑offs, and risks to senior stakeholders
- Lead and develop a team of engineers and senior ICs, providing coaching and technical mentorship
- Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement
- Support the growth of emerging leaders by delegating responsibility and increasing scope over time
Requirements
- Strong experience building and operating production AI systems, including LLM‑based workflows
