Director, Applied AI Engineering

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings: About the role (maybe Role Overview), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content. We have content: Role Overview paragraph. Then Key Responsibilities (list). Then "The team:" paragraph. Then "The successful candidate will possess:" paragraph (soft skills). Then "Required Qualifications:" list of qualifications. Then "Other:" bullet points: Ability to work in your local office at a minimum of 3 days per week, Ability to travel 10%, Limited immigration sponsorship may be available. Then Pay: wage range $151400 to $311000, plus discretionary annual incentive program. Also mention "EA_ExpHire" maybe ignore. We need to map to sections: About the role (role overview). Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities). Requirements? Could be "Required Qualifications". Qualifications maybe same as Requirements? We'll treat Requirements as maybe the soft skills? Actually they have "The successful candidate will possess:" which is soft skills. Could be Skills. We'll put Skills section for that. Qualifications maybe the Required Qualifications (education + experience). Benefits? Not explicit besides maybe discretionary annual incentive program (bonus) and limited immigration sponsorship. Could be Benefits. Pay section: wage range. Schedule: ability to work in office min 3 days per week, travel 10% (maybe schedule). We'll include Schedule section for office days and travel. We must not include headings with filler. Ensure we don't repeat job title. Use

for each section heading. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use

  . We must preserve all substantive information, not invent. Let's extract details. Role Overview paragraph: "As a Director, Applied AI Engineering , you will shape and own the engineering strategy and technical direction for your service line-translating business objectives into engineering strategy, mapping business capabilities to the enterprise technology landscape, and defining how GenAI and agentic capabilities are built directly into the products we deliver. You will develop and execute a forward-looking technology roadmap that drives simplification, scalability, and efficiency-rationalizing the landscape and integrating the service line's portfolio within the wider enterprise across multiple upstream and downstream systems. Leading across product groups and the service line, you will stay hands-on in your craft-shaping architecture, integration, design, and code-while driving the standards and enterprise reference architectures that engineers build against. Your leadership will be pivotal in delivering tangible value across the service line's product and AI investments, aligning technical solutions with business and technology strategy, and advancing Applied AI engineering across the organization. You will bring extensive engineering craftsmanship and deep expertise across software and data engineering, enterprise and integration architecture, and AI/ML and GenAI, together with an exemplary track record of high-quality, outcome-focused delivery at scale. The ideal candidate is a role-model engineering leader who leads by doing -owning strategy, elevating standards, developing engineers and emerging leaders, and building trusted relationships with stakeholders from engineering teams to senior executives and service-line leadership." We'll put that in

  . Key Responsibilities: It's a long paragraph with bullet-like sentences separated by periods. We need to turn into list items. The text includes headings like "Strategic Vision and Alignment:", "Advocacy and Technology Roadmap:", etc. We can treat each as a list item with the description. Let's parse: - Strategic Vision and Alignment: Accountable for defining, communicating, and continuously refining the engineering strategy for the service line-translating business objectives into actionable strategy, mapping business capabilities to the enterprise technology landscape, defining how GenAI and agentic capabilities are built directly into the products we deliver, and shaping how those products integrate within the enterprise across multiple upstream and downstream systems-in alignment with the Business Strategy and US Deloitte Technology strategy. Collaborate with diverse stakeholders and executives, including businesses and enabling areas as well as product, engineering, experience, delivery, security, and infrastructure teams, across all organizational levels. - Advocacy and Technology Roadmap: Champion, own, and execute the integrated Applied AI engineering, architecture, and technology strategy and its implementation roadmap across the service line-driving simplification, scalability, and efficiency, and actively rationalizing the landscape by removing unnecessary systems, integrations, and bottlenecks. Ensure the organization is well-informed about objectives, KPIs, maturity, compliance, and progress. Promote a culture of reuse, quality, and speed-keeping an eye on leverage of existing assets and on the inference, token, and cloud cost of what we build, to maximize outcomes and minimize total cost. - Craft Mastery and Objectives Realization: Define, measure, and drive the achievement of KPIs and NFRs spanning system performance, scalability, security, reliability, interoperability, auditability, and maintainability, and own engineering health and delivery KPIs across the product groups and the service line. Establish and evolve Applied AI engineering, enterprise and integration architecture, and AI/ML/GenAI reference architectures, standards, and best practices-including spec- and context-driven development, evaluations, AI agent orchestration, and the AI and Agentic SSDLC that carries work from discovery to production to operations with full automation and quality checks through the SSDLC lifecycle. Remain hands-on with design, architecture, integration, and code-contributing to product group and service line velocity and staying engaged with engineers across the SSDLC-while reviewing standards and code, driving tech-debt reduction, and experimenting with new technology. - Capability Evolution and Development: As a recognized engineering leader, mentor and develop engineers and emerging leaders, building the engineering talent bench across the product groups and the service line. Coach modern Applied AI engineering practices-full-stack and micro-services, integration tools and practices, cloud-native design, AI/ML/GenAI and agentic systems, data engineering, application-level infrastructure-as-code, and advanced deployment techniques (Blue-Green, Canary, A/B testing) that minimize downtime. Lead by example through thought leadership-showcasing experiments internally, speaking at conferences, publishing whitepapers or blogs, and leading R&D collaborations, including with academia and communities. Cultivate a growth mindset and modern engineering behaviors across the organization. - Iterative Value Delivery: Embrace an iterative and incremental approach to Applied AI product engineering and integration architecture, favoring action and rapid learning over extensive upfront planning. Apply a leaning-forward approach and empirical methods to navigate complexity and uncertainty, ensuring each iteration delivers value and stays aligned with customer and business goals. - Customer-Centric Problem Solving: Maintain a relentless focus on solving the most critical challenges faced by customers and users, aligning technical solutions with business outcomes. Minimize unnecessary technical complexity and avoid overengineering-features, functionality, and integration approaches that do not add value-and drive teams toward peak performance through continuous learning and collaborative execution. Collaborate, challenge, and own technical decisions advocated by business or other groups that do not fit or advance the enterprise ecosystem. - Expert Proficiency and Continuous Improvement: Possess deep expertise in modern Applied AI engineering and architecture practices, with a keen ability to identify inefficiencies and opportunities for innovation across the technology landscape and the product lifecycle. Continuously enhance the engineering operating model to be lean, adaptable, and responsive-guiding and transforming the organization to embrace lean principles and foster a culture of innovation. - Tech/Quality Risk Management: Establish and evolve enterprise reference architectures, coding standards, and engineering and quality benchmarks that ensure robust, secure, scalable, and reliable/resilient solutions. Ensure appropriate, responsible technology adoption-developing explainable, scalable, reliable, and secure AI and agentic products-and proactively identify technical risks, developing mitigation strategies through proactive problem-solving and contingency planning, ensuring operational excellence and resilience across the product groups and the service line. - Influential Communication: Influence, persuade, and drive decision-making across the organization. Communicate effectively in both written and verbal forms, crafting clear, structured arguments and technical trade-offs supported by evidence. - Organizational Engagement and Collaboration: Engage stakeholders at all levels-from team members and middle management to senior executives and service-line leadership-building collaborative, constructive relationships and co-creating momentum and value across the organization. We'll put each as

• .

We develop and deploy cutting-edge internal and go-to-market solutions that help Deloitte operate effectively and lead in the market. Our reputation is built on a tradition of delivering with excellence." We could put this under About the role maybe as extra paragraph, but we already have role overview. Could add another paragraph under About the role? Might be okay to include as part of About the role. But we can also create a separate section "Team Overview" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are limited to those given; we should not create new headings. So we can incorporate this into About the role paragraph (maybe as second paragraph). That's fine. Next: "The successful candidate will possess: Excellent interpersonal and organizational skills, with the ability to handle diverse situations, complex projects, and changing priorities, behaving with passion, empathy, and care." We'll put under Skills section as

  or list? It's a sentence. Use

  . Next: "Required Qualifications: A bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, data science, machine learning, or related discipline. Experience is the most relevant factor.12+ years of full-stack software engineering experience with most of the following: Angular, React, NodeJS, Python, C#, .NET, Java, SQL/NoSQL, REST/SOAP/GraphQL, SSO/MFA, PyTorch, TensorFlow, LangChain, LangGraph, as well as unit and integration testing frameworks.8+ years of experience architecting and delivering enterprise solutions on modern technology stacks (e.g., API Gateways, Message Brokers, Queuing Services, Workflow Automation & Orchestration, ETL/ELT, Event Streaming, Real-Time Data Processing, Service Mesh) and cloud-native engineering, using FaaS, PaaS, and micro-services on any of the cloud hyperscalers such as Azure, AWS, or GCP, including leveraging their AI/ML services such as Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, or Vertex AI, plus application-level infrastructure-as-code and cost-aware engineering (FinOps accountability).5+ years of experience building AI/ML and agentic applications, with hands-on GenAI experience across LLM integration (OpenAI, Anthropic, or open-source models), RAG pipelines, prompt engineering, vector databases, evaluations, and AI agent orchestration.5+ years of experience in establishing enterprise engineering standards, including actively leading, mentoring, and guiding large engineering teams in the adoption and continuous improvement of these standards.Prior software engineering experience with the understanding of Business Context Diagrams (BCD), sequence/activity/state/entity relationship/data flow diagrams, OOP/OOD, data structures, algorithms, and code instrumentations, and AI-augmented spec-driven development.Prior experience using methodologies & tools such as XP, Lean, DevSecOps, SRE, ADO, GitHub, SonarQube, MLflow, and agentic AI frameworks (e.g. LangFuse, LangSmith, or equivalent multi-agent orchestration tools) etc. to deliver high-quality products rapidly." We need to turn into list items maybe each bullet? It's a long sentence with periods separating sections. We'll split by periods into list items. But we must preserve all info; we can keep as

  but they said use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. This is qualifications, so we should use list. We'll create
    with each qualification as
    • . Need to ensure we don't lose details. Let's split: - A bachelor's degree in computer science,
