  • Define and scale AI-assisted development practices (Cursor, Windsurf, agent frameworks)
  • Partner closely with delivery teams to understand friction points and build solutions that drive adoption
• Build Investment Cases & Drive Strategic Alignment
  • Develop compelling business cases for technology investments in agentic systems and AI infrastructure
  • Quantify impact through metrics like delivery time reduction, quality improvements, and team velocity gains
  • Communicate technical strategy and ROI to senior leadership and stakeholders
  • Influence resource allocation and prioritization across competing initiatives
  • Translate technical capabilities into business value that resonates with non-technical audiences
• Provide Technical & Architectural Leadership
  • Set architectural direction for agentic systems, accelerators, and shared AI services
  • Ensure systems are modular, secure, observable, and production-ready
  • Uphold strong engineering discipline while balancing innovation and pragmatism
  • Provide hands-on guidance to Senior and Staff engineers when needed
  • Define standards across Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, testing, CI/CD, and MLOps
  • Build and Scale the Team
    • Hire, develop, and retain AI engineers

  • Lead Cross-Functionally
    • Act as a trusted partner to delivery teams, Product, Design, and Data leadership
    • Translate business strategy into executable technical plans
    • Communicate tradeoffs, progress, and impact to senior leaders with clarity and conviction
    • Influence effectively in a matrixed organization where adoption matters as much as technical execution
    • Build coalitions and drive alignment across stakeholders with competing priorities

• Strong software architecture and technical judgment
• Track record of improving delivery velocity and engineering maturity through platform or tooling investments
• Pioneered ability to build investment cases and secure buy-in for technology initiatives
• Strong influential communication skills—ability to communicate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Experience with modern AI stacks, including LLMs, agent frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph), and ML platforms
• Demonstrated hands-on experience building with modern AI technologies (LLMs, agents, RAG systems, evaluation frameworks, etc.) through production systems, prototypes, or personal experimentation
• Strong Python experience; familiarity with JavaScript and TypeScript
• Experience with Databricks, MLflow, and modern data platforms
