- Developing and sharing simple, actionable metrics and feedback approaches to help teams measure AI impact (e.g., % AI-generated artifacts, velocity gains, quality consistency, risk reduction).
- Consult with business units and technical leaders to strengthen execution and delivery predictability by:
- Advising on AI-augmented SDLC approaches that enable fast, reliable releases with substantial AI contribution.
- Recommending ways to incorporate cloud-native, DevSecOps, and SRE practices to support safe, scalable AI usage.

- AI-led code and test generation / automation
- Cloud-native architectures, microservices, containers, IaC, and observability
- Shift-left security, performance, and compliance in AI-driven workflows
- Consistent, AI-optimized SDLC pipelines, environments, and deployment patterns
- Lead and facilitate communities of practice and guilds (e.g., AI-Powered Development, Developer Experience, Testing & Quality, DevOps/Cloud Native, Architecture) to accelerate learning, share AI-first patterns and templates, and foster cross-team knowledge exchange while respecting business-unit autonomy.

- Develop and publish transparent Development Excellence scorecards and diagnostics (team, product, portfolio levels) to provide visibility into:
- AI adoption and value realized
- Throughput, predictability, flow efficiency, and delivery health
- Quality, resilience, technical debt, and modernization progress
- Developer experience and tooling effectiveness

Who We’re Looking For
- Ability to understand, promote, enable, and help operationalize the organization’s AI-centric engineering vision through consultative roadmaps, guidance, and practical enablement — while aligning to strategic direction set by senior leadership.

- Proven ability to influence adoption of new practices and tools across distributed, autonomous teams without direct authority.
- Expert coaching and advisory skills in AI-assisted development, prompt engineering, DevOps/cloud-native principles, and quality practices.
