• Turn proven AI patterns into reusable engineering standards covering prompting, evaluation, AI-assisted code review, agentic delegation, and responsible AI guardrails.
• Define success measures and connect skill and behavior changes with usage, delivery, capacity, speed, and quality data.
• Mentor senior and principal engineers and scale AI-native practices through champion, lab-leader, and train-the-trainer models.
• Partner with Developer Experience, Learning and Development, AI platform, and business-unit technology leaders while operating AI/ML-enabled solutions.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent related professional experience.

• Hands-on experience building, deploying, or operating AI-enabled systems, tools, agents, or workflows and applying AI/ML concepts to real-world products or engineering work.
• Experience teaching engineers at scale through curricula, workshops, labs, documentation, or developer education that measurably changed how teams build.
• Experience establishing engineering standards or practices adopted across multiple teams or organizations.

Nice to have
