Description

  • Partner with engineering leaders to translate developer productivity and AI strategy into executable programs.

  • Strong data-driven mindset with the ability to build meaningful productivity measurement systems.
  • Exceptional cross-functional communication and influence skills.
  • Experience leading organizational change and broad adoption across engineering teams.
  • Pragmatic, iterative approach to introducing structure without over-constraining teams.
  • Preferred: Experience leading developer productivity, platform engineering, infrastructure modernization, or AI tooling programs at large scale.

  • Preferred: Experience building adoption strategies for internal platforms or developer tools where trust, usability, and measurable value matter.
  • Preferred: Experience with cultural transformation or change management across engineering organizations.
  • Preferred: Familiarity with productivity frameworks such as DORA, SPACE, or similar multi-dimensional measurement approaches.
  • Preferred: Experience in fast-moving environments where technical strategy, organizational design, and execution mechanisms are evolving simultaneously.
