Description

  • Build, coach, hire, and manage embedded engineers while maintaining alignment with central technical standards.

  • Champion reusable assets, developer tooling, and an internal asset marketplace with clear ownership and maintenance practices.
  • Set technical standards for AI agents and automation built on enterprise platforms such as Databricks, Gemini Enterprise, Claude, and Airtable.
  • Govern FDE deliveries across security, compliance, AI cost telemetry, and prototype-to-production or retirement lifecycle management.

  • Experience owning delivery governance, including compliance, AI cost telemetry, and prototype-to-production transitions.
  • Deep familiarity with LLM ecosystems, agentic workflows, and cloud data platforms, including Databricks, Gemini, Claude, and Cursor.
  • Ability to assess quick AI optimization opportunities versus larger initiatives requiring a product roadmap.
