Résumé du poste

Grove Talent is seeking a senior software engineering leader to drive AI adoption across a global software group. You will embed in portfolio businesses, modernise legacy systems, and implement AI-accelerated workflows.

In this remote, multi‑business role, you’ll coach engineering teams, shape AI standards, and spread playbooks across the group with high impact and ongoing opportunities every few months.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Experience using AI coding tools to speed up delivery across the SDLC.
• Experience rolling out AI-assisted development beyond your own team, such as coaching, workshops or shared workflows.
• Experience in a lead role, guiding teams or driving technical initiatives.
• A track record of driving change across a business, bringing engineers and stakeholders with you.
• Sound judgement on AI quality, testing, review and guardrails.
• The confidence to earn trust quickly with both engineers and business leaders.

Responsabilités

• Embed in a portfolio business for up to 6 months at a time, identifying bottlenecks and fixing them hands-on.
• Modernise legacy systems and bring AI-accelerated workflows into everyday engineering with tools like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.
• Look beyond the code to spot bottlenecks in process, product or communication and help teams fix them.
• Coach engineering teams and work with leadership so AI-first ways of working stick after you’ve moved on.
• Move on to the next business, refining a playbook that spreads across the group.
• Share learnings with the wider team to shape the group’s AI engineering standards.
