Location : Chicago IL, California, NC, SC, West Virginia, Maryland, DC, Ohio, Michigan

Client : Value Labs

Role Summary:

We are looking for a high-caliber Product Engineering Leader to be embedded onsite with our client.

This is not a coordinator role. This is a builder’s role.

You will work at the intersection of Business, Product, and Engineering – shaping ideas, architecting scalable solutions, and driving flawless execution. You will operate across technology stacks, leverage Agentic AI capabilities, and ensure delivery excellence from concept to production.

What You Will Do:

• Partner directly with client leadership to identify opportunities and shape solution pathways
• Translate business outcomes into scalable product and system architecture
• Architect and build enterprise‑grade applications across .NET, Java, or similar stacks
• Embed Agentic AI capabilities into workflows, products, and operational systems
• Own end‑to‑end PDLC/SDLC execution with strong governance and best practices
• Drive delivery rigor: scope clarity, design discipline, engineering quality, and release excellence
• Mentor teams and elevate engineering standards
• Act as the single accountable leader onsite to “make it happen”

What We Are Looking For:

Business + Product + Engineering Depth

• Strong ability to connect business goals with product design and technical architecture
• Experience shaping MVPs, scaling platforms, and modernizing legacy systems

Hands‑on Engineering Strength

• Proven experience in enterprise application development (.NET, Java, or similar ecosystems)
• Strong understanding of architecture patterns, microservices, APIs, cloud‑native systems
• Deep knowledge of SDLC/PDLC best practices and delivery governance

Agentic AI Capability

• Practical experience using LLMs and Agentic AI frameworks in production environments
• Ability to design AI‑augmented workflows and intelligent automation systems
• Understanding of orchestration, guardrails, observability, and evaluation

Execution Track Record

• Demonstrated success delivering complex transformation programs
• Experience working onsite with enterprise clients
• Strong ownership mindset with measurable delivery impact

Leadership & Communication

• Exceptional communication skills – structured, clear, and executive‑ready
• Ability to influence stakeholders across CXO, product, and engineering levels
• High energy, accountability, and a bias for action

What Success Looks Like

• Ideas converted into production‑grade solutions
• Agentic AI embedded meaningfully – not as experimentation, but as value creation
• Clean architecture. Predictable delivery. High‑quality releases.
• Client confidence and trust built through clarity and execution discipline
