What You’ll Actually Do

• Drive technical strategy across a multi-team engineering organization (50–150+ engineers), setting architectural standards, defining engineering excellence benchmarks, and personally reviewing and elevating the work.

• Own delivery at velocity. You ship. You are accountable for outcomes, not roadmaps. You hold your teams to the same standard.

• Proven AI platform ownership. You have deployed production AI systems - not POCs, not demos, not limited to prompt engineering. You understand model deployment pipelines, vector databases, RAG architectures, LLM orchestration, inference optimization, and responsible AI principles.
• Track record of engineering transformation. You have migrated monoliths to microservices, modernized legacy platforms under real business pressure, and lived the consequences of every architectural decision you’ve made.
