• Solid software engineering foundation, including API design, backend service development, cloud‑native architecture, system integration, testing discipline, and maintainable code practices.
• Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous business problems into scoped AI and software solutions, and to communicate technical tradeoffs clearly to business and executive stakeholders.
• Strong people skills and product management ability to embed with business domain teams, learn their processes quickly, and imagine future‑state designs that replace legacy workflows with AI‑enabled solutions.
• Experience designing and implementing internal AI applications, workflow automation, or AI‑enabled business process solutions in enterprise environments.
• Proven experience driving multiple concurrent projects with engineers and cross‑functional contributors, including setting direction, managing execution, resolving blockers, and ensuring delivery accountability.

Preferred Qualifications
