Job Description

StatusNeo is a global AI-native transformation firm helping enterprises design, engineer, and govern AI-led systems with trust at the core.

We work with global enterprises across BFSI, retail, healthcare, airlines, and platform-driven industries to transform how software is built, operated, and scaled in an AI-first world.

Our work is anchored in Authentic AI™ — an approach that treats AI not as a feature or experiment, but as a continuously evolving system that must be engineered with intent, accountability, and governance.

At StatusNeo, we don’t just talk about AI transformation.

We build it — across engineering platforms, AI-native SDLC, agentic systems, and enterprise operating models.

About This Role:

We are looking for a hands-on AI engineering expert and thought leader who lives and breathes building software with AI, not just talking about it.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, AI, consulting, and customer trust.

You will:

- Go deep inside customer engineering organizations

- Conduct AI Maturity Scans through structured interviews and hands-on assessments

- Evaluate how enterprises use AI in engineering, AI in SDLC, and agentic workflows

- Produce opinionated, actionable transformation roadmaps

- Personally influence CTOs, CIOs, Heads of Engineering, and Product Leaders

This is not a slideware role.

This is a builder-advisor role.

- Agentic systems adoption (multi-agent workflows, autonomy, orchestration)

- Identify gaps, anti-patterns, and missed opportunities

- Benchmark customers against best-in-class global practices

Opinionated Recommendations & Roadmaps

- Translate assessments into:
- Clear maturity scores

- Practical capability heatmaps

- Actionable 90-day / 6-month / 12-month roadmaps

- Recommend:

- Where AI should not be used

- Where agentic workflows create disproportionate ROI

- Tooling, platforms, architectures, and governance models

- Be comfortable saying “this is wrong” and “this is what good looks like”

Hands-on AI Engineering & Architecture

- Actively build and prototype:
- AI-assisted engineering workflows

- Agentic systems for SDLC, DevOps, SRE, and platform teams

- Hands-on with:

- LLMs, agent frameworks, orchestration layers

- AI-augmented coding, testing, CI/CD pipelines

- Secure, enterprise-grade AI architectures

Bridge code platform architecture
- outcomes

Customer-Facing Thought Leadership

- Act as a trusted advisor to CXO-level stakeholders

- Run workshops, deep-dives, and executive briefings

- Represent StatusNeo as an AI authority, not a vendor

- Partner with customers to co-create:




- AI strategy narratives

- Engineering transformation stories

- Comfortable being on the road, meeting customers globally

External & Internal Thought Leadership

- Write blogs, whitepapers, or internal playbooks

- Speak or aspire to speak at:
