This role focuses on embedding AI across the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to improve developer productivity, enhance code quality, and reduce manual effort. The expectation is not limited to AI-assisted coding, but to systematically integrate AI across planning, development, testing, and release workflows, while establishing consistent and reusable engineering practices.

Key Responsibilities

- Leverage AI-assisted tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, code agents) as an integral part of engineering workflows, not as isolated accelerators.
- Apply AI across the end-to-end SDLC (planning coding testing deployment) to improve speed, quality, and consistency of delivery.
- Drive adoption of AI beyond development into areas such as:
- Requirement understanding and design support
- Test generation and validation
- Code review and defect detection
- Design and implement AI-driven workflows that reduce manual steps, minimize rework, and improve overall engineering efficiency.

- Establish and scale standardized, reusable patterns, including:

- Prompt frameworks
- Coding and design accelerators
- AI-enabled development workflows

- Ensure consistent, high-quality code output across teams, independent of individual developer variability, improving maintainability and adherence to enterprise standards.
- Use AI to enhance quality engineering practices,



including:

- Increasing test coverage
- Enabling early defect identification
- Supporting structured and consistent code reviews

- Enable context-aware development, leveraging codebase, documentation, and work item context (tickets, user stories) to drive more accurate and aligned implementations.
- Reduce context gaps and inefficiencies, improving developer decision-making, productivity, and alignment to business and architectural intent.

Requirements

What This Role Specifically Emphasizes
