Description
The role operates at the intersection of technology strategy, product discovery, domain‑driven design, and engineering execution, driving rapid experimentation, applied innovation, and technical excellence while respecting real‑world operational, security, and regulatory constraints. Success is measured by validated learning, speed‑to‑insight, and successful transition of ideas into core product organizations. The role is expected to be hands-on with 40% time dedicated to Software Development and the rest on the remaining responsibilities.

Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities
Innovation & Idea Incubation Leadership
- Own the end‑to‑end lifecycle of idea incubation from problem discovery and hypothesis framing to prototyping, validation, and graduation or termination.
- Establish repeatable incubation frameworks using design thinking, Lean Startup, and experiment‑driven development.
- Champion a culture of experimentation, learning velocity, and evidence‑based decision‑making in high‑ambiguity environments.




- Ensure early‑stage experimentation incorporates domain realities from Buildings, Security, and Industrial contexts, avoiding innovation that cannot transition to real deployments.

Technical & Architectural Leadership
- Provide technical direction across incubated initiatives, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, resilient, and production‑ready.
- Guide teams in selecting and applying emerging technologies including cloud‑native platforms, SaaS, AI/ML, GenAI, IoT, and edge computing.
- Ensure architectural decisions explicitly address non‑functional requirements such as availability, scalability, security, compliance, and operational resilience.
- Partner with Architecture and SRE leaders to ensure smooth transition of incubated solutions into enterprise‑scale delivery models and long‑lived product platforms.
