• Experience defining AI coding standards, engineering guidelines or governance practices.

• Experience leading AI transformation or AI adoption within a software engineering organization.

What We Are Looking For

• A hands-on practitioner who actively uses AI in software development, rather than someone with only

theoretical AI knowledge.

• A technical leader who can turn AI experimentation into practical, repeatable engineering practices.

• Someone who proactively identifies opportunities and constructively challenges existing ways of working.

• A strong mentor who can influence experienced engineers and develop less-experienced developers.

• A pragmatic engineer who balances innovation with quality, security, maintainability and business value.

• Recent practical AI experience is more significant than simply having many years of AI/ML experience.
