About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead the adoption of AI-augmented development workflows across the engineering organization, fundamentally increasing what the team can ship and how fast they can ship it
Mentor engineers, product managers, designers, and business operators in new ways of working, making AI fluency a core competency across the org, not just a tooling layer for a few
Build on the team’s existing foundation of modern tooling, agile practices, and continuous delivery to foster a culture of continuous experimentation where the team is always testing what’s newly possible and incorporating it into how they work
Assess which elements of our platform represent durable competitive advantages and which are at risk of being commoditized or disrupted by AI
In close partnership with the CPO, develop a technical strategy for the agentic future: how our platform should work when users discover, research, and transact through AI agents and intermediaries rather than traditional interfaces
Identify where we are underinvested, in data, infrastructure, APIs, or capabilities, and build the roadmap to close those gaps
Ensure our architecture is modular and adaptable, designed to evolve quickly as both the business and the underlying technology landscape change
Unify two legacy technology platforms into a coherent, modern architecture that serves both brands and all customer segments
Own the company’s security and infrastructure posture as AI tooling and agentic product surfaces introduce new categories of risk and complexity

Requirements

What you’ll need

You've led engineering organizations through periods of significant change: post-acquisition integration, rapid scaling, or fundamental retooling, and you have the judgment that comes from having done it, not just studied it
You have real, hands-on experience integrating AI into engineering workflows and are a strong enough technical architect to evaluate whether a solution, AI-generated or otherwise, is elegant or a mess, and explain why to both technical and non-technical audiences
You bias toward speed. You know how to set an aggressive tempo, clear the obstacles that slow teams down, and create a culture where shipping is the default, not the exception
You bring a sense of urgency to the work. You don't let decisions linger, you don't let projects drift, and you hold yourself and your teams to a standard that's obvious to everyone around you
You think critically about moats and defensibility, and you connect engineering investments to business outcomes. You're comfortable in conversations about revenue, margin, and growth
You take security and infrastructure seriously, particularly as AI introduces new categories of risk across development and product surfaces
