This role sits at the intersection of product strategy, AI engineering, and business transformation. You will work closely with stakeholders to discover high-value opportunities, rapidly prototype AI-driven solutions, and evolve successful pilots into scalable enterprise platforms.

Unlike traditional engineering roles, you will operate as both a technical leader and trusted advisor, embedding with business teams to understand workflows, uncover inefficiencies, and drive measurable productivity improvements through AI and agentic systems.

Key Responsibilities

  • Partner directly with business leaders to identify productivity bottlenecks and growth opportunities.
  • Lead discovery workshops and translate ambiguous business challenges into AI solution roadmaps.
  • Design, prototype, and deploy Enterprise AI assistants, copilots, and agentic workflows.
  • Build proof-of-concepts and rapidly validate business value.
  • Collaborate with platform teams to productize successful solutions using shared enterprise platforms.
  • Define evaluation frameworks, KPIs, and success metrics for AI initiatives.
  • Guide stakeholders on AI adoption, operationalization, governance, and responsible AI practices.
  • Drive reusable patterns across AI productivity, knowledge management, customer support, engineering effectiveness, and enterprise operations.

Required Qualifications

  • 10+ years of engineering experience delivering complex software, data, and AI solutions in enterprise environments.
  • Demonstrated experience designing, building, and deploying AI-enabled business solutions using Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), semantic search, and agentic workflows.
  • Strong software engineering background spanning cloud-native architectures, APIs, microservices, distributed systems, data pipelines, and enterprise integrations.
  • Experience developing AI copilots, assistants, workflow automation, and productivity solutions that drive measurable business outcomes.
  • Experience establishing evaluation frameworks, observability, experimentation, and performance metrics for AI systems.
  • Ability to rapidly prototype solutions, validate business value, and scale successful pilots into production-grade platforms.
  • Experience working directly with business stakeholders to translate ambiguous challenges into technical solutions and strategic roadmaps.
  • Strong communication, storytelling, and executive presentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with multi-agent systems, agent orchestration, MCP-based integrations, knowledge graphs, and enterprise search.
  • Hands-on experience with modern AI platforms and cloud ecosystems including Microsoft CoPilot Studio, AWS Bedrock and vector database technologies.
  • Experience building reusable platform capabilities, SDKs, shared services, and architectural patterns that accelerate enterprise-wide adoption.
  • Knowledge of Responsible AI, AI governance, security, and compliance requirements.
  • Experience with product analytics, telemetry, experimentation, and AI observability platforms.
  • Background spanning multiple engineering disciplines including software, data, AI/ML, cloud infrastructure, and platform engineering.
