Lead AI Software Engineer

Lead AI Software Engineer

What you will do

• Lead build execution within a squad, platform capability, or engineering domain.
• Translate specifications, designs, and architectural intent into clear implementation plans and verifiable engineering tasks.
• Decompose solution designs into small, sequenced, testable delivery increments.
• Guide engineers and AI coding agents through implementation, validation, and release activities.
• Deliver and oversee complex, high-risk, or business-critical software components.
• Review AI-generated and engineer-written code to ensure correctness, maintainability, security, and alignment with specifications.
• Drive engineering excellence through automated testing, contract testing, regression testing, observability, and production verification.
• Support CI/CD processes, deployment readiness, operational handover, runbooks, and service ownership.
• Ensure AI-generated outputs are explainable, traceable, secure, and compliant with engineering standards.
• Escalate architectural ambiguity, cross-domain risks, and decisions beyond agreed engineering guardrails.
• Identify recurring engineering or AI-agent delivery issues and transform them into improved controls, guidance, and quality practices.
• Coach engineers on AI-native software engineering, implementation planning, code review, testing practices, and responsible AI usage.
