• Architect and lead our transition to an AI-first SDLC, embedding AI deeply into development workflows, product management, and technical project management to fundamentally elevate how we build. • Set the vision for AI across the organization, translating emerging technologies and platforms into practical, scalable advantage. • Institutionalize AI enablement across architecture, tooling, QA, and delivery practices so that AI becomes part of our operating system, not an experiment. • Lead two high-impact engineering teams through critical initiatives, including the migration of our telephony provider and a foundational AI-enabled sales platform that will shape the future of our business. • Operate as a strategic peer to Product leadership, shaping roadmaps, generating new ideas, and co-owning outcomes so engineering helps define direction rather than simply executing tickets. • Make disciplined, high-leverage build-versus-buy decisions that balance speed, cost, differentiation, and long-term platform strategy. • Lead and develop Directors, Engineering Managers, and Principal Engineers, building a leadership bench that scales with the business. • Raise the technical and operational bar while ensuring teams can execute independently at a high level. • Build an organization that fully embraces AI-assisted development and modern engineering practices. • Foster a culture that optimizes for experimentation, rapid iteration, ownership, and continuous learning. • Establish and reinforce architectural standards across Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, and AWS, enabling teams to build scalable, secure, and durable systems with confidence. • Stay at the forefront of AI and modern application development, bringing forward pragmatic innovation that drives measurable impact.
