The ideal candidate combines technical depth with product thinking and customer empathy—ensuring that solutions are not only technically sound but also deliver tangible value to engineering teams.

- Integration into workflows: Connect AI solutions with CI/CD pipelines, IDEs, code review systems, and knowledge bases.
- Benchmarking: Continuously evaluate external AI tools, platforms, and practices to ensure we adopt the best-performing solutions.
- Lead by example: Demonstrate value through personal use of AI tools, recommending solutions based on real-world application.
- Adoption & iteration: Partner with engineering managers to encourage adoption, collect feedback, and iterate on solutions.
- Evaluate & integrate new tools: Research and pilot emerging AI tools, adopting those that measurably improve developer productivity.
