- You have 7+ years of experience in software engineering, solution architecture, data engineering, or AI/ML delivery, including 2+ years managing engineers.
- You have led teams in a Forward Deployed Engineering, technical consulting, or heavily matrixed environment where talent is embedded in the business and still held to a central technical bar.
- You have defined, scaled, and maintained operational playbooks — intake standards, routing, and reusable delivery models — not just written a process doc.
- You can transform ambiguous processes (intake routing, priority rubrics, graduation gateways) into clear, repeatable frameworks that stick across teams.
- You have championed reusable assets, developer tooling (e.g. ADK/SDK patterns), and best practices that improve team-wide efficiency and long-term asset maintenance.
- You have owned operational governance across the delivery lifecycle, including compliance, cost telemetry (Cost of AI), and the path from prototype to production graduation.
- You have deep familiarity with modern LLM ecosystems, agentic workflows, and cloud data platforms (e.g. Databricks, Gemini, Claude, Cursor).
- You can evaluate business requests with discernment — distinguishing agile, low-effort optimization wins (days/weeks) from intensive initiatives that belong on a product roadmap (months/years).
- You have exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex AI paradigms into tangible operational value for non-technical stakeholders.
- You have experience measuring engineering ROI and managing vendor/licensing or infrastructure cost in a production environment.
We’d love it if you also had
- Experience rolling out an intake + routing model in a matrixed enterprise (what the team takes vs. routes to product, platform, or decline), with a visible backlog and an SLA on triage.
- Hands-on delivery of agents, automation, or internal platforms on Databricks, Gemini Enterprise, Claude, Airtable, and/or Cursor.
- Experience standing up a reuse path (starter kits, ADK/SDK, asset marketplace) and a written production-ownership / graduate-or-retire standard.
- Music, media, or entertainment industry experience, or prior work supporting functions such as Finance, HR, or creative/label operations.
- Comfort operating as a player-coach: close enough to the technical work to set standards, without needing to be the strongest coder on the team.
