You will own team performance, delivery, and quality while partnering closely with business stakeholders and cross-functional IT groups. Beyond traditional delivery management, this role is expected to lead an AI-forward, quality-engineered, metrics-driven software organization - championing modern agile practice, automated testing, and the responsible adoption of AI-assisted and agentic development tooling to raise both velocity and quality. This position sits onsite 5 days a week in Grapevine, TX. What You'll Lead Delivery & Engineering Leadership * Establish and monitor project objectives, resource leveling, timelines, milestones, and deadlines, ensuring deliverables are met on schedule, accepted by customers, and transitioned smoothly to operational status. * Work with business partners to clarify, scope, and prioritize requests for enhancements and modifications. * Manage the full software development lifecycle and technical risks across all projects, inclusive of ongoing operational costs. * Ensure cross-functional communication and alignment across IT, security, product, and store-operations teams. * Identify opportunities for improvement, make constructive recommendations for change, and stay at the leading edge of evolving industry standards and practices. AI-Forward Engineering * Champion adoption of AI-assisted development and agentic tooling (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, LLM-based code review and test generation) across the team. * Establish governance, quality guardrails, and security controls so AI accelerates delivery without degrading code quality, IP integrity, or compliance. * Define productivity baselines and measure the real impact of AI tooling on throughput, quality, and developer experience. * Evaluate and pilot emerging AI/agentic capabilities for store-systems use cases, balancing innovation with operational risk. Quality & Test Automation * Own a shift-left quality strategy: automated unit, integration, and regression testing embedded directly in CI/CD pipelines. * Define and enforce coverage, reliability, and quality-gate thresholds; hold the line on quality as AI increases commit velocity. * Ensure all projects meet GameStop security requirements and automated testing standards prior to release. * Leverage AI-augmented test generation to expand coverage and catch edge cases without sacrificing speed. Agile Practice & Engineering Effectiveness * Act as a fluent agile practitioner and coach - facilitating Scrum/Kanban (or SAFe) practices, removing impediments, and driving continuous improvement. * Instrument and improve engineering effectiveness using DORA metrics (deployment frequency, lead time for change, change-failure rate, MTTR) and flow metrics (velocity, cycle time). * Create and sustain a work environment that balances entrepreneurial thinking with disciplined risk management. People Leadership * Demonstrate the core leadership behaviors expected at GameStop - strong results orientation, bias for action, high emotional intelligence, maturity, and professionalism. Foster a culture of constructive feedback, a high service mindset, and a commitment to respectful, inclusive, ethical collaboration. * Actively build the capability of others through relevant, timely, balanced feedback; coaching and teaching; encouraging mentoring relationships; and using recognition and rewards to reinforce desirable behaviors. * Coach, develop, retain, train, hire, and, when needed, discipline team members to build and maintain a high-performing team.
