Requirements

Do you have experience in Team development?, We are seeking a visionary and hands-on Engineering Leader to pioneer and scale our AI-first development program. In this role, you will architect and lead a complete AI-first Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), transforming how we build, test, and deploy enterprise software. You will blend cutting-edge agentic AI engineering with robust cloud architecture; specifically driving a major platform migration from GCP to AWS. This is a strategic, high-impact leadership position designed for someone who knows how to move AI from a flashy proof-of-concept (POC) into robust, general availability (GA) production solutions., AI-First Software Development Leadership

  • Proven experience in architecting and leading a complete AI-first Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) process, specifically involving agentic development from code generation through testing and QA.
  • Demonstrated ability to utilize and maximize the efficiency of AI tools, such as Claude, to achieve significant acceleration in development velocity (e.g., >80% AI Code on critical projects).
  • Expertise in establishing an “AI Playbook” and “Fast Fail techniques and processes” to successfully transition AI-developed prototypes and demos into production-ready solutions (POC to GA).
  • Deep experience in developing agentic AI, including defining and building Agents, harnesses, and agent skill bundles to apply context on a platform.

Platform & Architecture Expertise (MCP & Cloud)

  • Direct experience developing and implementing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, ensuring data is exposed in a structured, evidence-citable, and auth-scoped way for consuming agents.
  • Strong background in platform consolidation and migration, specifically transitioning GCP workloads to a consolidated AI-first platform on AWS.
  • Deep technical knowledge of AWS Bedrock AgentCore and building robust guardrails.

Technical and Strategic Alignment

  • Ability to lead software teams covering the entire development process, from technical demos to general release, including multiple rounds of testing and QA.
  • Background in enterprise-scale software engineering, connected devices, and the fusion of proprietary wireless innovation (like BLE, GPS, LoRa) with AI/ML-driven location intelligence solutions.
  • Strategic leadership experience in a technology company serving the healthcare, automotive, or logistics sectors, focused on delivering real-time location data and intelligence.
  • Proven track record in optimizing SDLCs, managing team growth, and driving measurable outcomes that align with company strategy, such as consolidating platforms to enhance scalability and optimize costs.
