Embed AI into developer workflows (e.g., design, coding, testing, documentation, support) to improve speed and quality.
• Team & Talent Leadership: Lead and grow high-performing, inclusive development teams across onshore, offshore, and hybrid models. Set clear goals, assign work, manage performance, and conduct career development discussions. Coach teams to balance delivery excellence with innovation, leveraging AI as a force multiplier. Foster a culture of continuous learning, experimentation, and psychological safety. Coordinate closely with DevOps, Architecture, InfoSec, Data, and Platform teams. Create and maintain technical and AI roadmaps aligned with product and business strategy.
