ComputerConsumer ElectronicsElectronicsHardwareMobileWearables
Responsibilities
Lead major cross-functional engineering agile programs within AI Engineering (for example: new AI product lines, reliability/performance hardening, cross-device feature programs, technical migrations)
Work with functional leaders in Platform, Core Intelligence, Experience, Cloud, and SRE Delivery to define scope, milestones, technical dependencies, and integration points
Ensure programs move from prototype to production with clear gates, owners, and timelines, and that teams are set up for success from the beginning
Identify and unblock cross-team issues that threaten program delivery, drive decisions, and keep execution on track
Own the roadmap for engineering-facing tools that support developers and feature teams across AI Engineering (for example: engineering dashboards, debugging utilities, test harnesses, experimentation and telemetry views for engineers)
Work closely with engineering teams to understand their day-to-day friction points and prioritize tools that materially improve productivity and code quality
Ensure common tools and practices are adopted across teams so engineers have a consistent and efficient way of building, testing, and integrating features
Partner with SRE Delivery and Platform teams so engineering tools integrate well with our existing observability and infrastructure stack
Partner with security, IT, and commercial product stakeholders to ensure AI Engineering solutions can be adopted by business customers (CIO, CSO, IT organizations)
Translate commercial requirements such as security posture, deployment and configuration models, integration patterns, observability, manageability, identity and audit into concrete engineering programs and workstreams
Coordinate engineering readiness for commercial milestones (previews, pilots, general availability launches) and ensure the right technical checks and documentation are in place
Serve as a voice of the commercial customer within AI Engineering, making sure early-stage product decisions anticipate commercial adoption and not just consumer scenarios
Build and lead a small, high-impact team focused on engineering enablement across these three pillars
Collaborate closely with AI Engineering leadership (Platform, Core Intelligence, Experience, Cloud, SRE, TPM) to align programs and tools with their roadmaps and priorities
Partner with the broader PMO teams to align engineering plans with product and business timelines, while making sure engineering realities and risks are well understood
Communicate status, risks, and tradeoffs clearly to senior leadership, and help drive decisions when plans need to change
Qualification
Required
15+ years in software or AI engineering, with 10+ years in technical program leadership, engineering management, or equivalent roles
Experience leading complex, multi-team engineering programs from 0→1 and through scale (early-stage to growth-stage, or local to global)
Experience working with or around AI, platform, or distributed systems (you don't need to be an ML researcher, but you must be comfortable in deeply technical conversations)
Experience working across highly technical domains (infrastructure, AI systems, client engineering, SRE) and reason about dependencies and risks
25% - 50% travel, includes both domestic and global travel
Preferred
Experience improving how engineering teams build and ship: developer workflows, integration practices, test strategies, or tooling adoption
Familiarity with commercial / B2B or enterprise requirements (security, IT integration, deployment, manageability) is a strong plus
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; able to influence without direct authority and to align multiple teams around shared goals
