- Drive the company’s AI-for-development strategy, including evaluation, governance, rollout, and measurement of AI coding assistants and agentic software development tools.
- Partner with engineering leadership to co-own platform outcomes, shared OKRs, and adoption of paved-path development practices across all product teams.
- Define and track DevEx success metrics such as developer productivity, cycle time, deployment reliability, adoption rates, and AI leverage across engineering workflows.
- Translate developer pain points into prioritized, data-driven product bets through deep discovery with engineers, staff/principal engineers, EMs, and adjacent business stakeholders.
- Lead adoption strategy ensuring internal teams consistently choose standardized platforms and workflows that improve speed, quality, and scalability of software delivery.
