Job Description
Role - AI evangelist
Experience Required - 10+ Years
Must Have Technical/Functional Skills
* Deep understanding of the full PDLC, from ideation and requirements through design, development, testing, security, deployment, and operations, including where AI can meaningfully augment each stage.
* Strong working knowledge of modern AI tooling, particularly generative AI assistants, automation frameworks, developer assistances (e.g. GHCP, Claude Code), and current / emerging best practices, with the ability to evaluate and adopt tools pragmatically rather
than by vendor alignment.
* Solid grounding in responsible AI, including data privacy, security, model risk management, and ethical principles, with experience embedding governance and compliance controls directly into delivery workflows.
* Familiarity with defining and tracking metrics to measure AI impact on engineering and product outcomes, such as cycle time, defect rates, test coverage, and operational stability.
Roles & Responsibilities
* Ability to embed directly with teams and coach through hands-on application, working shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers, product managers, and QA to apply AI in real scenarios.
* Ability to define and operationalize AI standards, patterns, and best practices, including usage guidelines, prompt conventions, reference architectures, and reusable templates.
* Proven capability to design and deliver enablement programs, including playbooks, training materials, workshops, and hands-on coaching that translate AI concepts into practical day-to-day application.
* Technical proficiency in integrating AI solutions into existing toolchains, such as IDEs, CI/CD pipelines, testing frameworks, and monitoring platforms, including rapid prototyping to demonstrate value.
* Strong communication and change leadership skills, with the ability to influence executives and earn credibility with engineering and product teams, addressing concerns and driving adoption through visible outcomes.
Abilities
* Strategic thinker who can define a phased roadmap for AI adoption across the PDLC that aligns with business objectives and ties each initiative to clear value.
* Strong cross-functional influencer capable of bridging product, engineering, devops, security, and compliance, ensuring AI improvements are coordinated rather than siloed.
* Systems-oriented problem solver who can redesign workflows to fully leverage AI capabilities, not simply automate existing steps.
* Outcome-focused and adaptable leader who drives toward measurable results while maintaining quality, safety, and compliance, and continuously refines approaches based on feedback and data.
About You Experience
* Ten or more years of experience in software development, platform engineering, or technology consulting, with significant exposure to AI-enabled or DevOps-driven transformation initiatives.
* Demonstrated success working in large, complex, and regulated enterprise environments, with hands-on experience navigating governance, security, and compliance constraints.
* Prior experience acting as a change agent, program lead, consultant, or internal champion, influencing teams without formal authority and engaging both senior leaders and delivery teams.
* History of building repeatable assets such as playbooks, toolkits, templates, or referenc e models that scale beyond individual teams and reduce dependency on ongoing staff augmentation. Outcomes
* Tangible examples of AI-driven improvements you personally helped teams achieve, such as reduced cycle time, improved product quality, increased test coverage, or reduced operational toil.
* Clear evidence of measurable delivery impact from prior AI initiatives, such as reduced development cycle time, increased test automation and coverage, improved production stability, or reduced operational toil.
* Proven ability to translate experimentation into sustainable capability by leaving behind reusable patterns, standards, and self-sustaining practices.
* Track record of helping organizations adopt AI responsibly, balancing speed with risk mitigation and embedding controls rather than treating governance as a separate gate. Proven ability to leave behind self-sustaining capabilities, not dependency, by turning experimentation into repeatable, well-documented patterns.
