Leading across product groups and the service line, you will stay hands-on in your craft-shaping architecture, integration, design, and code-while driving the standards and enterprise reference architectures that engineers build against.

Your leadership will be pivotal in delivering tangible value across the service line's product and AI investments, aligning technical solutions with business and technology strategy, and advancing Applied AI engineering across the organization.

You will bring extensive engineering craftsmanship and deep expertise across software and data engineering, enterprise and integration architecture, and AI/ML and GenAI, together with an exemplary track record of high-quality, outcome-focused delivery at scale.

The ideal candidate is a role-model engineering leader who leads by doing -owning strategy, elevating standards, developing engineers and emerging leaders, and building trusted relationships with stakeholders from engineering teams to senior executives and service-line leadership.
