Measures of Success

The speed of the team (Flow Time), DP1M, and progressing teams through milestones in the AI-Driven Teams Maturity Model.

Responsibilities

• Accountable to teams advancing through the AI-Driven Teams Maturity Model, hitting Standardized, Optimized, and Autonomized milestones on an ambitious timeline.
• Experiments hands-on with orchestration of AI-powered processes and automations.
• Documents proven workflows in the Agentic Engineering Playbook; creating a force multiplier through adoption by other teams.
• Leads deep dives to map value stream (FLOW) through Discovery and Delivery, with outputs informing high-impact, AI-powered system optimizations.
• Defines and uses agentic definitions such as Ready-for-Agent through context: requirements, Client needs, business processes, relevant repos, constraints, test expectations, and acceptance criteria.
• Proactively surfaces early signals to OKR risks through AI-powered insights
• Scope: Focused and hands-on with approximately 2 teams at a time.

You Might Thrive In This Role If

• You’re energized by building AI-forward systems that enable crew to scale their Client impact (tooling + workflow definitions + automation + measurement)
• You’ve demonstrated your interest in AI-process transformation in your current work
• Deeply technical and adept at reasoning about engineering workflows and systems (repos, CI/CD, quality gates, observability, security) and translate goals into concrete system changes.
• You can apply AI through techniques that go beyond ad-hoc prompting, applying concepts such as context engineering, MCP, and multi-agent workflows.
• You embrace ambiguity and convert it to concrete artifacts quickly: processes, training plans, common agentic definitions, etc.
• You execute with “Client zeal”, building appropriate business acumen to anchor work in Client-centricity and delivery of epic Client outcomes

This Role Is Not

• A facilitation role. It is not responsible for running ceremonies or providing general team coaching.
• An observer. This role is actionable and hands-on, shipping improvements in tooling, automation, and process, and that materially drive outcomes.
