Full Job Description
Description

This is a Global/Remote-First opportunity at Associate Vice President/ Vice President level.

Requirements
  • Engineering Pedigree: 15+ years in software engineering, with at least 5 years in senior leadership roles overseeing large-scale (1,000+ person) organizations.
  • AI Fluency: Deep understanding of the LLM landscape, RAG architectures, and the emerging field of AI Agents (AutoGPT, LangChain, etc.).
    The "Services" Mindset: Experience in a global professional services or consulting firm is highly preferred. You understand the nuances of billable efficiency and client-facing delivery.
  • Architectural Vision: Ability to distinguish between "hype" and sustainable engineering practices. You know when to use an agent and when a simple script (or a human) is better.
  • Communication: Exceptional ability to translate complex technical shifts into a compelling value proposition for C-suite clients.
  • Collaboration: Ability to collaborate across timezones, cultures and teams. Work internally across our delivery organizations and CTO organizations to accelerate value delivery and adoption.

Job responsibilities
  • Strategy & Governance
    Define the AI-Augmented SDLC: Establish the gold standard for how AI-from LLM-assisted coding to autonomous agents-is integrated into every phase of the lifecycle (Discovery, Design, Dev, Test, Deploy).
    Policy & Ethics: Define guardrails for AI usage, including IP protection, security vulnerability scanning for AI-generated code, and bias mitigation.
  • Tooling & Platform Engineering
    The AI Workbench: Oversee the selection and rollout of tools (e.g., GlobalLogic's VelocityAI SDLC, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, internal LLM gateways, and automated PR review agents).
    Agentic Workflows: Design and implement "Agentic" practices where autonomous AI agents handle routine tasks like documentation, unit test generation, and legacy code refactoring.
  • Global Enablement & Coaching
    Change Management: Lead the cultural shift across global delivery centers, moving teams away from manual toil toward high-leverage engineering.
    Client Advisory: Partner with client-side stakeholders to co-create AI roadmaps, reassuring them of the quality and security of AI-accelerated delivery.
  • Metrics & ROI
    Establish KPIs to measure the impact of AI on engineering velocity, code quality, and developer experience (DevEx).
    Report directly to executive leadership on the ROI of CoE initiatives.
