  • Lead architecture reviews and engineering governance, ensuring teams follow agreed patterns and resolve deviations deliberately.
  • Partner directly with senior client stakeholders to clarify requirements, explain trade-offs, manage technical risk, and align roadmaps and investment decisions.
  • Provide delivery leadership across estimates, scope, staffing, dependencies, release planning, quality, and escalation management.
  • Guide implementation through design reviews, code reviews, prototypes, and hands-on technical intervention when required.
  • Mentor technical leads and senior engineers, build architecture capability, and strengthen engineering practices across teams.
  • Support pursuits by shaping solutions, estimating delivery, defining team models, and presenting technical approaches to clients.
  • Drive responsible adoption of AI-assisted engineering and GenAI product capabilities with appropriate controls for security, privacy, testing, and maintainability.
