  • Define development frameworks, workflows, and best practices.

  • Collaborate with business stakeholders to convert needs into technical solutions.

  • Support AI-driven, data, and application development efforts.

  • Oversee the work of internal teams and third-party vendors.

  • Communicate project status, risks, and priorities effectively to leadership.

  • Balance speed, quality, and governance within a production setting.

Qualifications

  • Experience in Python development.

  • Familiarity with AI, data platforms, or analytics systems.

  • Background in building or supporting internal or enterprise tools.

  • Knowledge of code quality standards, linting, and security reviews.

  • Experience collaborating with non-technical business teams.
