Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Design, execute, and measure AI-Native software development and quality engineering experiments to improve productivity, quality, speed, developer experience, and release confidence.
• Identify engineering bottlenecks where AI-Native workflows—such as AI-assisted coding, agentic workflows, and automated testing—can enhance software delivery outcomes.
• Evaluate emerging AI engineering tools including coding assistants, AI-enabled IDEs, test generation platforms, code review assistants, documentation tools, and developer productivity platforms.
• Develop and institutionalize AI-Native standards for development, testing, code review, documentation, refactoring, debugging, and delivery processes across engineering teams.
• Define and maintain engineering quality bars, operating standards, usage guardrails, workflow templates, and best practices for AI-assisted software development.
• Create AI-Native quality engineering practices that improve test automation, regression prevention, validation, code review, quality gates, and production readiness.
• Establish balanced metrics and measurement frameworks for engineering productivity, quality, cycle time, developer experience, adoption rates, and business impact.
• Analyze experimental results to determine whether AI-Native practices should be adopted, modified, scaled, or retired based on data-driven outcomes.
• Create playbooks, frameworks, operating models, and enablement materials to turn successful experiments into repeatable, organization-wide practices.
• Coach engineers and engineering leaders to maximize effectiveness through AI-assisted development, agentic workflows, quality engineering, and human-AI collaboration.
• Drive organization-wide adoption of proven AI-Native engineering practices through coaching, enablement, influence, measurement, and continuous feedback loops.
• Define safe and responsible practices for AI-generated code, AI-assisted testing, tool usage, data exposure, intellectual property protection, security, maintainability, and human review.
• Partner with engineering, product, QA, security, DevOps, platform, and executive leadership to align AI-Native transformation efforts with business priorities.
• Continuously improve software development, QA, automation, CI/CD, DevOps, cloud engineering, observability, security, and delivery processes using AI-Native approaches.
• Develop strategic recommendations for the future evolution of software engineering at Sparkrock, focusing on sustainable, high-impact AI integration.
• Ensure all AI-Native practices preserve quality, maintainability, security, reliability, and human accountability while enhancing engineering outcomes.
• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders through written, verbal, and presentation formats.
• Influence technical and organizational decisions across all levels of the engineering organization, from individual contributors to executives.
• Differentiate durable engineering value from short-lived AI hype by grounding decisions in empirical evidence and long-term system health.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8+ years of hands-on software engineering experience delivering production software systems.
• Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools, coding assistants, coding agents, AI-enabled IDEs, AI-powered testing, AI-supported code review, or agentic software development workflows in real engineering environments.
• Experience leading engineering transformation, engineering excellence, developer productivity, quality engineering, platform engineering, technical enablement, or software development process improvement initiatives.
• Experience designing, executing, measuring, and scaling experiments that improve engineering productivity, quality, developer experience, or delivery outcomes.
• Strong understanding of modern software engineering, software quality engineering, testing strategies, automation, CI/CD, DevOps, cloud-native development, observability, security, and developer productivity practices.

🏖️ Benefits

• Access to leading AI engineering tools, platforms, and technologies, with the freedom to experiment, evaluate, and shape how they are adopted across the organization.
• We are 100% remote and global. Live your best life wherever that may be, and never lose out on career opportunities because of it.
• Flexible work hours. We work asynchronously and don’t care when you’re online, just that you deliver great results and are there for our customers.
