Job responsibilities

   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).

2. 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.
3. 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.
