Responsibilities

• Partner with the CTO to create and implement a technology vision

• Partner with client relationship managers, executives, and project managers to ensure that customer maintenance, project development, and new customer implementation needs are aligned with team-resources and priorities.
• Own the rollout, adoption, and continuous evolution of OneRail's AI-augmented software development lifecycle — including agent-assisted coding, code review, PR readiness, and cross-pod coordination tooling — ensuring engineers across all pods are equipped, trained, and accountable for using these capabilities effectively
• Define and operationalize the metrics that measure AI-augmented delivery outcomes (e.g., throughput, change failure rate, review cycle time, agent-assisted PR quality, and developer leverage), and use those measurements to drive iteration on tooling, process, and pod-level practices
• Partner with the CTO and Release & Risk pod to evolve quality gates, governance, and guardrails as AI tooling expands across the SDLC, ensuring velocity gains do not come at the expense of reliability, security, or auditability
