• Stay current with emerging technologies and drive the adoption of tools and practices that

enhance productivity and system performance.

• Coordinate with US-based engineering leadership on priorities, sprint planning, and cross-team

dependencies.

• Drive adoption of AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, AI code assistants, AI-driven

testing) across the team to accelerate velocity, improve code quality, and embed an AI-native

SDLC mindset as standard engineering practice.
