• Build and refine custom agents, prompt libraries, and steering files based on pilot learnings and squad feedback
• Document ways of working, training materials, and the AI-SDLC playbook content in collaboration with the AI Architect
• Transition from embedded driver to coaching role during the Optimization & Expansion phase, guiding new squads through onboarding

• Hands-on experience with AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Amazon Q Developer ) in day-to-day development workflows
• Strong proficiency in modern web frameworks, RESTful APIs, and at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform)
