Duties:

AI Developer Productivity \& Engineering Intelligence

• Help us prove not just assume that AI makes engineering faster and better.
• AI is widely adopted across our engineering teams. Now we're building the systems to measure its real impact on speed, quality, and reliability with guardrails.

• Deliver a unified dashboard (team-level metrics only \— no individual ranking)
• Establish privacy-conscious governance standards
