About Gen-e2

AI-First Product Engineering — Reinvented
While most still focus on AI-augmented delivery, we've taken a leap forward by reinventing the SDLC to be AI-First. Our method drives unmatched speed and engineering excellence:

• 95% of product assets are AI-generated — code, docs, infra, design
• Quality consistently outperforms traditional engineering teams
• Central product repository offers full project context for AI
• Prompt & rule libraries ensure enterprise-level scalability and security
• 2–3× faster delivery, without compromising excellence

Your Role

As an AI Software Architect, you will be at the forefront of AI-driven engineering — shaping the future of enterprise architecture, software design, and AI product delivery. You will lead multi-squad technical strategy, architect systems with AI-first principles, and build guardrails that ensure scalability, governance, and ethical practices.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define service boundaries and reference architectures aligned with SLOs, security policies, and cost-efficiency goals.
• Lead context engineering (functional and technical) across the product repository and maintain clarity through automated PR templates and documentation standards.
• Run risk/threat assessments and guide trade-offs across performance, privacy, sustainability, and security.
• Architect guardrails in CI/CD (PII redaction, license verification, policy gates).
• Design enablement programs across squads with maturity models and cadence-based assessments.
• Lead AI Mob sessions to refine prompts and generate shippable assets (code, infra, designs).
• Negotiate scope, risk posture, and governance strategies that support AI-first delivery.
• Orchestrate multi-team sessions to resolve dependencies and decisions with rapid facilitation techniques.
• Design change adoption plans with measurable KPIs and leading indicators.
• Run impact assessments (e.g., model bias, accessibility, data compliance) and define actionable mitigations.
• Continuously improve KPIs around energy efficiency, cloud cost, and accessibility.
• Lead controlled experiments, publish evidence-based playbooks, and scale best practices.
• Coach teams through ethical dilemmas, escalation paths, and AI safety principles.
• Serve as a single point of contact for tech sponsors across business and product teams.
• Mentor engineers and facilitators, while embedding standards and templates across squads.

Who You Are

• Proven experience designing and scaling complex, secure software architectures in cloud-native or AI-first environments
• Strong leadership in cross-functional coordination, stakeholder alignment, and facilitation
• Mastery of CI/CD, cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure), containerization, observability, and DevSecOps
• Experience designing secure-by-default systems, with strong privacy and compliance frameworks (PII, GDPR, etc.)
• Hands-on experience in AI engineering, ML Ops or integrating LLMs within digital products
• Data-informed: Skilled in defining success metrics, experimentation, and iteration
• Fluent in English and Spanish, with excellent communication and mentorship skills
• Passionate about sustainable digital transformation and ethical tech
