Manager additional notes: A technically strong AI and software engineering resource who combines hands-on technical expertise with a delivery mindset. The role requires someone who can move fluidly between software development, data analysis, testing, stakeholder coordination, and project execution. The ideal candidate is adaptable, outcome-focused, and willing to step into whatever role is needed to move work forward and drive successful outcomes, rather than focusing exclusively on a single discipline.
