We are looking for an
**AI Developer Coach** —a seasoned software engineer with strong coaching and mentoring instincts who can embed directly with engineering teams and guide them through process change.

This is not a role focused on building AI products or architecting AI systems.

The primary focus — especially at the outset — is hands-on coaching: working side-by-side with legacy engineers on the core engineering team to help them adopt new development processes in a practical, sustainable way.

The ideal candidate leads with empathy and patience, earns trust with experienced engineers, and knows how to make change stick through relationship-building rather than top-down directives.

Over time, this role will expand to include running Playwright-driven agentic sessions in support of internal client onboarding workflows.

You should be comfortable working closely with cross-functional teams — including engineers, TPMs, PMs, and QA — guiding them through process improvements, introducing pragmatic AI usage, and driving measurable impact.

New Role – The recruiting efforts for this position are intended to fill an existing vacancy for a new position.
