• Work with CFB leadership and internal partners to implement baseline people management practices, including hiring, performance management, career development, feedback, evaluation and retention strategies that attract and retain engineering talent in the public sector.
• Foster an engineering culture that prioritizes collaborative problem-solving, knowledge-sharing, accountability, and continuous improvement across technical teams and agency-wide partnerships.
• In partnership with the Senior Director of Product, work with CFB leadership and internal partners to expand knowledge, engagement and comfort with the software development lifecycle, agile processes and product thinking, to ensure a balanced mixture of maintenance and stability, quality-of-life improvements and ambitious experimentation and innovation.

• Develop and maintain a multiyear technical roadmap that aligns engineering work with the agency's product roadmap, digital priorities, and modernization goals.
• Establish, document, and enforce engineering standards, including coding standards, branching strategy, security policies, compliance requirements, and architecture review practices.
• Evaluate emerging technologies (including cloud-based solutions, open-source tools, and AI applications) and recommend adoption decisions appropriate to public-sector cost, risk, and capability constraints.
• Develop and maintain a standard tracking system and reporting standards to track delivery flow, predictability, quality, and end-to-end traceability.
• Lead the agency's software development and quality assurance functions, including supervision of engineering managers.
• Own the software development lifecycle, DevOps, and CI/CD pipelines. Drive agile delivery practices in coordination with product leadership.
• Own the technical implementation of AI use cases (building, integrating, and operating models in production as software delivery) and the technical evaluation of whether a model performs against the data provided (capability, accuracy, latency, cost, and technical security).
• Manage technical debt proactively and make sound architecture decisions.
