About the Role:
We are seeking a seasoned engineering leader for our product development team, passionate about leveraging AI to shape the future of our industry. This role is dual-focused: providing robust support for our existing core payroll products while proactively advancing the incorporation of AI throughout our entire product portfolio and Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). You will be a crucial driver in instilling an AI-native approach at every stage of development. You will lead a significant change in our shared services groups, like DevOps and Quality Assurance. The goal is to support our engineers more actively. You will also act as strategic partners, not just as a team that processes outputs. The ideal candidate will be an "activator," bringing execution rigor and vision to champion truly innovative, smart features and core capabilities through machine learning and generative AI. Your leadership will be integral to our company's growth, ensuring AI is a fundamental component of our product differentiation.
