Nice to Have
What Success Looks Like
-
Complex Feature/Epic Leadership: Leads complex features and epics through to delivery with a consistently low post-deployment defect rate.
-
AI-Accelerated Technical Design: Turns requirements into approved technical designs in a fraction of the time it used to take, using AI-assisted design and prototyping - the weeks-to-days compression this role is expected to drive for the pod.
-
Reusable IP & AltaForge Contribution: Ships or evolves reusable components into AltaForge or shared libraries that see strong adoption elsewhere - moving the AltaForge Clients and Same-Agent-Across-Clients north stars.
-
Mentorship Impact: Runs regular mentoring/pairing sessions with clear, visible skill growth in mentees.
-
Client Confidence: Leads technical discovery/SME sessions that consistently earn strong client satisfaction - supporting USD Revenue % and Recurring License Sales % where the engagement is US-based or license-oriented.
