About the role
We are seeking a Lead Software Engineer to join our AI Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) team and build the engineering backbone that scales AI-assisted development across 84.51° and Kroger. As AI workforce tooling matures and adoption grows from pilot teams to dozens of delivery teams, this role provides the systems and patterns that keep pace: deployment automation, standardized templates, and a prompt and skill marketplace that makes best practices discoverable and reusable at scale. This team is charged with re-inventing Software Developer for 84.51º and Kroger with AI at the forefront. This role provides an opportunity to shape how thousands of developers adopt AI within a large enterprise. Success means turning repeatable friction into platform infrastructure: authoring workflows, creating templates, and contributing plugins to internal marketplaces to shorten onramps and increase AI-assisted development velocity. This role spans the spectrum from hands-on automation engineering to cross-team enablement and requires someone who can both build systems and communicate their value across technical and non-technical audiences. This is a platform-focused, hands-on engineering role. You will be expected to both provide technical leadership and produce production-quality code, operating across DevOps, Developer Experience, and AI Enablement domains.
