Key Responsibilities
AI-First Solution Design

- Champion the integration of Copado AI features into every phase of the solution design lifecycle.
- Drive a measurable 20% reduction in Time-to-Value for custom Lab implementations by leveraging AI to automate manual configuration steps.

- Define and enforce architectural best practices, coding standards, and solution governance frameworks.

Collaboration & Culture
- Foster a culture of trust, respectful collaboration, and continuous improvement within the Copado Labs team.
- Mentor engineers and consultants, elevating the technical capability of the broader team.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to align custom solutions with platform direction.
