## About the role

AI maturity is a prioritised target for Oda in 2026 — and will be the base off which we “re-found” Oda as an “AI mature” company in 2027 and beyond. We've already brought on a strong infrastructure engineer to build the technical core of our new AI Enablement Team.

## What they're looking for

- A track record of operating at a senior technical leadership level - staff/principal engineer, technical director, VP of engineering, or founder - where you set direction that led to impact rather than just executed someone else's roadmap
- Fluency moving between registers: you can whiteboard trade-offs with the executive team in the morning and be in an editor shipping working code in the afternoon. We need both, in the same person
- Real experience owning outcomes in front of leadership - presenting trade-offs, defending priorities, being accountable for a number, not just a delivery date
- Hands-on, current technical depth: comfortable with LLM APIs, prompt architecture, agent frameworks, and either low-code or full-code tools, well enough to build something real yourself, not just spec it for others
- Experience running programs, workshops, or communities across a mixed audience of technical and non-technical stakeholders
- High autonomy and the confidence to set direction in ambiguity - you're not waiting for someone to hand you a roadmap
