    This is an individual contributor leadership role with broad organizational influence.

    • Influence application architecture, design patterns, and engineering practices required for scalable AI adoption.
    • Help identify and deliver high-impact customer scenarios where AI can deliver measurable business value through automation, insights, and workflow acceleration.

    Productivity Transformation 

    Help transform Acumatica’s engineering lifecycle through effective adoption of modern AI-assisted development practices.

    • Stay at the forefront of industry trends, tooling, and best practices in AI-enabled software development.
    • Identify opportunities to improve productivity, engineering quality, and delivery efficiency using AI.
    • Drive adoption of modern engineering practices across BA, development, and QA teams.
    • Partner with engineering leaders to evolve how software is designed, built, tested, and maintained at scale.

    Additional Responsibilities 

    • Define and influence long-term AI and engineering transformation strategy across the company.
    • Evaluate emerging technologies, industry trends, and competitive movements to help shape Acumatica’s technical direction and investment priorities.
    • Collaborate with product and engineering leadership to align technical strategy with customer and business priorities.
    • Provide hands-on technical guidance, architectural leadership, and mentorship across teams.
    • Lead through influence by aligning stakeholders, building consensus, and driving execution across organizational boundaries.
    • Represent Acumatica externally with customers, partners, analysts, and at industry events and conferences.
    • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or related field. Advanced degree (MS or PhD) is a plus.
    • 15+ years of software engineering experience, including significant experience leading large-scale technical initiatives in SaaS or cloud-based enterprise software environments.
    • Proven experience delivering and productizing AI/ML capabilities in enterprise applications.
    • Strong enterprise application architecture experience with the ability to balance innovation, scalability, quality, reliability, and maintainability.
    • Experience driving engineering transformation initiatives, including modern software development practices and AI-assisted engineering workflows.
    • Demonstrated ability to influence across organizations, align senior stakeholders, and lead complex initiatives without direct authority.
    • Deep technical credibility with the ability to operate strategically while remaining hands-on when needed.
    • Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to align engineering, product, and executive stakeholders.
