Who You Are

Reporting to the Senior Manager, People Strategy Operations, the Senior AI Enablement Engineer, People, is a technical founder embedded within the People function.

You have a track record of shipping internal tools and AI-powered workflows that people actually use. You're as comfortable mapping a team’s AI gaps and designing a solution as you are vibe-coding a working prototype with an AI agent. You're insatiably curious and never satisfied with the status quo — you operate with urgency and agency, center the customer in every decision, and make every team you join better. You think in systems, move fast, and know how to bring people along without manufacturing consensus. You don’t need to come from HR. You need to care about building tools that make people’s work lives better.

This is a true engineering role. We are looking for someone with production experience shipping AI systems — not someone who uses AI tools, but someone who builds them. Senior here means senior by organizational reach and shipped impact, not by years of CS experience.
