Success is measured by validated learning, speed-to-insight, and successful transition of ideas into core product organizations. The role is expected to be hands-on with 40% time dedicated to Software Development and the rest on the remaining responsibilities.\nKey Responsibilities\nInnovation & Idea Incubation Leadership\nOwn the end-to-end lifecycle of idea incubation from problem discovery and hypothesis framing to prototyping, validation, and graduation or termination.\nEstablish repeatable incubation frameworks using design thinking, Lean Startup, and experiment-driven development.\nChampion a culture of experimentation, learning velocity, and evidence-based decision-making in high-ambiguity environments.\nEnsure early-stage experimentation incorporates domain realities from Buildings, Security, and Industrial contexts, avoiding innovation that cannot transition to real deployments.\nTechnical & Architectural Leadership\nProvide technical direction across incubated initiatives, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, resilient, and production-ready.\nGuide teams in selecting and applying emerging technologies including cloud-native platforms, SaaS, AI/ML, GenAI, IoT, and edge computing.\nEnsure architectural decisions explicitly address non-functional requirements such as availability, scalability, security, compliance, and operational resilience.\nPartner with Architecture and SRE leaders to ensure smooth transition of incubated solutions into enterprise-scale delivery models and long-lived product platforms.\nAI SDLC + SW Engineering Skills\nEnd-to-End AI Lifecycle : Data → model → deployment → monitoring\nMLOps / LLMOps + CI/CD : Pipelines, versioning, automated deploy & testing\nData & Model Engineering: Data pipelines + LLMs/RAG + model optimization\nSoftware Engineering Fundamentals:\nAPI design, microservices\nClean code, testing\nSystem design\nCloud-native Architecture: Kubernetes, Docker, scalable AI services\nDomain-Driven Engineering Leadership\nEnsure engineering teams deeply understand and design for domain-specific constraints and requirements, including: Buildings (commercial buildings, campuses, multi-site operations, 24×7 uptime expectations)\n Security (cybersecurity, privacy, regulatory compliance, secure-by-design principles)\n Industrial / OT (manufacturing, process industries, legacy systems, safety-critical environments)\n\nDrive domain-driven design practices so incubated solutions reflect real operational workflows, asset models, and system boundaries.\nValidate that domain requirements are explicitly captured and tested during incubation, not deferred to later product teams.\nBuildings Domain Knowledge\nHas led engineering innovation for software platforms that integrate with Building Management Systems (BMS) such as HVAC, lighting, energy, fire, and life-safety systems.\nEnsure incubated solutions support multi-site and multi-tenant building deployments and can scale reliably beyond pilot environments.\nDrive interoperability across heterogeneous OT devices, protocols, and vendor ecosystems common in building environments.\nEnsure experimentation and pilots account for continuous operations and minimal disruption expectations in live buildings.\nSecurity & Privacy Knowledge\nOwn security-by-design and privacy-by-design accountability across all incubated software initiatives.\nEnsure security requirements align with industrial and OT security standards (e.g., ANSI/ISA-62443) and enterprise security policies.\nRequire and oversee: Threat modeling and secure architecture reviews\nStrong authentication, authorization, and role-based access control\nSecure handling of credentials, secrets, and certificates\nAudit logging and traceability for security-relevant actions\n\nEnsure compliance with data protection and privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR) and completion of required Privacy Impact Assessments (PIA) prior to graduation of incubated solutions.\nPartner closely with Security, Legal, and Compliance teams to ensure incubated ideas are viable in regulated environments.\nIndustrial & OT Engineering Knowledge\nLed incubation of software solutions for industrial and OT-centric environments, including manufacturing, energy, and process industries.\nEnsure platforms can integrate with industrial control systems (ICS) such as SCADA, PLCs, edge devices, and legacy systems.\nDrive architectures that support deterministic performance, high-frequency telemetry, and near-real-time decision support where required.\nBalance innovation speed with production continuity, safety, and reliability expectations in live industrial environments.\nEnsure solutions are designed for long asset lifecycles, staged rollouts, and controlled upgrade windows typical of industrial customers.\nOrganization & Talent Leadership\nBuild, mentor, and retain high-performing engineering leaders and senior technologists.\nDevelop engineering managers and tech leads capable of balancing experimentation speed with technical rigor and domain responsibility.\nFoster an inclusive, high-accountability culture emphasizing ownership, craftsmanship, and engineering judgment.\nBusiness & Stakeholder Partnership\nCollaborate with Product, UX, Data, OT, and Business leaders to align incubated ideas with strategic priorities and domain realities.\nTranslate technical and domain insights into compelling narratives for senior leadership.\nServe as a trusted advisor on innovation strategy, platform evolution, and technology investment decisions.\nExecution & Governance\nDefine success metrics for incubation including validated learning, domain readiness, and transition viability.\nEnsure disciplined execution through lightweight governance, clear decision points, and risk transparency.\nOwn budget, capacity planning, and vendor strategy for innovation initiatives.\n Preferred Experience & Skills\nExperience with Buildings, Industrial, SaaS, or platform-based businesses.\nExposure to OT environments, cybersecurity, or regulated systems.\nExperience with AI/ML, GenAI, data platforms, IoT, or edge ecosystems.\nFamiliarity with Lean Startup and design thinking methodologies.\nExceptional ability to operate under ambiguity and drive clarity through experimentation.\nStrong storytelling, influence, and executive communication skills.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6537,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Smart
