As more code is written with AI, you make sure our teams still specify, review, test and ship it well, so the gain is real for every team and not only for the fastest individual. You shape how a whole engineering unit works with AI, across a varied client portfolio.\nResponsibilities\nSet the engineering standards for AI-native coding: how tasks are specified and broken down, how code is reviewed and tested, secure coding, and which decisions an engineer must make rather than AI, so AI never approves its own work.\nMake automated checks (types, tests, static analysis) the first line of review, with AI review on top, and keep review and test practice in step as code volume grows, working with Platform Engineering, who run CI. Keep standards practical and tool-neutral.\nUse metrics like rework, defect and review-time signals to find where the process gets stuck, not to score people.\nDefine the engineering content of our review and release gates: which changes need senior human review before merge and what test evidence is required, matched to the risk. Agree these with the Principal AI Engineer, so they become part of the AI Delivery System.\nWork hands-on in client codebases on the hardest problems, such as code-level performance, reliability and critical refactoring, and lead the code-level fix when the management brings you in on a quality or reliability problem.\nGrow engineers by doing the work alongside them: pairing, code review and guided work on real projects.\nHelp the People team and the engineering leads describe good AI-enabled engineering at each career level.\nTurn patterns that repeat across projects into shared templates or checks, agreed with the Principal AI Engineer.\nKey Measures of Success\nYour contribution to standards are agreed with the the rest of the management and used across the teams.\nTeams using your standards ship AI-assisted code without a rise in rework or escaped defects, measured against an agreed baseline you help set before adoption.\nThe Principal AI Engineer has an agreed, prioritized set of your standards to build into the AI Delivery System.\nProjects you step into show measurable improvement in defects, rework or reliability against where they started.\nQualifications - Required\nExtensive hands-on software engineering experience, deep in at least one area (backend, web, mobile or platform) and broad across others.\nSerious daily use of AI coding agents in production work, and a clear view of where they fail and what they really cost to get to reviewed, working code.\nStrong in software design, code review, testing strategy, CI/CD and secure coding.\nA track record of engineering standards adopted across several teams.\nComfortable in client environments, explaining engineering trade-offs to client technical leads.\nAble to coach senior and mid-level engineers.\nFluent in English, spoken and written.\nQualifications - Preferred\nExperience building developer platforms, internal tooling or delivery automation, or contributions to open source.\nThai nationality is preferred, but not required.\nAbout Seven Peaks\nSeven Peaks is where high-impact engineering meets a truly global culture.
