Principal Architect, AI & Developer Productivity Location: Remote - US Eastern or Central Time Based Only Work Authorization Notice: At this time, we are unable to provide immigration sponsorship for this position. Candidates must have current, and future, unrestricted authorization to work in the country where the role is based. Role Overview Togetherwork is seeking a Principal Architect, AI & Developer Productivity to own how AI accelerates the software development lifecycle across the portfolio. This is a hands on leadership role for someone who has shipped AI augmented engineering tooling at scale and can prove measurable improvements in developer throughput, software quality, and cycle time. You will define and operationalize the AI assisted development stack across the organization: IDE assistants, code review automation, test generation, security scanning, documentation, and release automation. You will set the standards, build the platform, and drive adoption across product teams. You will measure outcomes against DORA metrics and retire tools that do not produce returns, regardless of how fashionable they are. This is not a research, thought leadership, or governance only role. We are looking for someone who has actually deployed AI tooling into production engineering organizations and can show the metrics that prove it worked. Key Responsibilities 1. AI Augmented SDLC Strategy and Platform Define and operationalize the AI assisted engineering platform across the portfolio, covering IDE assistants, agentic coding tools (Claude code, cursor, etc), code review automation, test generation, security scanning, documentation, and release automation. Architect a model and vendor agnostic abstraction layer so the organization is not locked into a single tool, model, or provider as the landscape evolves monthly. Establish reference architectures and golden paths for AI augmented workflows that teams can adopt without forcing a single stack across all products. 2. St
