  • Establish and monitor metrics to drive measurable improvements in developer productivity.
  • Collaborate with security, legal, and AI leadership to establish policies for AI-generated code and data handling.
  • Manage the budget, tooling investments, and vendor relationships for the developer experience portfolio.
