Unlimited Potential jobs

The Delivery Lead is responsible for one value stream, which may consist of 1-3 offshore development pods. The team delivers the AI-native way: spec-driven, gated, with the AI factory. Keeping it that way is part of the job.

Req.#1123830910

The recruiting efforts for this position are intended to fill an existing vacancy for a new position.

Responsibilities

• Estimate each approved project together with the POs, the lead developer and the architects
• Turn the estimate into a plan: milestones, sprints, pod capacity and staffing against the backlog having in mind capacity measured in AI Complexity Points
• Map the dependencies up front, across teams, across value streams and across vendors (including other vendors), with an owner and a date on each
• Execute against the plan. Track progress and throughput, and re-plan when scope, capacity or a dependency moves
• Raise risks and slippage early, with the cause and the decision needed
• Report throughput in complexity points, cycle time, defect escape and rework rate on the account cadence
• Own the stream's part of the complexity-point baseline, and move pods from T&M to committed output
• Move each pod through the AI factory ramp when the team is new
• Track AI adoption and productivity per pod and per person
• Track AI cost per pod, per person and per ticket, next to the cost of the pod itself
• Run a continuous improvement program for the stream. Find where work is slow or expensive: rework, review queues, waiting on dependencies, model and prompt choices, runs that cost more than the ticket is worth
• Set targets for cost per complexity point and cost per unit of work, and bring them down over time
• Pass the factory improvements on to the pods and measure the effect
• Keep the savings visible and tie them to EPAM margin on the output-based model

Requirements

• Experience leading delivery of multi-team software programs with external vendors, in a client-facing role
• Track record of delivering to a plan and to commercial commitments
• Hands-on with AI coding tools, with first-hand experience of AI-native ways of working in a team
• Comfortable with data: delivery, cost and productivity metrics
• Strong communication with senior client stakeholders, and the judgment to escalate early
• Insurance or financial services background is a plus

An artificial intelligence system is software that is developed with one or more techniques that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, using algorithmic information processing, generate outputs such as content, predictions, recommendations, or decisions with varying levels of autonomy (“AI”). Tasks that humans have traditionally done by thinking and reasoning are increasingly being done by, or with the help of, AI to help create efficiencies.EPAM may use AI during the recruitment process, in connection with collecting or processing your personal data. Some (non-exhaustive) examples of tasks that EPAM may use AI for include conducting initial screening, creating transcripts of interviews, and assessing applications/CVs against defined job description criteria to make suggestions to the individuals evaluating your candidacy.Your personal data and the results of any processing are not shared with AI applications outside of EPAM infrastructure. While EPAM may use AI to help create efficiencies during the recruitment process, EPAM does not use AI to make hiring decisions, which is done by EPAM Talent Acquisition and management.
