Manager, Development — AI Execution Platforms

Solutions Consulting & Engineering Team

WWT's Solutions Consulting & Engineering is a customer-focused and solutions-led organization. We deliver end-to-end and emerging solutions to drive customer satisfaction and increase profitability and growth. Our world-class management consulting, delivery excellence, and engineering brilliance enable our success. We embody the OneWWT mindset by bringing the right talent at the right time from anywhere within WWT to solve our customer's problems.

Our goal is to bring together business acumen with full-stack technical know-how to develop innovative solutions for our clients' most complex challenges.

About the Role

WWT's Managed Services practice builds and runs an internal application portfolio that powers real customer delivery — from nightly cutover orchestration platforms to pricing and P&L tooling — alongside a low-code and automation ecosystem built on Boomi, Retool, and Power Automate. You will lead the development function across both tracks: a pro-code team building AI-first on our modern Azure stack, and the low-code/integration builders automating workflows across the business.

This role is as much about people as platforms: you'll manage a range of strong personalities, absorb aggressive and shifting requirements from executive stakeholders, and keep the team shipping through it. We work AI-native — most code here is written with AI assistance — and we need a leader who has lived that, understands where it accelerates and where it bites, and can build the guardrails to get the best of both.

What You'll Do

• Lead and grow a team of Execution Engineers, Execution Architects, and low-code builders delivering internal platforms and customer-facing operational tooling
• Manage a variety of personalities — including strong, opinionated senior technologists — building trust, resolving friction directly, and channeling that energy into output rather than conflict
• Operate under aggressive, frequently changing requirements and deadlines: re-scope on the fly, communicate trade-offs to leadership clearly, and protect the team from whiplash without hiding behind process
• Own delivery across a portfolio of production applications built on React/Type Script, FastAPI/PostgreSQL, and Azure Container Apps — roadmap sequencing, release quality, and incident accountability
• Drive AI-assisted and "vibe coding" development practices (Claude Code, agentic workflows, spec-driven builds) as the default way the team works — with a clear-eyed view of the pros and cons, and standards for review, testing, and guardrails where the risks live
• Own the low-code and integration portfolio on Boomi, Retool, and Power Automate: intake, prioritization, build standards, connector/credential governance, and the path from quick automation to supportable production asset
• Enforce engineering standards — code quality gates, version pinning, TDD, conventional commits, security patterns (managed identity, Key Vault, Http Only JWT/SSO) — without slowing the team down
• Run the operational side of development: sprint cadence, capacity planning across US and India contributors, hiring, and performance management
• Represent the development function in executive reviews — status, risk, and roadmap — with crisp, decision-ready communication
