Engineering Enablement defines and operates the enablement systems that shape how engineering works across Expedia Group. We design and integrate the Internal Developer Portal (IDP), AI Enablement ecosystem, onboarding and scaffolding systems, documentation platforms, workflow automation layers, and engineering intelligence infrastructure that reduce systemic friction and improve measurable engineering performance.

Our systems serve thousands of engineers and form a cohesive engineering operating system — powering service creation, documentation, automation, governed AI‑assisted workflows, and performance visibility across the organization.

As engineering complexity scales, unmanaged tooling, fragmented workflows, and disconnected AI experimentation increase cognitive load and reduce velocity. Engineering Enablement addresses these challenges through integrated system design. The systems you architect will directly influence onboarding time-to-impact, delivery speed, change stability, AI adoption with governance, and developer satisfaction. This is a high‑leverage role where architectural decisions shape the daily workflows of thousands of engineers.

• Lead architectural direction for the Internal Developer Portal (IDP), including service catalog governance, plugin ecosystems, and extensibility models
• Architect AI‑enabled workflows that integrate enterprise LLM capabilities into engineering systems with governance, auditability, and contextual grounding
• Design scalable backend services and APIs powering onboarding, documentation, metadata management, automation, and workflow orchestration
• Integrate AI systems safely with identity, authorization, and enterprise data boundaries, implementing guardrails, telemetry, and evaluation frameworks
• Extend intelligent workflows into CLI and local development environments to increase self‑service adoption
• Design orchestration layers that connect templates, services, CI/CD pipelines, and automation workflows to reduce manual coordination
• Create reusable enablement patterns and golden paths that reduce onboarding and service creation variance
• Ensure documentation systems are structured, discoverable, and AI‑ingestible to improve contextual linking across the engineering ecosystem
• Integrate engineering intelligence signals into workflows, tying platform capabilities to measurable improvements in delivery speed and quality
• Establish reliability, observability, and operational standards for distributed enablement services
