This is an ambitious initiative designed to transform PwC's engineering capabilities through the development and deployment of an AI-native engineering platform. The project aims to consolidate PwC's existing software delivery and AI tools into a singular, integrated platform, enabling the firm to compete effectively with large engineering firms that are up to 70% larger.

You will be at the forefront of the initiative, driving PwC's transformation into a leader in AI-native engineering. Your role involves harnessing innovative AI tools to enhance software delivery processes and developing a unified engineering platform. You'll collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to optimize the software development lifecycle, ensuring efficiency, scalability, and competitive advantage.

Planned activities:

1. Research and Development

- Assess current technology maturity and readiness for AI integration.
- Develop and refine technical foundations, including AI chat applications and scalable architectures.

2. Build Proof of Concepts (PoCs)
- Design, construct, and pilot PoCs for selected use cases, focusing on AI integration and success measurement.
- Collaborate on testing and refining automation frameworks for effective project deployment.

3. AI Agent Development:

- Build AI-driven solutions for streamlining repetitive engineering tasks.
- Implement agile methodologies to drive iterative development and continuous improvement.

Additional Focus Areas:

- Collaborate with partners to bolster AI capabilities and close tooling gaps.

- Ensure effective communication and documentation processes within the team.

Become a key player in revolutionizing PwC's engineering approach by leveraging cutting-edge AI technologies.
