Requirements
  • Strong software delivery experience across various technology stacks using industry best practices, including versioning, pull request reviews, solution design, and coding.
  • Understanding of how to apply artificial intelligence capabilities such as Spec-Driven Development to enable the software delivery lifecycle.
  • Ability to run practical, hands-on enablement sessions with technical personnel and support client team members in running them.
  • Familiarity with artificial-intelligence-assisted coding tools, agentic integrated development environment workflows, skills, model behavior, and common artificial intelligence failure modes.
  • Ability to diagnose friction across setup, workspace structure, command execution, dependencies, tests, and source-control flows, and distinguish environment friction from artificial-intelligence friction.
  • Working knowledge of artificial-intelligence-assisted Quality Engineering methods, including test generation, execution, and defect review.
  • Good communication skills and the ability to coach technical personnel who may be skeptical of artificial-intelligence-generated output or attached to existing coding habits.
  • Enough architectural and code literacy to distinguish an artificial-intelligence skill or prompting problem from a specification-quality, context, setup, or codebase problem.
  • Ability to help pods test and validate the story-development and quick-development skill chain against realistic stories, including user-interface framework, application programming interface, and other story types as they become available.
  • Working knowledge of the A.I.D.E. Framework.
  • Comfort using artificial-intelligence tools to complete job functions.
Responsibilities
  • Support the AI Enablement Technical Lead in delivering and coaching artificial-intelligence adoption across multiple client teams.
  • Serve as the contact person for coaching and questions related to artificial-intelligence adoption and enablement in the software delivery lifecycle across multiple client teams.
  • Mentor technical client team members on validating plans and code generated by artificial intelligence against intended story outcomes.
  • Coach client team members to focus on delivery rather than making unplanned artificial-intelligence skill changes during delivery, while capturing friction for later iterations.
  • Support client teams in maintaining a strong review ethic across code, tests, pull requests, and other artificial-intelligence-generated artifacts requiring human-in-the-loop review.
  • Help diagnose experience and environment friction in real usage, including skill discovery, workspace confusion, command generation, dependencies, tests, branch and pull-request flow, integrated-development-environment and tool timeouts, request limits, and command-line-interface setup.
  • Support client-team integration of tooling, scripting, and Model Context Protocol with existing enterprise solutions such as Jira and Confluence.
  • Support creation of the artificial-intelligence knowledge base and related artificial-intelligence-supported reverse-engineering activities.
  • Support setup of artificial-intelligence-enabled project environments, including repositories, skills, agents, and configuration files.
  • Coach technical client staff on validating that artificial-intelligence-generated output respects engineering constraints, coding guidelines, test requirements, enterprise standards, and other team requirements.
  • Work with team members to capture and improve artificial-intelligence skills and agentic capabilities.
  • Escalate technical decisions, tooling blockers, access issues, and capacity issues outside the role’s remit to the AI Enablement Technical Lead, and surface recurring friction across assigned client teams.
  • Provide guidance and mentoring for technical client team members, mainly developers and quality engineers.
  • Support deep-dive sessions and story walkthroughs across assigned client teams to advance artificial-intelligence enablement.
  • Create and support creation of guidance for technical personnel, such as walkthrough notes and step-by-step job aids.
  • Provide coaching in artificial-intelligence-enabling techniques and practices according to the program’s standards and approach.
  • Log, share, and escalate experience and environment or tooling-friction findings.
  • Support artificial-intelligence knowledge-base creation and reverse engineering through in-person assistance or guidance artifacts.
  • Capture artificial-intelligence skill-improvement requirements across client teams and collaborate with the program team to elicit improvements.
  • Script or support scripting for enterprise-tool integration, including Jira and Confluence.
  • Report developer-friction patterns across assigned client teams.
  • Report to the AI Enablement Technical Lead.
Desired Qualifications
  • Familiarity with Spec-Driven Development solutions.

What believers are saying

  • Motive Partners announced a $100 million investment on October 28, 2025.
  • Electric Mind opened its Chicago office on January 21, 2025, broadening U.S. reach.
  • Management said 2025 brought 200-plus hires and over 50% revenue growth.

What critics are saying

  • Motive’s C$100 million investment creates growth pressure and margin discipline within 12 months.
  • Financial-services concentration ties Electric Mind to banking budgets and regulated client sales cycles.
  • Chicago expansion raises execution risk; a weak U.S. pipeline turns expansion into overhead quickly.

What makes Electric Mind unique

  • Electric Mind combines strategy, design, and engineering, unlike pure body-shop consultancies.
  • It has 35 years serving Canadian financial institutions, with engineering credibility from Intelliware.
  • Motive Partners backed it on October 24, 2025, validating its financial-services specialization.
