Technology Lead - Modernization & Enablement

Technology Lead - Modernization & EnablementCompany:The Boeing CompanyBoeing Digital Services is transforming the way it designs, delivers, and supports aviation products at scale. We are in the midst of a an organizational-wide modernization effort—reinventing how our teams operate, how we partner with customers, and how we bring digital solutions to market. Central to this transformation is a deliberate shift toward modern technology and AI-driven ways of working: adopting new tools, practices, and delivery approaches that allow our teams to move faster, operate with greater confidence, and deliver more efficiently than ever before.  The Modernization Office sits at the center of this transformation, responsible for ensuring the organization moves forward with clarity, alignment, and measurable momentum. A core part of that work is making sure our technologists are equipped and trained to deliver with modern ways of working, and that leadership has real-time visibility into how that progress is taking shape across the business.The Modernization Office is seeking a Technology Lead - Modernization & Enablement (Level 5) who will serve as an org-wide coach and change agent who will help design, embed, and cascade new technology solutions that will help Digital Services deliver at pace. This role's customer is our Digital Services Technology team in Englewood, CO; Plano, TX; Puyallup, WA.Position SummaryThis role carries two primary areas of focus.The first, and dominant, area is hands-on technical change enablement - designing, building, and delivering alongside all Boeing Digital Services software and product teams to work faster, ship with more confidence, and operate more efficiently. You are expected to contribute directly to the codebase, prototype features, deliver executive level dashboards and build the internal tooling that teams rely on. You will also design the technical training and enablement programs that help other developers adopt these tools and ways of working - grounded in the same hands-on experience you bring to work yourself.The second area is AI/ML technical expertise and program visibility – providing technical guidance on latest AI / ML ways of working and platform solutions, and supporting the Modernization Office Lead with the metrics and reporting needed to demonstrate that modernization is delivering measurable value.Success in this role looks like software development and product teams that ship faster and with greater confidence, an internal AI toolchain that is well-architected and actively used, and a Modernization Office that can point to concrete technical outcomes as evidence that this transformation is real.Position ResponsibilitiesModern Technology Onboarding & AdoptionOwn the end-to-end onboarding process for new modern technologies, AI-powered tools, and updated ways of working introduced as part of the modernization programWrite automation scripts, build integrations, and contribute directly to internal tooling to reduce the friction of adopting new technologies—making it easier for teams to do the right thing (rather than the old thing)Own implementation follow-up and adoption tracking, monitoring usage and surfacing friction at the technical level - not just surveying teams, but diagnosing root causes and fixing themPartner with the Modernization Office Lead and platform teams to sequence technology introductions in a way that minimizes disruption while meaningfully accelerating delivery speed, confidence, and efficiencyTechnology Enablement & TrainingDesign, build, and deliver technical training programs that equip software developers DevOps practitioners, and product teams with the hands-on skills to adopt AI-driven tools and modern development practicesDevelop a comprehensive library of enablement assets grounded in real implementation experience - code walkthroughs, hands-on labs, quick-reference guides, e-learning modules, and self-service learning paths built by someone who has done the work, not just described itFacilitate live training sessions, workshops, and office hours that go beyond slides - getting into terminals, editors, and pipelines alongside teams to build genuine technical competencyTranslate complex AI and platform concepts into accessible language for non-technical stakeholders when needed, without dumbing down the technical depth required for software development audiencesFoster a Center of Excellence environment where developers share reusable patterns, implementation learnings, and best practices—building a community of practice around AI and modern deliveryModernization KPI Dashboards & InsightsDirectly build, own, and maintain the suite of KPI dashboards that provide real-time visibility into the progress and health of Boeing’s modernization program across software performance and delivery.Proactively identify new data sources, instrumentation gaps, and emerging signals that can expand the organization’s ability to measure modernization progress.Partner with software and platform teams to ensure reliable, well-structured data pipelines feed the dashboards - identifying gaps in instrumentation and working to close them over time.Program Visibility & Modernization InsightsBuild applications that move our collective team away from documents and into shared self-serve spaces for status reporting, tracking, etc.Work closely with the Modernization Office Lead to translate adoption activity and technology progress into clear, leadership-ready reporting that demonstrates the real-world impact of the modernization programTrack and communicate core adoption indicators - including tool usage rates, onboarding velocity, and engagement trends - alongside relevant software development performance metrics such as MTTR and deployment frequencyBuild and maintain dashboards and reporting views that give the Modernization Office and executive stakeholders a credible, consolidated picture of transformation momentum and delivery healthCross
