How Generative Tools Are Re-Architecting the Software Engineer’s Role

Large language models now write boilerplate, propose tests, and even suggest architectures, but these gains introduce new risks, governance challenges, and skill gaps. This session examines how generative AI is reshaping every stage of the software development life cycle and what it means for engineers and team leads.

Attendees will learn to treat prompts, context windows, and synthetic tests as first-class artifacts under version control, explore practical patterns for validating and securing AI-generated code within CI/CD pipelines, and understand how to integrate these capabilities without slowing delivery. The session also highlights emerging roles, from model-ops and AI governance to domain toolsmiths, that define the future of engineering careers.

Participants will leave with a practical roadmap to evolve their processes and skill sets from human-only coding to AI-augmented engineering, while maintaining quality, security, and ethical rigor.

What You Will Learn

  • How generative AI is reshaping each phase of the software development lifecycle

  • Methods to validate, secure, and monitor AI-generated code within CI/CD pipelines

  • New roles and skills emerging from AI-augmented engineering workflows

Who Should Attend

Software engineers, team leads, and engineering managers seeking to adapt their workflows, governance, and skill development to the AI-augmented era of software engineering.
