AI-first push reshapes roles at Infosys

Infosys’ shift towards becoming an AI-first company is beginning to reshape both how it works with clients and the kinds of technology roles it is building internally, according to Chief Technology Officer Mohammed Rafee Tarafdar.

Tarafdar told Fe that the operating model of IT services firms was moving from AI-assisted delivery to AI-native engineering, creating demand for a new set of specialised roles.

“Roles like forward deployed engineers, responsible AI engineers, model engineers, AI security engineers, and techno-functional engineering managers will become critical,” Tarafdar said.
