Take the 5-minute quiz to discover your AI engineering archetype and get personalised growth recommendations.
Take the AI Archetypes quiz

One engineer ships entire features in an afternoon using AI agents. Another refuses to let AI touch their database migrations. A product manager uses AI to investigate bugs without waiting for engineers.
Eventually, five patterns emerged. Five ways people actually use AI in engineering work. Not personality types, just recognisable patterns in how you work.
We called them the AI Engineering Archetypes.

Extend patterns and maximize AI leverage across the entire tech team.
Steer agents at high abstraction to ship fast without sacrificing quality.
Use AI to engage with codebases meaningfully, without being a dev.
Stay close to the code because domain expertise exceeds AI's capabilities.

Understand your current AI usage patterns and get concrete growth paths, not just "use AI more."

Map your team's archetype mix, spot capability gaps, and use shared language for performance discussions.

Balance speed with quality through complementary
archetypes and build AI
capability systematically.
