## Session Description
Most companies talk about being AI-native, but few show what it takes at scale. Josh Leavitt, Sr. Director of AI & Data at Coinbase, shares the hard-won playbook for transforming a high-stakes, regulated engineering organization into one where AI is a first-class citizen across every team. Josh can cover my approach towards building a centralized AI platform that serves thousands of engineers without becoming a bottleneck, tooling decisions that actually moved the needle, and what AI-native really means when shipping in a zero-tolerance-for-failure environment. Expect concrete frameworks, real examples, and honest lessons from what didn’t work.
