• Integrate GenAI capabilities with application and data workflows to enhance automation, insight generation, predictive analytics and intelligent user experiences.
• Design and support Agentic Solutions that can orchestrate tasks, interact with enterprise systems, automate workflows and improve decision support across business processes.
• Stay current with emerging AI, GenAI and agentic technologies, and identify practical ways to embed intelligent automation into enterprise applications and data platforms.
• Set up and maintain CI/CD pipelines for application builds, container image creation, quality checks and deployment to target platforms.
• Troubleshoot application, platform and deployment issues, and follow standard procedures for escalating unresolved issues to appropriate internal engineering teams.
• Document technical knowledge, deployment steps, support procedures, troubleshooting notes and runbooks in the form of reusable notes and manuals.
• Contribute to peer reviews, documentation, and knowledge assets including runbooks, SOPs, and best practices.
• Responsible for decision-making, optimizing processes, resource management, and overseeing team management as needed for task execution.
• Accountable for allocating personnel, supervising team members, assigning tasks, ensuring that the team has the necessary tools and support to succeed in their roles and optimizing and evaluating their performance to meet organizational goals.

Skills and attributes for success

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in microservices, application modernization and container platforms, preferably OpenShift or managed Kubernetes on public or private hyperscalers.

• Ability to work across application engineering, platform engineering, data and AI teams to deliver secure, scalable and production-ready solutions.
• Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving ability and structured approach to escalation, documentation and knowledge sharing.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to collaborate with client, product, architecture and engineering teams in a delivery-focused environment.
