• Background in automation, workflow orchestration or complex application design.
• Ability to reason about system behavior over time, not just point interactions.
• Comfort working directly with engineers and reviewing implementations.
• Clear communication and structured thinking.
• Ability to balance flexibility with consistency across teams.

Responsabilidades

• Design end-to-end system flows for complex, multi-step workflows.
• Define orchestration patterns for automation and agent-driven processes.
• Establish standards for synchronous and asynchronous interactions.
• Shape service boundaries, APIs and event models.
• Design lifecycle management for long-running workflows and delegated actions.
• Define retry, error-handling, compensation and escalation patterns.
• Ensure automation behaves predictably under failure and load.
• Collaborate with Security on guardrails and with Data on data access patterns.
• Review and evolve designs as the platform grows and new capabilities are introduced.
• Act as a technical sounding board for engineering teams building platform features.
