• Partner directly with business stakeholders to understand processes and pain points and translate business requirements into effective automation and agent solutions that deliver measurable value.
• Move automations and agents reliably through Development, UAT, and Production using source control, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, versioning, testing, approvals, and documented rollback processes.
• Build security, reliability, and observability into production solutions, including IAM and least-privilege access, secrets management, authentication/authorization, guardrails, audit logging, monitoring, exception handling, and cost awareness.
• Monitor automation and agent performance, including execution status, failures, tool calls, latency, access denials, usage, and cost using Amazon CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry, and related capabilities.
• Troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and continuously improve the reliability, scalability, performance, and supportability of automation and AI solutions.
• Serve as a technical resource for assigned business processes and systems, identifying opportunities for automation, leading process improvements, and helping teams adopt new AI-enabled capabilities.
