• Configure, script, and develop automation solutions using best practices for reliability, security, and maintainability.

• Build deployment packages and coordinate structured deployments across Dev/Test/Production environments.
• Implement monitoring, alerting, and data integrity checks for all deployed automation.

Support, Troubleshooting & Training

• Provide Tier 3 support for automation tools and integration workflows; assist Tier 1 & 2 as needed.
• Solve complex issues, communicate status to collaborators, and ensure minimal business disruption.
• Maintain documentation, user guides, and training materials; deliver training to end users.

Continuous Improvement & Collaboration

• Proactively find opportunities to automate, simplify, and optimize processes.
• Ensure all work aligns with cybersecurity, UI/UX, and architecture standards.
• Mentor peers and collaborate across IT and business functions with a “one team” approach.
• Meet service‑level expectations, maintain accurate work estimates, and follow all company policies and processes.
• Automate repetitive IT tasks using PowerShell, Python, and related scripting methods.
• Travel to Re:Build locations as needed to support enterprise initiatives.
