• Architect and build AI agents for observability, automated root cause analysis, anomaly detection, and engineering productivity optimization.
• Design agentic workflows that integrate across telemetry pipelines, application stacks, and cloud infrastructure.
• Develop AI-driven tooling to accelerate development velocity, reduce operational toil, and improve MTTR.
• Apply LLMs, reasoning frameworks, and advanced AI patterns to automate complex debugging and system diagnostics.
• Drive AI-native development practices across apps, tooling, and platform engineering.
• Partner across engineering teams to embed intelligent automation into CI/CD, DevOps, and support workflows.
