• Manage a SDLC to convert high value macros and other tools built by less-technical users into standalone services and low code workflows that can be used by multiple internal teams
• Define coding standards and best practices for interacting with AI agents across Branch
• Collaborate with stakeholders across Branch to scope and deliver solutions
• Write clean, well-documented code and contribute to a culture of technical quality
