• Implement strong observability and monitoring practices, participating in incident response and continuous reliability improvements
• Build integrations that improve documentation discoverability and ensure systems support AI-ingestible, well-structured knowledge
• Contribute to agent-based workflows that connect knowledge and action, instrumenting AI interactions for telemetry and reliability
• Independently deliver production-grade implementations with minimal oversight while identifying recurring friction and proposing scalable solutions
• Collaborate across teams to ensure solutions are scalable and maintainable across multiple engineering organizations

Preferred:
