Responsibilities
Design reliability architectures that prioritize automation and intelligent decision-making over manual processes
Define patterns for fault isolation, graceful degradation, and recovery that assume automated and AI-assisted execution
Ensure reliability, security, and governance requirements are embedded directly into operational systems and workflows
Establish architectural standards that reduce complexity, human dependency, and operational risk
Architect event-driven automation platforms that span detection, decisioning, and execution
Design and implement workflow orchestration systems capable of handling both low-risk autonomous actions and higher-risk human-approved operations
Replace ticket-driven and static runbook processes with executable, testable automation
Standardize automation patterns across incident response, change execution, and platform operations
Ensure automation systems are resilient, observable, and auditable
Design and own internal AI-driven operational platforms that act as a centralized interface for reliability and automation workflows
Build systems that allow intelligent components to retrieve operational context, reason over signals, and invoke controlled actions across infrastructure and services
Establish architectures for agent coordination, capability discovery, and safe execution in production environments
Define guardrails, approval paths, observability, and auditability for AI-initiated actions
Integrate AI-driven decisioning directly into operational workflows rather than treating it as an external enhancement
Architect observability systems that feed automation and intelligent decision-making rather than static dashboards
Design signal pipelines that correlate metrics, logs, traces, and events into actionable context
Reduce alert fatigue through context-aware, noise-resistant detection and prioritization
Ensure every operational signal has a defined automated or AI-assisted response path
Drive continuous improvement through trend analysis and systemic remediation
Define governance-backed use of enterprise low-code automation platforms to accelerate operational workflows
Enable secure, scalable automation for approvals, communications, enrichment, and orchestration while preventing platform sprawl
Establish clear boundaries between low-code automation and code-first systems
Integrate enterprise automation tools with cloud-native automation and AI-driven operational platforms
Serve as the architectural authority for reliability, automation, and AI-driven operations
Mentor senior engineers and raise organizational maturity in automation and intelligent systems
Partner with engineering, security, and compliance teams to deliver safe, scalable operational platforms
Own reference architectures, operational standards, and long-term technical direction
Challenge designs that increase operational risk, toil, or manual dependency

Preferred
Experience designing or implementing agent-based or AI-assisted operational systems
Familiarity with modern AI platforms and model integration for operational use cases
Experience with control-plane architectures for automation and intelligent systems
Enterprise automation and governance experience
Knowledge of cost-aware reliability design, FinOps principles, and zero-trust security models
Relevant cloud or platform certifications
