Design, build, and maintain agentic workflows that automate repetitive engineering and surveillance tasks, integrating LLMs responsibly into production and internal tooling.

Take ownership of projects as individual contributor, adapting to dynamic requirements.

Research emerging technologies, tools, and design patterns, including advances in AI and agentic systems, to improve scalability, resilience, and performance.

Provide ongoing application support and communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.

Participate in a 24/7 production on-call rotation to ensure system reliability and uptime.
