Responsibilities

• Agentic AI Integration for Workflow and Platform Automation
  • Lead the integration of Agentic AI capabilities into workflow and platform automation tools to improve orchestration, decision support, and execution efficiency.
  • Design and implement AI-enabled automation patterns such as intelligent workflow generation, automation validation, remediation recommendations, change-impact analysis, troubleshooting assistance, and root-cause analysis.
  • Build automation patterns that combine AI reasoning with governed workflow and platform execution to support more predictive, adaptive, and autonomous operations.
  • Partner with AI/ML, platform, security, application, ITAM, and ITSM teams to embed automation signals, operational context, and enterprise controls into AI-driven automation solutions.
  • Help shape the next generation of intelligent enterprise automation by aligning platform engineering, workflow automation, and Agentic AI capabilities into scalable operational solutions.
• Automation Framework Design and Enablement
  • Design enterprise-grade automation frameworks using reusable modules, workflows, and integration patterns that support infrastructure, platform, and operational use cases.
  • Build automation solutions for provisioning, configuration management, patching, compliance, cloud infrastructure, and operational workflows.
  • Integrate automation platforms with enterprise systems and toolchains such as ServiceNow, CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, observability platforms, and event-driven automation services.
  • Enable self-service automation capabilities for engineering, operations, and business teams through well-defined templates, reusable services, and governed platform access.
• Automation Platform Development and Operations
  • Design, implement, operate, and continuously improve the enterprise automation platform ecosystem, including tools such as Ansible, Chef, Terraform Enterprise, and related workflow automation technologies.
  • Define and maintain the automation platform roadmap, including feature evolution, lifecycle management, scalability planning, platform reliability, and enterprise adoption milestones.
  • Establish and enforce platform governance, including coding standards, reusable patterns, testing frameworks, operational guardrails, and security controls across automation solutions.
  • Build and maintain reusable automation foundations optimized for performance, security, maintainability, and dependency management.
  • Lead platform upgrades, migrations, standardization efforts, and cross-environment consistency initiatives.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related technical field. Concentration or demonstrated focus in AI technologies is a plus.
• 3–5+ years of experience in platform engineering, DevOps, and enterprise automation.
• Experience designing, operating, and scaling automation platforms and reusable automation frameworks in complex enterprise environments.
• Background in infrastructure automation, configuration management, provisioning, patching, compliance, and operational workflow automation.
• Experience integrating automation platforms with enterprise systems and toolchains such as ServiceNow, CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, observability platforms, and event-driven automation services.
• Strong scripting and automation development skills using languages such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
• Familiarity with Linux systems, containers, Kubernetes, and modern orchestration patterns.
• Experience establishing platform standards, governance, security controls, and reusable engineering patterns for automation at scale.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience implementing Agentic AI, AIOps, or AI-enabled automation within infrastructure, platform, or operational workflows.
• Experience integrating AI capabilities into enterprise automation tools for use cases such as workflow generation, validation, remediation, troubleshooting, or operational decision support.
• Hands-on experience with enterprise automation tools such as Ansible, Chef, Terraform Enterprise, and other infrastructure or workflow automation platforms.
