• Apply AI literacy and prompt engineering skills to guide AI agents in data retrieval, migration health reporting, and task automation.
• Act as the technical point of contact during major migration incidents — coordinating with Engineering and Product to protect the customer's operations during cutover phases.
• Monitor technical trends proactively and provide tailored release recommendations to optimize migrated environments for performance and stability.
