- Support CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments, configuration management, and cloud environment troubleshooting.
- Assist with the integration of AI services through governed APIs and standardized interface contracts.
- Implement role-based access controls and follow enterprise security, privacy, data-retention, and auditability requirements.
- Create and maintain technical documentation, including API specifications, deployment instructions, support procedures, and design notes.
- Participate in backlog refinement, estimation, sprint planning, demonstrations, and retrospectives.
- Investigate defects and operational issues using logs, metrics, traces, and other platform evidence.
