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.
Required Qualifications
- 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.
