- Own rollout strategy through staged releases, enablement, and change management.
- Collaborate with Tech Leads to ensure explainability, observability, and safe fallback mechanisms before scaling dependencies.
- Serve as the primary integrator across Support, Product, Enterprise Engineering, Platform, and SME teams.

What we look for:
- BS or higher degree in Computer Science or a related field.
- 10+ years of experience building and operating customer-facing workflows and support automation tools that reduce customer effort and improve resolution time.
- 5+ years of experience leading Engineering teams that build products used daily by Support engineers, SREs, or developers.
