Own well-defined capabilities from design through testing, rollout, and production support.
Develop stable, self-service interfaces for defining agents, connecting tools, and extending platform behaviour.
Improve reliability, performance, observability, and developer experience.
Investigate failures across distributed services and agent execution flows.
Collaborate with product and platform teams and participate in code and design reviews.
Participate in on-call and turn operational learning into lasting improvements.
