Responsibilities

  • Set technical direction for AI-enabled workflow automation across build, CI, testing, and release.
  • Build agent harnesses and integrations with GitLab, Jira, test results, logs, and observability data.
  • Develop evaluation methods to measure automation effectiveness while preserving correctness.
  • Define guardrails, autonomy standards, human review points, and auditability requirements for AI systems.
