- Maintain deep knowledge of the business workflows and regulatory context behind each automation in the portfolio
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of automation developers (Level I-III), setting direction and elevating technical standards across the stack
- Conduct meaningful code reviews with substantive feedback-use them as a lever to raise team-wide standards, not just catch bugs
- Step in to write or debug production code when the team needs support or when velocity or quality is at risk
- Build a culture of ownership, continuous improvement, and high accountability

- Enforce enterprise standards for APIs, orchestration, event-driven systems, and application integrations across the automation portfolio
- Architect scalable automation platforms using Python, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL
- Establish and drive team adoption of best practices for orchestration frameworks (Temporal.io, Dagster) and event-driven design patterns
- Drive adoption of monitoring and observability standards (Grafana, Loki) across the portfolio and establish runbooks for production incident response
- Continuously evaluate emerging technologies and establish new best practices for automation design and delivery
- Partner with product, business, and IT leaders to translate strategic goals into enterprise-ready automation solutions-owning requirements definition, delivery accountability, and outcome measurement
- Deliver executive-level presentations and demos, aligning automation capabilities and roadmap with business outcomes
- Communicate proactively: surface risks, decisions, and status to leadership without being asked-treat the portfolio like it is your own business
- Represent the automation team in cross-functional conversations with Architecture, Data, and Product, ensuring your team's work fits within the broader technical strategy
- Leverage AI tools-including Claude-as a daily force multiplier for planning, documentation, requirements analysis, and decision support

- Exceptional communication and executive presence-equally confident in technical architecture reviews and stakeholder or leadership conversations
- Demonstrated success in high-growth environments where adaptability and rapid execution are essential
