Please review the following job description:

In this role you innovate in a team building an AInative Internal Developer Platform where agentic AI and GitOps converge to reinvent developer experience. We’re moving beyond humanonly workflows to autonomous, agentdriven delivery that learns, documents, tests, and ships with minimal friction—so engineers can focus on higherorder problem solving. You’ll help shape paved paths that are secure by default, observable by design, and delightful to use.

You’ll productize a GitOpsfirst, Ansiblepowered automation factory across OpenShift/Kubernetes, GitLab, Argo CD, Backstage, and OpenTelemetry. Expect to design reusable templates, policyascode guardrails, and autonomous runbooks that compress lead time from days to minutes. If you love turning complex platforms into elegant self-service and are excited by AI agents that code, document, and operate alongside humans, let’s build the next era of delivery together.

What success looks like: within months, your golden paths are the default for new services, most changes flow through GitOps with Ansiblepowered automation, and agentic assistants reliably generate docs/tests and handle routine ops. Lead time shrinks, noisy alerts drop, and platform SLOs remain steady—clear, measurable improvements that teams choose because they work.

• Performs problem tracking, diagnosis and root-cause analysis, replication, troubleshooting, and resolution for complex issues. In this capacity, performs programming and debugging activities.
• Responds to issues in a timely manner by receiving and investigating incidents or service tickets.
• Analyzes and observes trends with technical issues and develops recommendations for long- term improvements.
• Documents all relevant end-user interactions and steps taken to resolve incidents.
• Has occasional contact with end-users.
• Communicates status of issue resolution to internal customers.
• May engage and manage outside vendors.
• Applies in-depth knowledge of application support and an understanding of best practices.
• Typically leads moderately complex projects and participates in larger, more complex initiatives.
• Solves complex technical and operational problems.
• Acts as a resource for teammates with less experience.
• May have people management responsibilities for a small team.
