Essential Functions

What You’Ll Do

• Map the developer journey (onboarding, CI/CD, build/test, deploy, incident review); identify bottlenecks and define “golden paths.”

How You’Ll Work

• Rapid discovery‑to‑pilot using approved AI tools for research synthesis, prompt design, mock data, and quick UI/CLI concepts.
• Own a scoped lifecycle: from problem statement to pilot, with clear docs, dashboards, and runbooks for handoff.

Deliverables

• Current/future‑state maps with prioritized AI/automation opportunities.
• 1–2 validated AI copilots/assistants with prompts, evaluation criteria, and risks.
