As a senior member of a global team, you work closely with engineers, information developers, localization specialists, DevOps, and other cross-functional stakeholders in an Agile, agentic-first environment. You lead the design and evolution of automation frameworks, reduce manual effort at scale, improve system reliability, and enable end-to-end workflows through API integrations, scripting, CI/CD, and AI-enabled automation.

What you will do:

• Lead the design and implementation of automation supporting workflows across the documentation and software development lifecycle, including content creation, validation, publishing, UI localization, translation, and delivery.

• Design, build, and operate production-grade agents, skills, scripts, and automation pipelines that replace complex, manual, and repetitive processes across documentation, localization, and language operations.

• Architect and integrate systems across documentation, localization, and content platforms using MCPs and REST APIs to enable reliable, scalable, and secure end-to-end workflows.

• Apply AI and LLM-based capabilities to generate, validate, transform, enrich, and manage content in alignment with approved security, privacy, and compliance standards.

• Own the reliability, performance, and maintainability of automation systems through monitoring, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.

• Define and contribute to standards, patterns, and reusable components that support consistent and scalable automation practices.

• Mentor team members through technical guidance, design reviews, and knowledge sharing.

• Partner cross-functionally to advance automation maturity, innovation, and AI-assisted documentation and localization workflows.

• Other duties may be assigned.

What we are looking for:

• BA/BS degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• 5+ years of experience in automation engineering, software engineering, or systems integration, preferably supporting developer platforms, documentation, localization, or content operations.

• Strong proficiency in Python, with experience building maintainable, testable, production-grade automation and agent frameworks.

• Advanced experience with Git-based workflows such as GitHub, including pull requests, code reviews, and repository automation.

• Experience with work-tracking and planning tools such as Jira, Linear, or similar systems.

• Strong understanding of CI/CD concepts and tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.

• Due to collaboration with global teams, flexibility in working hours (including late afternoon meetings) will be required.

AI Skills / Knowledge:

• Strong experience using AI-assisted engineering tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) with awareness of responsible AI practices including security, privacy, bias, and traceability.

• Proven ability to design and operate production automation using Python and REST APIs.

• Hands-on experience building and maintaining automation pipelines using Git-based CI/CD systems.

• Demonstrated experience integrating LLMs via APIs to automate documentation and language operations.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience designing or operating multi-agent or tool-orchestrated AI workflows at scale, including coordination and failure recovery.

• Experience owning or evolving shared automation frameworks used across multiple products or teams.

• Familiarity with observability, metrics, and cost tracking for AI-driven automation systems.
