  • Support the Solution Architect in evaluating technical options and sizing automation candidates

  • Work within Agile ceremonies (standups, sprint planning, retrospectives) and contribute to team velocity and delivery commitments

  • Document automations, workflows, and technical decisions in a way that supports handoff, audit, and future maintenance

Required Qualifications
