- Participate in incident, problem, and change-management activities as appropriate; contribute to root-cause learning and continuous-improvement efforts.
- Use AI-enabled tools responsibly to accelerate research, documentation, analysis, and routine work while validating results, protecting sensitive information, and maintaining human accountability.
- Collaborate with infrastructure engineers, security, architecture, application teams, service management, vendors, and business partners.
