- 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.

- 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.
