• Safely integrate and operate AI/ML‑enabled solutions that improve outcomes, including familiarity with AI-driven systems, tools, or workflows and applying AI/ML concepts to real world products.
• Lead incident response, problem management, and post-incident reviews, using data and metrics to drive continuous operational excellence across services and platforms.
