Description

  • Design, build, test, deploy, and monitor production automations and user interfaces that remove manual steps and reduce operation time.
  • Partner with frontend engineers to productize operations tooling for global teams.
  • Execute operational procedures to identify painful manual processes before automating them.
  • Instrument and report baseline and outcome metrics, then iterate based on measured impact.
  • Produce Platform Opportunity Briefs and RFCs for broader platform tooling and automations.
  • Collaborate with brokerage leadership, Compliance, and Security to build safe, auditable automations with role-based access and clear runbooks.

  • Experience with observability, tracing, and continuous profiling.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and cross-functional communication skills.
