  • Work with cloud architects and engineering teams to ensure that automation aligns with broader cloud infrastructure strategies. You’ll contribute to planning and improving cloud resource utilization through automation.
Maintain Comprehensive Documentation:
  • Document automation workflows, scripts, and best practices. You’ll create user guides and technical documentation to support team members and enable knowledge sharing.
