• Customer Communication Systems: Build automated communication systems that provide timely updates and maintain high satisfaction standards throughout the support lifecycle.
• Self-Service Enhancement: Develop and optimize AI-driven chatbot interactions and self-service options that resolve GenAI evaluation and observability questions independently.
• Data Analysis & Insights: Analyze support performance data and customer interaction patterns to derive insights and continuously optimize automation effectiveness.
• Knowledge Base Automation: Create and maintain intelligent documentation systems and knowledge bases that automatically surface relevant technical content for GenAI application challenges.

• Automation Platform Experience: Proven expertise in automating workflows with webhooks, middleware tools (e.g., Workato, Mulesoft, Tray.io), and event-driven automation platforms.
• Technical Problem-Solving: Strong understanding of software platforms, APIs, and technical troubleshooting, with ability to understand and resolve complex issues related to GenAI applications.
• Communication Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with ability to explain technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Customer-Centric Mindset: Passionate about delivering exceptional customer experiences and solving customer problems through innovative automation solutions.
