- Collaborate with infrastructure, cloud, DevOps, service desk, security, and application teams to gather requirements and validate solutions.
- Document automation logic, prerequisites, access requirements, runbooks, support procedures, and known limitations.
- Perform unit, integration, regression, and operational testing before release.
