•    Develop and execute unit and integration testing and support user acceptance testing (UAT), production deployment, and post-implementation validation of automation solutions.
•    Independently troubleshoot complex bot failures and production issues, conduct root-cause analysis, and develop sustainable technical solutions to prevent recurrence.
•    Work directly with functional and technical stakeholders to identify opportunities for automation and help translate loosely defined business problems into actionable technical requirements and solution approaches.
