o contextual help and troubleshooting,

o intelligent code generation,

o documentation summarization and augmentation,

o automated onboarding and service scaffolding,

o infrastructure insights and recommendations.

• Build and maintain AI toolchains involving embeddings, vector stores, RAG pipelines, and internal knowledge search.

Strengthen DevSecOps Practices Across the Platform

• Embed secure-by-default standards into Backstage software templates.

• Integrate security automation—including SAST, SCA, DAST, SBOM generation, and policy-as-code—into developer workflows.

• Enable automated guardrails via Backstage plugins and catalog policies.

Collaborate Across Teams to Drive Adoption

• Partner closely with the Golden Path team, platform engineering, cloud teams, and security to ensure a cohesive end-to-end experience.

• Advocate for DX improvements and drive adoption through demos, documentation, training, and developer outreach.

• Act as subject matter expert on Backstage and AI-driven developer experiences.
