Enhance Webex telemetry systems to enable analytics, observability, and continuous improvement.
Use Cisco-approved AI-assisted software engineering tools and agents, such as Codex, Claude, or similar technologies, throughout the software development lifecycle—from requirements analysis and design through implementation, testing, code review, documentation, deployment, monitoring, and incident response.
Apply human judgment when using AI-generated content by validating code, designs, tests, documentation, and recommendations for correctness, security, privacy, performance, maintainability, and licensing or intellectual-property considerations.
Serve as a gatekeeper for high-quality code, designs, architecture, and practical approaches to scale.
Create alignment across product teams, architectural decisions, and implementation.
Contribute to a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous learning.
