Basic workflow engineering abilities, including working with APIs, webhooks, and SaaS integrations.
Familiarity with Microsoft 365 (Teams, SharePoint, Outlook) and identity fundamentals.
Basic knowledge of AI platforms (Copilot, GPT, Gemini) and prompt‑based steps.
Comfort working with JSON, API calls, tokens, and basic logging.
Eagerness to learn automation architecture and AI‑driven workflow concepts.
Strong attention to detail and consistency in following standards.
Ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

Build and modify workflows following established architecture and coding standards.
Apply naming conventions, error handling patterns, and retry logic as trained.
Support optimization efforts by identifying simple improvements.
Participate in workflow reviews for low to moderate complexity automations.
Implement AI‑assisted workflow steps (e.g., structured prompts, enrichment steps) with senior guidance.
Follow defined criteria to select the appropriate automation environment (n8n, Power Automate, Copilot Studio).
Help maintain reusable components and workflow templates.
Follow documented security practices for credentials and API access.
Assist in applying guardrails such as input validation, prompt hygiene, and rate‑limit controls.
Participate in basic checks for anomalous workflow execution.
Monitor dashboards and report workflow failures or unusual patterns.
Log incidents and support root‑cause analysis efforts led by senior members.
Contribute to updating documentation that improves reliability and maintainability.
Work with Operations, Dev, Security, Data, and Business teams to gather requirements and clarify workflow needs.
Support internal users by explaining workflow functionality or helping them run simple automations.
Join standups, planning sessions, and design discussions as a supporting contributor.
