Description and Requirements
- Monitoring & Observability experiences (modern dashboards, subsystem-aware views, cross-domain correlation).
- Drive capabilities that improve diagnosis and guided resolution (e.g., plain-language explanations and next-step recommendations).
- Automation & Console Management, including API-enabled and orchestration-ready operational workflows.
- Telemetry streaming and enterprise pipeline integration (e.g., data streaming into observability platforms and OTEL enablement).
- Portfolio initiatives such as Capacity and Discovery modernization as part of the broader AMI Ops roadmap focus.
- Expanding observability and visualization, improving time-to-diagnosis and time-to-resolution outcomes.
- Infusing AI assistance into core workflows (explanations, recommended actions, and safe automation), progressing toward early agentic capabilities.
- Enabling open ecosystem telemetry through standards-based integration including Open Telemetry (OTEL) so mainframe operations can participate in enterprise observability platforms.

- Own product outcomes for AI-driven capabilities such as faster diagnosis and resolution via explainability and recommended next steps, and progression toward monitored/safe automation.
- Partner across the portfolio to adopt platform-level enablers for agentic workflows.
- Lead the strategy to extend enterprise observability to the mainframe by embracing open standards and enabling ingestion/export of telemetry into modern observability ecosystems.
- Drive roadmap alignment for OTEL telemetry support (metrics first, with broader signals over time) in ways that are performant, secure, and easy to adopt.
- Position AMI Ops as a key participant in cross-system correlation and root-cause workflows that span mainframe and distributed environments.
- Lead a cross-functional operating cadence with Engineering, UX, Support, Sales, and Customer Success to deliver roadmap commitments and customer outcomes.
- Ensure product readiness across delivery—modern UX, dashboards, telemetry pipelines, automation APIs, and integration points—while balancing innovation and operational quality.
