· Design and productize Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) interfaces for exception handling, run management, and control center UIs.
· Work closely with healthcare operations and business teams to translate manual, legacy workflows into automated, agent-driven use  cases.
· Ensure functional completeness, reliability, and security of delivered automated services.
Agile Product Delivery
· Own, prioritize, and groom the product backlog based on business value, technical dependencies, and platform scaling needs.
· Lead Sprint Planning, Backlog Grooming, Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives within an Agile framework.
· Translate high-level AI and automation architecture goals into clear, measurable, and testable user stories with robust acceptance criteria.
· Act as the primary functional point of contact to resolve queries for  the engineering, data, and QA teams during development cycles.
Stakeholder Management & Validation
· Coordinate across business, operations, compliance, and technology stakeholders to ensure platform alignment.
· Conduct technical and functional product demonstrations, gathering feedback to drive feature sign-offs.
· Define business acceptance criteria and actively support System Integration Testing (SIT) and User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
· Validate workflow outputs, state management, logging accuracy, and compliance posture against rigorous healthcare standards.
Required Skills & Qualifications Core Experience

· Proven track record of managing multiple complex technical workstreams simultaneously.
· Strong technical documentation skills (User Stories, PRDs, Functional Flow Diagrams).
Agentic AI & Advanced Automation Architecture
· Agentic AI Product Thinking: Deep understanding of how LLMs, AI agents, tools, memory, and orchestration layers (e.g., LangGraph, Temporal) combine to complete complex, multi-step enterprise tasks.
· Hybrid Automation Familiarity: Experience defining requirements for mixed automation layers, spanning modern browser automation (Playwright), desktop/Citrix environments, and legacy systems (Mainframe/Terminal automation).
· Backend & Platform Depth: Strong familiarity with FastAPI services, Python automation ecosystems, relational databases  (PostgreSQL), and event-driven architectures.
· Platform Mindset: Experience building reusable capabilities, microservices, standards, and structured logging/observability frameworks that support multiple business use cases.
