Improving a Jira intake workflow so requests are validated and routed correctly before execution

Ability to write production‑quality code in Python or a similar backend language

Comfort working with operational processes, tickets/requests, and cross‑functional stakeholders

Experience with APIs, scripting, and debugging distributed systems issues
