I have a desire to use a Webex bot, likely from a Jenkins scheduled job, to alert members on my team (about a dozen engineers) of situations. I created a bot and can use the messages REST API to send a message to someone but it occurs to me that this bot is tied to only me and poses problems:

Thanks for your reply. I will explore creating a placeholder user for my team.

In general, a bot (or other type of Webex app), is owned by - and can only be managed by - the creating user. Having the bot access token is not enough to be able to manage the bot. It may make sense to create a place-holder Webex user for use by a team (e.g. with credentials known to the team members) working with a bot. (This idea is a bit theoretical, and foibles of the backing user identity system - CI/AD/etc. - may make this tricky.)
However, org admins can transfer ownership of the bot/app via https://applications.webexbots.cloud/
