About the Role

The Integrations team is at the heart of this mission, powering seamless data exchange between Choco and wholesalers’ ERP systems.

• Develop and maintain integration adapters to ensure reliable data conversion and synchronization of catalogs, orders, pricing, and inventory.
• Architect and optimize scalable solutions and automation to improve integration performance, reliability, and time‑to‑go‑live.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with Solution Engineers and Product teams to troubleshoot integration challenges and deliver smooth customer go‑lives.
• Monitor, test, and continuously improve system performance, observability, and developer experience through high‑quality documentation and agile delivery.

What you bring

• Deep understanding of microservices architecture, event‑driven systems, and API design principles.
• Proven track record building and maintaining RESTful or GraphQL APIs with a focus on scalability and backward compatibility.
• Hands‑on experience with integration patterns, data synchronization, and operating software at scale.
• Strong problem‑solving, documentation, and collaboration skills – you take ownership from design to deployment in agile environments.

Nice to Have

• Experience with NestJS or similar modern backend frameworks.
• Background working with ERP systems, integration platforms, or iPaaS solutions.
• Familiarity with n8n or other workflow automation tools.
• Understanding of e‑commerce data models (catalogs, orders, inventory) and public API design.
• Hands‑on experience with observability tools (e.g., Datadog, New Relic) and awareness of SOC2 compliance best practices.
• Contributions to open‑source projects or developer communities.
