• Implement event contracts, routing, retries, dead‑letter queues, idempotency, replay, and observability patterns.
• Design, develop, and support REST APIs, SOAP services, internal interfaces, and third‑party integrations.
• Integrate applications with platforms such as Salesforce, Workday, NetSuite, LMS, ERP, commerce, and payment systems.
• Implement secure authentication, validation, versioning, rate limiting, error handling, logging, and lifecycle controls.
• Develop reusable service clients, integration utilities, and technical documentation.

DevOps, Testing & Production Operations

• Build and improve CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and release controls using GitHub and GitHub Actions.
• Develop unit, integration, API, regression, and performance tests.
• Implement logging, metrics, tracing, dashboards, alerts, and runbooks.
• Participate in deployments, incident response, root‑cause analysis, and production defect resolution.
• Use approved AI coding assistants and automation tools for development, testing, documentation, troubleshooting, and analysis.
• Apply appropriate human review, security, testing, and validation to AI‑assisted outputs.
• Explore agentic programming patterns where appropriate while maintaining engineering rigor, security, and accountability.
• Mentor developers through pair programming, code reviews, technical demonstrations, and hands‑on problem solving.
• Collaborate with Product, QA, Architecture, Platform Engineering, Security, Infrastructure, Data, and application teams.
• Contribute to estimation, sprint planning, technical roadmaps, and delivery risk management.
