• Participate in on-call rotation, monthly maintenance windows, and platform lifecycle tasks to ensure platform reliability.

Leadership & Collaboration

• Mentor mid-level and junior developers, conducting code reviews and sharing architectural knowledge to elevate team capability.
• Work with customers and stakeholders to understand integration needs and translate business requirements into robust engineering solutions.
• Collaborate with partner engineering teams to drive efficiencies across the organization and contribute to best practices.
• Maintain strong documentation and actively contribute to team knowledge sharing.
• Work effectively in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities, balancing support work, ad hoc requests, and project deliverables.
