• Partner with business owners to confirm integration requirements, SLAs, and data-handling expectations
• Monitor integration health, performance, throughput, and error rates across production and non-production environments
• Diagnose and correct failures such as authentication errors (OAuth/token issues), payload/schema mismatches, rate-limits, and vendor outages
• Implement and maintain alerting, structured logging, dead-letter patterns, idempotency, and retry/backoff strategies to reduce incidents
• Serve as the primary escalation point for integration-related incidents; lead root-cause analysis and post-incident improvements
• Create runbooks and operational playbooks to support consistent triage and resolution
• Maintain integration capacity and operational service levels as demand and transaction volume increase
• Tune workflows and API calls to improve latency, reduce unnecessary calls, and manage concurrency and queueing effectively

• Design, build, and deploy intelligent workflow components using LLMs and AI tools for tasks such as classification, extraction, summarization, routing, enrichment, and decision support
• Develop AI-driven agents and orchestrations that connect systems, validate business rules, and reduce repetitive manual steps
• Balance speed and innovation with guardrails—ensuring security, privacy, auditability, and quality are maintained in AI-enabled workflows
• Evaluate existing integrations for efficiency opportunities, resilience improvements, and AI conversion/expansion potential
• Refactor legacy workflows to improve maintainability, observability, and performance; reduce brittle logic and duplicated patterns
• Introduce reusable components, standardized templates, and governance for shared automations
• Recommend platform and architecture improvements (e.g., event-driven patterns, queueing, caching, secure secrets management) as appropriate to the business
• Support vendor evaluations, proofs-of-concept, and technical due diligence for new integration and automation tooling
• Partner with stakeholders to clarify requirements, map processes, and define success metrics for automation projects
• Communicate clearly during incidents and changes; provide status updates, tradeoffs, and timelines
• Maintain organized documentation and change logs within company collaboration tools (e.g., Teams/SharePoint) to reduce tribal knowledge Skills
• 3+ years of experience in API development, systems integration, automation engineering, or a closely related role
• Demonstrated ability to build and maintain production integrations with strong reliability and troubleshooting discipline

• Strong understanding of REST APIs, webhooks, and authentication methods (OAuth2, tokens, API keys)
• Working proficiency in at least one scripting language (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar) for API interaction and automation logic
• Experience implementing AI/LLM capabilities inside operational workflows (not just experimentation)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to work across technical and non-technical teams
