Experience integrating forms with enterprise applications, workflow systems, content platforms, communication services, identity providers, and external APIs.
Knowledge of form security, data protection, accessibility and WCAG, performance optimization, localization, analytics, and production support.
Ability to translate journey, data, and workflow requirements into reusable form architecture and collaborate across functional and technical teams.

If you know some of this even better
