  • Demonstrated experience designing and delivering integration solutions across SaaS, cloud, packaged, ERP, and internally developed applications.
  • Experience supporting large-scale, highly integrated, business-critical production platforms and services.
  • Ability to independently lead complex technical initiatives across multiple applications and cross-functional teams, including design, development, testing, implementation, risk management, deployment, and post-production support.
  • Technical leadership and engineering judgment, including experience leading design and code reviews, mentoring developers, establishing standards, and influencing technical direction.
  • Troubleshooting, debugging, and root-cause analysis across applications, APIs, integrations, messaging technologies, databases, infrastructure, and cloud services.
  • Communication and stakeholder-management skills to communicate technical decisions, alternatives, risks, dependencies, and recommendations.
  • Experience working in a fast-paced Agile environment with concurrent platform, project-delivery, production-support, and modernization priorities.
