• Lead the technical discovery phases for new partner onboarding by drafting architecture documents, defining integration approaches across services, and contributing to multiple codebases.
• Ensure production stability of partner integration touchpoints through alert triaging, failure investigation, escalation handling, and collaboration with platform teams for resolutions.
• Work closely with product managers, stakeholders, and partner engineers to translate shifting requirements into effective technical implementations, managing scope and escalating when needed.

• Expertise in designing APIs and implementing bespoke third-party integrations, handling batch processing, file exchanges (S3), and event-driven architectures.
• Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS), containerization tools (Docker, Kubernetes), continuous integration/deployment pipelines, relational databases (PostgreSQL), NoSQL (MongoDB), and data modeling techniques.
• Comfortable working in ambiguous environments where requirements evolve through collaboration rather than fixed documentation.
• Excellent communication abilities, capable of creating technical documents and articulating architectural decisions clearly to diverse audiences.
