- Remediate and replace point-to-point vendor integrations with documented, maintainable solutions
- Develop and maintain the ETL and ELT pipelines supporting reporting and analytics
- Develop code for internal APIs, with support from our back-end developer
- Monitor integration and pipeline health, diagnose failures, and resolve them
- Provide integration support during new platform implementations, including assessment of how a new system connects to the existing environment
- Enable business users to build their own automations within defined governance standards
Qualifications

- Working knowledge of API authentication and security, including API keys, Basic and Bearer auth, OAuth 2.0, and HMAC signing
- Working knowledge of idempotency and retry safety in integration design, including correct handling of duplicate message delivery, retries, and dead letter queues
- Understanding of the tradeoffs between event-driven and synchronous integration patterns, and between batch polling and publish/subscribe models
- Working knowledge of the OpenAPI specification (3.0+)
- Familiarity with large-data principles such as partitioning, replication, and incremental loads
- Familiarity with data cataloging, classification, lineage, and quality control
- Experience with ETL or ELT development, and with version control using Git and GitHub, including pull request workflows

- Hands-on software development capability; familiarity with low-code automation tools such as n8n is expected, but proficiency limited to those platforms is not sufficient for this position
- Ability to assess and remediate accumulated technical debt across undocumented integrations
- Effective oral and written communication skills, including the ability to explain technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders
