DESCRIPTION
- Brief description of the department’s mission:
The Integration Platform Team designs, builds, and monitors secure API and middleware connections to synchronize data, automate workflows, and link disparate legacy and cloud systems. The integration patterns defined by our architect are selected to meet the applications’ use cases and are updated regularly to support new requirements. The team manages the creation and maintenance of secure API connections, middleware orchestrations, and real-time data streaming architectures alongside high-performance file transfer solutions.
YOUR CHALLENGES
Vision: Own the technical roadmap for our integration ecosystem. Design highly resilient, scalable, and secure development patterns (Event-Driven, Sync/Async APIs, batch processing).
Technical Leadership: Lead by example. Write clean, production-ready code for core platform components, conduct rigorous code reviews, and establish engineering best practices.
Developer Advocacy: Treat internal developers as your primary customers. Drive the adoption of standard schemas, self-service APIs, and robust documentation to maximize developer velocity.
Observability & Resilience: Ensure the platform is bulletproof. Build out distributed tracing, advanced monitoring, and automated self-healing mechanisms to minimize blast radius and MTTR (Mean Time to Resolution).
Mentorship & Growth: Actively coach, mentor, and level up a dedicated team of integration engineers.
