- Surface security, reliability and data integrity risks and drive them to resolution through governance forums.
- Advise engineering, data, AI, product and business stakeholders, and work closely with Data Engineering, Security, Infrastructure and Architecture.
What you'll bring
- Senior experience designing and building data integrations at scale across custom, SaaS and PaaS.
- Hands-on depth across multiple integration patterns, plus .NET and C#.
- Working knowledge of iPaaS, event-driven architecture and bi-directional sync.
- A track record of leading through influence and setting technical standards in a complex enterprise.
- Strong grasp of integration security, identity, observability and data governance in regulated, global settings.
