- Ensure integrations are well-designed, maintainable, and aligned with platform, security, and product standards.
- Collaborate closely with Developer Platform and Cognition teams to land changes cleanly and sustainably.
- Own engineering documentation that supports Strategic Partnerships, external partners, and internal engineers throughout integration work.
- Build and maintain reference architectures, integration guides, and design patterns that reduce ambiguity and rework.
