- Collaborate across US and India-based engineering teams to ensure alignment and execution.
- Own the performance, monitoring, and reliability of integration systems.
- Proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks, data inconsistencies, and failure points.
- Improve the experience for both internal teams and external partners by building intuitive, well-documented, and reliable integration workflows and tooling.
- Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code while setting standards for the team.
- Contribute directly to critical parts of the system.
- Support and mentor engineers through technical guidance, collaboration, and code reviews.
- Help foster a high-performing engineering culture.
