• Lead and support PX system release cycles, including integration testing, cutover, and post‑implementation stabilization
• Proactively monitor integrations, troubleshoot complex issues, and continuously improve operational resiliency
• Mentor and guide other developers—elevating overall team capability and technical maturity
• Stay current on emerging integration trends, including cloud platforms, APIs, and AI/LLM‑enabled solutions
• Strong ability to perform root cause analysis and effectively manage and resolve incidents.

• Experience contributing to or influencing enterprise system architecture decisions
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage both technical and non‑technical stakeholders. 
• Self‑directed, disciplined, and comfortable operating with a high level of ownership
