Standards & Best Practice: Define and enforce integration standards, API contracts, versioning strategies, authentication/authorisation approaches and data mapping guidelines.
Operational Reliability: Ensure high availability and resilience of integration services, implement monitoring, alerting and tracing, and lead incident response for integration-related issues.
Code Quality & Review: Perform and drive thorough code reviews, promote clean code, testing and automation, and ensure delivery meets security and performance requirements.
Collaboration & Stakeholder Management: Work closely with Product Owners, Business Analysts, QA, DevOps and third-party partners to capture requirements, plan releases and coordinate onboarding of new integrations.
Mentoring & Team Enablement: Lead and mentor integration engineers, support technical growth, assist with task breakdown, estimation and career development.
Documentation: Maintain clear technical documentation for integration architectures, API specifications, onboarding guides and runbooks.
