- Troubleshoot complex integration issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement corrective actions.
- Mentor and guide developers on Salesforce integration patterns, platform best practices, and coding standards.
- Produce and maintain implementation-level documentation including integration flow diagrams, API mappings, runbooks, and test plans.
- Coordinate with QA, DevOps, and release management teams to support testing, deployment, and production support activities.
