- Lead hands-on development using REST/SOAP APIs, MuleSoft, Boomi, Informatica, or other enterprise integration platforms; set implementation standards for the team.
- Conduct code reviews, enforce coding standards, and ensure integration solutions meet performance, scalability, security, and compliance requirements.
- Analyze the existing integration landscape (connectors, middleware, data flows, and SLAs) and propose modernization approaches — API-first, event-driven, middleware consolidation, or cloud-native patterns — with migration impact and roll-out plans.
- 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.
