About The Position

As an API Integration Specialist, you will play a crucial role in our Professional Services team, serving as the bridge between Brightflag’s customers and our development team. You will be responsible for engaging with customers to understand their integration requirements (primarily with Accounts Payable and related systems), designing robust and scalable solutions, and guiding integrations through configuration, testing, and deployment.
