As a Sr. App Integration Engineer you will be responsible for designing and implementing asynchronous and synchronous patterns, developing integrations levering AWS and a number of other responsibilities on our fast parsed Enterprise Systems team. This role will be located in Palo Alto, CA and report to our Sr. Manager, Integration Engineering.

• Strong proficiency in programming languages like Java, Python, or Node.js.

• An innovative, out-of-the-box thinker with strong organizational skills and a "product mindset" toward integration.
