- Partner with core engineering teams to align system boundaries and architectural standards.
- Design high-scale integration patterns focused on retries, idempotency, reconciliation, and deep observability.
- Replace brittle, no-code integrations (like Zapier) with robust, engineered, code-based solutions.
- Implement Enterprise Best Practices.
- Leverage deep Salesforce expertise to develop sophisticated, code-driven integrations rather than standard administrative configurations.
- Establish a robust CI/CD pipeline for integration management, prioritizing configuration-as-code over manual, "click-based" changes in production environments.
