• Take part in feature definition, prioritisation and long-term strategy planning with the platform team
• Work with Implementation Managers, Product Managers and Engineers to make product and project decisions
• Design and develop new features and expose them on the public API where needed
• Help scale the platform into new regions and solve the challenges that come with it
• Improve the integration experience through documentation, APIs, SDKs, code samples and reference implementations
• Work with the technical presales team to support the sales cycle and win new partnerships
• Improve internal processes so the team can run multiple integrations in parallel
• Troubleshoot, test and resolve technical issues, supporting the API support team on complex problems

Why this role

• Ownership. You'll have the freedom to define the vision and the responsibility for making it happen.

• Travel. You'll collaborate with colleagues across the company's global offices and visit partners across North America.

What we're looking for

• Strong problem-solving and organisational skills, with the ability to handle ambiguity and competing priorities

• Familiarity with common design patterns and architectural principles, including domain-driven design, event-driven architecture and microservices

• Familiarity with Java (Spring), Kubernetes, AWS and service mesh architectures, plus RESTful APIs, API design, Swagger/OpenAPI and OAuth2

• Strong self-management, including running your own projects and deals and prioritising across multiple workstreams
