- Develop new integrations: Building bi-directional data exchange interfaces using APIs, Direct Database Connections, Web Parsers, RPAs.
- Add new features to existing integrations.
- Maintain existing integrations.
- Refactor and improve architecture design of existing integrations.
- Collaborate with Founders and Product Team to maintain a high bar for quality in a fast-paced, iterative environment.
- Advocate for improvements to product quality, security, and performance.
- Propose and implement architecture decisions geared towards product scalability and reliability.
- Craft code that meets our internal standards for style, maintainability, and best practices for a high-scale web environment.
- Maintain and advocate for these standards through code review.
- Recognize impediments to our efficiency as a team ("technical debt"), propose and implement solutions.
