    • Work with webhooks, ETL processes, and data synchronization workflows
    • Translate customer technical requirements into clear specifications for the integrations engineering team

    • Evaluate technical tradeoffs between different methods for syncing large volumes of customer data
    • Build repeatable implementation processes and technical playbooks
    • Create documentation for recurring integration workflows and troubleshooting procedures
    • Improve the company's implementation methodology as the customer base scales
    • Help establish best practices for customer onboarding and technical delivery
    • Take ownership of customer issues from investigation through resolution
    • Communicate technical risks, blockers, and project status clearly to customers and internal stakeholders
    • Work closely with engineering to escalate and resolve complex technical issues
