  • Write clean, testable, and efficient code, with an emphasis on maintainability and adherence to architectural guidance.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to system integration, performance, and interoperability.
  • Contribute to technical documentation for connector services and integration points.
  • Work closely with QA engineers to ensure robust unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.

  • Experience with integration and connector development to external/vendor systems.
  • Familiarity with Agile / SAFe methodologies, including participation in PI planning.
  • Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines, Git-based workflows, and test automation frameworks.
  • Knowledge of Docker/Kubernetes or other containerization/orchestration platforms.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with an ability to work independently and within teams.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in warehouse automation, controls integration, or logistics software.
  • Familiarity with Camunda, orchestration engines, or workflow-driven architectures.
  • Exposure to front-end integration (React, Angular, or Vue) to understand connector impact on UI.
