• You build and maintain integrations with enterprise systems and SaaS applications, including OAuth, webhooks, SDKs, API clients, and data ingestion pipelines.

• You have practical experience with LLM or agentic application patterns, such as tool calling, orchestration, state management, retrieval, evaluation, or observability.
• You are fluent in English and able to communicate technical topics clearly with engineers, FDEs, and client stakeholders; additional local language skills are a plus.
