- Integrate the DXP with external enterprise systems (eg, e-commerce, Digital Asset Management, Product Information Management, analytics, personalization engines) through APIs and connectors, enabling a unified and personalized digital customer experience.
- Lead and participate in all phases of the agile development lifecycle for DXP-related solutions, including requirements analysis, iterative development, automated testing, continuous integration, code reviews, deployment, and production support, with a focus on quality, performance, and reliability.
- Proactively troubleshoot and resolve complex issues in the DXP environment, debugging integration points and optimizing content retrieval and delivery performance in production.
- Serve as a technical leader in DXP engineering within the team, mentoring junior engineers, and contributing to decisions on DXP technology and design.
