What are your main responsibilities within your current role?
Day-to-day responsibilities include monitoring existing integrations and providing fixes for anything that might be broken. A lot of our issues stem from invalid data types.
This can happen when a system expects an integer or number, but instead receives a text field, or what we call a string. It also involves making minor adjustments to existing integrations.
We also explore new integrations and possibilities. This could include onboarding upcoming systems or integrating existing systems with our data warehouse or another third-party system.
Ultimately, project planning, monitoring, and lots of testing, along with minor code changes, are all part of the day-to-day work.
