• Collaborate with engineering teams to build scalable, stable backend solutions that align with internal platform standards.
• Implement AI-native solutions for anomaly detection in pricing, automated issue handling, and partner data mapping.
• Work closely with commercial and partner success teams to onboard new supply sources and resolve performance gaps in availability or functionality.
• Standardize integration processes to improve the scalability of partner onboarding and operational efficiency.
• Communicate progress, technical hurdles, and performance results to cross-functional stakeholders across the business.

Qualifications
