• Hands-on leadership: While not a full-time developer role, be capable of jumping into the code and logs when necessary to troubleshoot issues and guide solutions.

• Explain implementation strategies at a high level to business and technical stakeholders. 

• Dive deep into logs and code to triage and resolve issues. 

• Walk through real-world examples of your problem-solving process. 

• Define and enforce best practices to ensure scalable and secure integrations.
