About this role
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Integration Design & Development • Design and build Workato recipes integrating enterprise apps (SAP, Salesforce, Dynamics 365, ServiceNow, Shopify, and custom APIs) • Develop end-to-end integration patterns: point-to-point, hub-and-spoke, publish-subscribe, and event-driven architectures • Translate business process flows into maintainable Workato recipes with proper error handling and retry logic • Build custom connectors using Workato's Connector SDK where off-the-shelf connectors are insufficient

3. Data Transformation & Orchestration • Write complex data transformations using Workato's formula language, Ruby snippets, and JSON/XML manipulation • Orchestrate multi-step workflows with conditional branching, loops, lookups, and parallel execution • Ensure data integrity across integrations — handle deduplication, upsert logic, and conflict resolution • Implement real-time and batch integration patterns based on business latency requirements
4. Monitoring, Reliability & Support • Set up job monitoring, alerts, and dashboards to proactively detect integration failures • Define and meet SLAs for integration uptime and data freshness across critical business flows • Perform root-cause analysis on failed jobs and communicate resolution timelines to stakeholders • Maintain integration runbooks and support on-call rotation for production incidents
5. Governance & Best Practices • Maintain integration documentation: data flow diagrams, recipe inventories, and change logs • Enforce naming conventions, recipe folder structures, and environment promotion standards (Dev → QA → Prod) • Conduct peer recipe reviews and ensure alignment with integration best practices.
