• Collaborate with downstream and upstream system teams to define interface contracts
• Troubleshoot and resolve integration and performance issues
• Mentor and support junior and mid-level developers through code reviews, hands-on guidance
• Set coding standards and reusable assets to improve team efficiency
• Participate in code reviews, performance tuning, and defect resolution
• Support deployment activities and production troubleshooting when needed
• Ensure compliance with security, audit, and operational standards

Requirements:

• 5+ years of Pega platform experience, with significant hands-on development
• Strong expertise in Pega Case Management
• Proven experience with Pega system integrations (REST/SOAP, services, connectors)
• Solid understanding of Pega rules engine, Flow rules, decision tables, data pages, and performance tuning and troubleshooting
• Experience leading or mentoring development teams
• Pega certifications such as CSSA and/or CLSA

Desired skills:
