• Develop and improve the sample programs, technical documentation, tools and scripts that accompany the integration toolkits.
• Work closely as appropriate with the various internal engineering, QA, sales, customer support teams.
• Provide structured feedback to the development team on product issues and areas for enhancement or improvement.
