- Determine the feasibility of implementation requests and write code to test potential integrations with the Shogun Frontend software
- Collaborate with Agency Partner Managers to evaluate and approve new agency partners based on technical prowess
- Build technical documentation for agencies and customers, and participate in trainings and demonstrations
- Provide customer and agency developer feedback to our internal engineering and product teams to improve our products and the implementation process
- Ignite excitement around Shogun’s Frontend product by building a developer network and engaging with external communities
