A day in the life
You start by picking up overnight cases from shippers in Europe. One partner is getting authentication errors after rotating credentials, so you check their token request, find the missing scope and walk them through the fix. A shipper's labels are failing for a handful of postcodes, so you reproduce the call in sandbox, confirm it is a coverage question, and reply with what is and is not serviceable. You join an office hours session to answer questions from a developer starting a new integration. In the afternoon you notice you have looked up the same field mapping three times this week, so you write a short script and add it to the team runbook.
