Hire an Integrations Developer
Integrations where the failure paths get as much engineering as the happy path — because production is where the happy path ends.
Every integration works on demo day. The ones that matter work on the day the third party has an outage, rate-limits you, changes a field name, or returns success but did not actually save. Integration engineering is the discipline of assuming the other system will misbehave — and building the retry, idempotency, reconciliation and alerting that turns a 3am incident into a queued retry with a log entry.
Typical engagements: CRM connections (leads flowing from site to pipeline with deduplication and fallbacks), payment and billing wiring beyond copy-paste snippets, email delivery with reputation hygiene, shipping and inventory syncs for commerce, ERP and accounting system bridges, and the great unglamorous specialty — auditing the existing integration sprawl that fails silently in the background.

Questions
Asked about Integrations.
Single well-documented integrations (form to CRM, payment to invoice) often land in the $1.5k–5k range; multi-system workflows with reconciliation and failure handling run $5k–25k. The driver is not the number of systems — it is the cost of being wrong, which is exactly what should drive it.
If it has an API, the answer is usually yes — and the audit of that API (rate limits, auth model, webhook quality, sandbox honesty) is the first deliverable, before any commitment. Systems without APIs are honest conversations about file-based bridges, email parsing, or admitting it is not integrable.
That is the most common integration engagement. The pattern: inventory every flow, add health checks and alerting so failures announce themselves, then rebuild the fragile ones with retry and reconciliation. Silent failure is a monitoring gap before it is a code gap — both get fixed.
