I will try to come, but I might be a few mins late.
Maybe something to keep an eye on... the job title is integration expert... I'm seeing more IT/IS techs with a focus on mobile development or web development being hired under this title in the pool industry. The main purpose of the job role is making "new hardware technology" work with "existing procedures." Some other companies are hiring "front end designers" that know sharepoint and DB to unify how information is stored or entered by either customer or employee.
