Build Robust Admin & Content Management Tools

• Lead the development of tools that allow banks to manage and curate content at scale: tagging, versioning, permissions, workflows, analytics.
  
• Promote self-service interfaces that empower administrators to onboard new content and workflows without engineering support.
  

Integrate Seamlessly Across Core Systems

• Define APIs, SDKs, and embed strategies to connect Nexus with CRMs, core banking systems, ticketing tools, and internal portals.
  
• Ensure every integration maintains low latency, context preservation, and enterprise-grade security.
