Senior Software Engineer, Strategic Integrations

180k – 200kUnited StatesRemote5+ YOE
Summary

Senior engineer leading platform quality, legacy migration, and observability for enterprise partner integrations. Requires strong backend experience, third-party API integration at scale, and incremental migration expertise.

About the role

What You’ll Accomplish

  • Lead platform quality improvements that unlock faster, safer integration delivery. Build durable, reusable engineering systems (frameworks, libraries, templates) rather than one-off solutions.
  • Migrate existing integrations onto a more standardized model. Drive incremental, observable migration plans that reduce risk, preserve backwards compatibility, and avoid “silent breakage.”
  • Make end-to-end data traceability real. Evolve the system so engineers can trace acquisition → ingestion quickly and confidently.
  • Deliver data visibility as a first-class experience. Build/run capabilities like real-time logs, historical ingestion progress, and payload-level debugging tools.
  • Improve contract safety and testability. Reduce manual E2E testing by investing in reusable vendor payload fixtures/scripts and contract tests.
  • Harden vendor API resilience and upgradeability. Improve API contract management, test coverage, and generated models/boilerplate reduction.
  • Design for failure and recovery. Build resilient patterns for retries, idempotency, backoff, and partial failure.
  • Partner across engineering and product. Collaborate with Integrations Core and downstream domain teams to evolve paved paths, canonical models, and platform capabilities.

Your Expertise

  • Significant professional experience building and operating backend/distributed systems, with a track record of improving reliability, observability, and operational quality.
  • Demonstrated experience migrating legacy systems to new platforms through safe, incremental approaches (compatibility layers, measured cutovers, staged rollouts).
  • Strong debugging ability across service boundaries, including designing systems so issues are diagnosable (metrics/logs/traces, correlation IDs, clear error surfaces).
  • Experience integrating with third-party APIs at scale (auth, pagination, vendor limitations, rate limits) and building resilient ingestion/export patterns.
  • Strong engineering fundamentals (system design, data modeling, APIs, testing strategy), and the judgment to balance pragmatism with long-term maintainability.
  • Proficiency in a modern backend language; our ecosystem includes typed backend services (commonly Java/Kotlin).
  • Comfort collaborating cross-functionally (product, design, partnerships/support, platform teams), and willingness to lead through influence: writing proposals, running design reviews, leveling up patterns and templates.
