The Advanced Intelligence Work Group is seeking an Integration Engineer to design, build, and maintain robust backend integrations that power data flow across systems, applications, and AI-driven copilots. This role is critical for enabling seamless connectivity between databases, third-party services, APIs, and internal tools, while occasionally leveraging no-code platforms to streamline workflows. 

Role & Responsibilities: 

• Design, develop, and maintain RESTful APIs for internal and external systems. 

• Integrate third-party APIs (e.g., CRM, SaaS tools) with company applications and AI copilots. 

• Build and optimize data pipelines to ensure reliable, real-time data flow between databases, applications, and analytics platforms. 

• Implement and manage ETL/ELT processes for data transformation and synchronization. 

• Develop automated workflows using no-code/low-code orchestration tools (e.g., n8n, Zapier, Make.com) to streamline business processes. 

• Collaborate with AI/ML teams to ensure data availability and quality for training and inference in copilots. 

• Monitor, troubleshoot, and enhance API performance, security, and scalability. 

• Maintain documentation for integrations, data flows, and system architecture. 

• Collaborate with DevSecOps and compliance teams to ensure data security and compliance with data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) in all integrations. 

Skills & Expertise: 

• Required: 

• Proficiency in API design, development, and management (FastAPI, OpenAPI/Swagger). 

• Experience with relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB). 

• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and serverless architectures (Lambda, API Gateway). 

• Familiarity with ETL tools and data pipeline frameworks. 

• Good familiarity with no-code/low-code workflow automation platforms (n8n, Zapier). 

• Strong scripting skills (Python, JavaScript, or Go) for custom integrations. 

• Knowledge of authentication/authorization protocols (OAuth2, JWT, SAML). 

• Understanding of data modeling, schema design, and API security best practices. 

• Nice to Have: 

• Experience with message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ) and event-driven architectures. 

• Familiarity with API gateways (Kong, Apigee), monitoring tools (Postman, Datadog) and structured logging (Logfire, Logstash) 

• Knowledge of data governance and metadata management. 

• Certifications in cloud platforms or integration tools (AWS Certified Developer, Zapier Expert). 

Qualifications: 

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field (or equivalent experience). 

• 5+ years of experience in API development, data integration, or backend engineering roles. 

• Proven track record of building scalable integrations with third-party systems and no-code platforms. 

• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in cross-functional teams (Engineering, Data Science, Product). 

• GSD (Get Stuff Done) attitude is critical.
