Summary
We are looking for a Senior AI Integration Engineer with a strong backend focus to join our team. This is an AI-first role, where artificial intelligence and low-code tools are core to the daily workflow—not add-ons.
In this position, you will primarily work on backend integrations, REST APIs, and workflow automation, leveraging Python, AI-assisted development, and platforms such as Power Automate or n8n. You will act as a technical reference for integration design and automation strategies, helping connect internal applications with external systems in a scalable, secure, and efficient way.
This role is ideal for a senior engineer who enjoys solving integration problems, automating processes, and using AI tools as a default productivity accelerator, while still remaining hands-on with code.
Education
• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
Professional Experience
• 5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer, Full-Stack Engineer, or Backend Engineer.
• Strong background in backend development, API integrations, and system automation.
• Experience acting as a technical reference or guiding architectural decisions (formal people management is not required).
Soft Skills
• Advanced English proficiency (written and spoken).
• Strong problem-solving and analytical mindset.
• Comfortable making technical decisions and proposing improvements.
• Ability to collaborate closely with engineers, product teams, and stakeholders.
• Proactive, autonomous, and highly adaptable in dynamic environments.
• Enthusiastic about learning and adopting new technologies, especially AI-driven workflows.
Required Skills
AI-Native Development
• Daily use of AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or similar for code generation, debugging, documentation, and problem-solving.
• Ability to combine AI-assisted coding with sound engineering judgment and validation.
Backend Development & Integrations
• Strong experience with Python, particularly for scripting, automation, and API integrations.
• Solid experience building and consuming REST APIs.
• Deep familiarity with JSON-based systems and payloads.
• Experience handling authentication mechanisms such as OAuth 2.0, service principals, and token-based access.
Workflow Automation
• Hands-on experience with Power Automate and/or n8n for workflow orchestration, triggers, connectors, and error handling.
• Ability to automate business and technical processes across multiple systems.
Cloud & Platforms
• Experience working with Microsoft Azure, including services such as App Services, identity management, storage, and automation.
• Exposure to Microsoft 365 environments and integrations (Graph API, identity, collaboration tools).
• Basic familiarity with Google Cloud Platform administration and APIs is a plus.
Data & Scripting
• Experience working with SQL Server or Dataverse, including query writing, schema analysis, and basic data transformations.
• Familiarity with scripting languages such as PowerShell and Bash for automation tasks.
Development Practices
• Experience with version control systems (Git, GitHub, GitLab).
• Ability to document solutions clearly using Markdown or similar formats.
• Understanding of integration patterns, error handling, and monitoring considerations.
Nice to Have
• Experience with low-code / no-code platforms beyond Power Automate or n8n.
• Familiarity with JavaScript for automation expressions or lightweight scripting.
• Experience working with XML, CSV, or legacy data formats.
• Exposure to healthcare or regulated-industry integrations (e.g., HL7/FHIR), though not required.
• Prior experience supporting or influencing architectural decisions without formal management responsibility.
• Product-oriented mindset, with the ability to evaluate competing solutions and integration approaches.
Role Highlights
• Backend-heavy role (approximately 80% backend/integrations).
• AI-assisted development is expected as a default workflow.
• Focused on integrations, automation, and orchestration, not UI-heavy feature development.
• Opportunity to influence technical decisions and integration patterns without people-management overhead.
• Work on data-driven, integration-intensive, and mission-critical systems.
