About The Role Join Bolt as a Senior Integration / Automation Engineer to build the integrations and event flows that connect our People Technology ecosystem. You'll work across HRIS, ATS, performance, payroll, goals, learning, and data systems, with a strong focus on major platform migrations and reliable data movement between systems.

In this role, you will own integrations in your area from design and delivery through production operations. You'll play a key role as we replace our core HRIS and introduce new performance and goals tools, building for parallel operation, reconciliation, and safe cutovers without disrupting downstream consumers. You'll also partner closely with AI Engineers to provide reliable interfaces for agentic systems, with clear guarantees around validation, idempotency, failure handling, and auditability.

Main Tasks And Responsibilities

• Designing, building, and operating reliable integrations across the People stack using event-driven, webhook, batch, and API-based patterns.
• Leading integration work for platform migrations, including parallel running, data migration, reconciliation, and safe cutovers.
• Ensuring people data integrity through correct data modelling, idempotent operations, safe retries, and automated reconciliation.
• Owning production reliability through monitoring, alerting, observability, incident investigation, and continuous improvement.
• Building secure, well-documented interfaces for People systems and AI agents, with strong access controls, validation, and auditability.
• Raising engineering standards through documentation, code and design reviews, reusable patterns, mentoring, and knowledge sharing.

About You

• You have advanced Python skills and substantial experience building production integrations with third-party SaaS APIs.
• You understand event-driven architecture, asynchronous processing, eventual consistency, idempotency, and fault-tolerant system design.
• You have practical experience with authentication and provisioning standards such as OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, SSO, and SCIM.
• You have delivered production system migrations involving cutovers, parallel running, reconciliation, and backfills.
• You're comfortable with workflow automation tools, SQL, data pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and infrastructure-as-code, and know when to automate versus build a service.
• You communicate technical trade-offs clearly, mentor other engineers, work effectively with vendors and stakeholders, and handle sensitive personal data with care.
