Full Job Description
What you'll do
  • Run the Integration Specialist team: you set the bar, run the 1:1s, build the leveling rubric, and stand behind every commit the team makes. People grow here or you change something
  • Team throughput as a real metric: you forecast capacity, manage queue depth, and drive integrations-per-specialist-per-quarter up quarter after quarter. The systems that get you there (tooling, templates, SOPs) are yours to build
  • Integration delivery end to end: scoping, build, QA, handoff. You translate customer and partner needs into clean technical scope and represent integration realities - rate limits, deprecation risk, partner constraints - in every design review
  • The integration portfolio as an ongoing business asset: usage, error rates, partner SLAs, incident response. You make the maintenance, deprecation, and version-upgrade calls with a clear cost/benefit view, not by default
  • Partner relationships that matter: top integration partners run through you. Technical escalations, co-build conversations, co-marketing - you are the credible point of contact and you bring opportunities back for the commercial team to act on
  • Integration-led deals with Sales, CS, and Product: feasibility calls, contract language, rollout, retention. When integrations are the thing standing between us and a deal, you are in the room and you have a point of view
Who you are
  • 2+ years managing a technical or technical-adjacent team, with evidence of leveling up junior members into senior operators
  • Hands-on with integration craft: REST APIs, webhooks, OAuth, common iPaaS and middleware patterns. You can read code, hold your own in design discussions, and tell a customer config problem from a product bug fast
  • You have built systems that compound team throughput before - tooling, templates, runbooks - and you can point at the before and after
  • Comfort in both engineering reviews and partner conversations. You move from a technical escalation with a partner to a feasibility call with Sales without changing register
  • Capacity-planning instincts: you know what the team can hold, what it should not commit to, and how to say no in a way that keeps the relationship intact
  • Ownership mentality: scope does not constrain you, outcomes do
Nice to have
  • Familiarity with one or more integration ecosystems: CRM, marketing automation, data warehouse, or vertical SaaS
  • Partnership or BD experience, or having owned a P&L or budget line
  • Experience standing up an on-call or rotation model for a growing integration portfolio
Our Guiding Principles
  1. Extreme Ownership
  2. Quality
  3. Curiosity and Play
  4. Make Our Customers Heroes
  5. Respectful Candor
Benefits
  • Equity in a fast-growing startup
  • Competitive benefits package tailored to your location
  • Flexible time off policy
  • Parental Leave
  • A fun-loving and (just a bit) nerdy team that loves to move fast!
