- Design and implement secure authentication patterns (OAuth 2.0, JWT, SAML, API keys, certificates) and manage secrets in accordance with least privilege principles.
- Design an enterprise integration architecture and lead technical discussions with architects and business stakeholders.
- Troubleshoot complex, cross-system production issues and drive them to resolution.
- Improve the quality and consistency of integration and data documentation, leveraging AI tools such as Copilot where appropriate.
- Evaluate and incorporate Workato’s AI capabilities, including MCP, Workato Genies, and Agent Studio, into Five9’s automation strategy where appropriate.
- Mentor other integration engineers and help grow the team’s technical capabilities.
- Stay current with Workato platform updates, integration best practices, and emerging AI-driven automation capabilities.
Key Requirements:
- Minimum of 5 years of hands-on integration experience.
- Workato certification required (e.g., Workato Automation Pro or higher).
- Strong hands-on experience with REST APIs, including HTTP methods, authentication, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and JSON payloads.
- Experience designing reusable, versioned APIs and integrations that remain maintainable as systems evolve.
- Strong understanding of authentication and security practices, including OAuth 2.0, JWT, API keys, Basic Auth, SAML, certificates, secret management, encryption, and least privilege access.
- Proficiency working with JSON and XML, including parsing, transformation, and mapping of complex payloads.
- Experience with data transformation, including mapping, filtering, aggregation, cleansing, deduplication, and schema conversion.
- Working knowledge of SQL, including querying databases, troubleshooting, and relational data models.
- Experience implementing robust error handling, including retry logic, dead letter queues, compensating transactions, alerts, logging, and graceful failure handling.
- Understanding of event-driven architecture, including webhooks, event streams, asynchronous processing, and message-based integrations.
- Familiarity with common integration patterns, including request/response, publish/subscribe, polling, batch processing, ETL, orchestration, and choreography.
- Experience with, or strong interest in, business applications such as Salesforce, NetSuite, GCP, UKG, Deel, Ramp, Jira, Freshservice, and Coupa is a big plus.
- Familiarity with Workato’s emerging AI capabilities, including MCP, Workato Genies, and Agent Studio, is a big plus.
