Job Title: Senior Engineer, Internal Tools
Position Description: Protingent Staffing has an exciting direct hire Senior Engineer, Internal Tools with our client that is fully remote.
Job Description:- You are the engineering backbone of the internal tools team.
- Building and maintaining the platforms that every team in the company relies on.
- Your work directly increases organizational efficiency and enables teams to move faster.
- You’ll own systems end-to-end, from scoping and architecture through production deployment and iteration, connecting multiple business systems into a seamless, reliable internal ecosystem.
Job Responsibilities:- Build & Ship:
- Design, build, and maintain internal platforms and tools that serve People, Finance, Ops, Sales, and Engineering teams.
- Own features end-to-end: requirements, architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and monitoring.
- Write clean, well-tested, production-grade code. You hold yourself to the same bar as customer-facing products.
- Architecture & Integration:
- Build API-first integrations across the internal ecosystem — connecting HRIS, CRM, finance platforms, knowledge management, and developer tools into a coherent stack.
- Design for reliability, performance, and scale — what you build today must hold as the company grows 5–10x.
- Eliminate data silos. Build clean data pipelines that maintain a single source of truth across systems.
- Own your services in production: monitoring, alerting, incident response, and post-mortems.
- AI & Automation:
- Build AI/LLM-powered features into internal workflows — automating approvals, knowledge retrieval, reporting, content generation, and operational processes.
- Move fast from prototype to production. You know the difference between a demo and a system that works at scale.
- Stay current on emerging AI capabilities and proactively identify where they unlock step-change improvements in internal productivity.
- Collaboration & Influence:
- Work directly with business stakeholders to understand pain points and translate them into technical solutions. You don’t wait for a spec — you help shape it.
- Pair with and mentor junior engineers. Raise the technical bar through code reviews, design reviews, and leading by example.
- Influence technical direction: propose architectural improvements, challenge assumptions, and drive best practices across the team.
Job Qualifications:- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent building internal tools, platforms, or business systems.
- Strong full-stack or backend engineering skills. Proficient in at least one of: Python, Go, TypeScript/Node.js, or Java.
- Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure (GCP/AWS/Azure), containerisation (Docker/Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines, and modern DevOps practices.
- Hands-on experience building and maintaining API integrations between third-party SaaS platforms (e.g., Workday, Salesforce, Slack, NetSuite).
- Strong data fundamentals: relational databases, data modelling, ETL/ELT pipelines, and working knowledge of SQL.
- Comfort with ambiguity. You can take a vague business problem, break it down, and deliver a working solution without heavy hand-holding.
- Clear communicator who can explain technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.
Nice To Have:- Experience with workflow orchestration tools (Temporal, Airflow, Prefect) or integration platforms (Workato, Tray.io, MuleSoft).
- Frontend experience with React, Next.js, or equivalent modern frameworks.
- Familiarity with HRIS, ERP, or people systems data models and processes.
- Experience at a high-growth or AI-native company.
- Contributions to developer experience tooling, CLIs, or internal SDKs.
- Experience building or integrating AI/LLM-powered features — not just experimenting, but shipping to real users.
