Lead Integration Engineer & Developer

Company: Consultation Claims Limited
Apply for the Lead Integration Engineer & Developer
Location: Liverpool
Job Description:

We’re looking for a senior, hands‑on Lead Integration Engineer & Developer to further develop and evolve our integration platform—connecting core internal services with external systems and partners.

This is a high‑impact individual contributor role combining deep technical expertise with architectural leadership. You’ll spend a significant portion of your time writing production code, while also setting direction, defining standards, and mentoring engineers across the integration domain.

Our platform is centred around HubSpot and a growing ecosystem of internal services and partner integrations, built on a modern event‑driven architecture in AWS.

You’ll play a key role in shaping how we design APIs, handle events, ensure reliability, and scale integrations across the business.

What You’ll Be Doing

Own the Integration Architecture

  • Design and evolve the architecture for a scalable integration platform (HubSpot)
  • Define patterns for event‑driven workflows and asynchronous processing
  • Establish best practices for reliability (idempotency, retries, failure handling, data consistency)
  • Set standards for how internal services integrate with external APIs and third‑party systems

Build the Platform (Hands‑On)

This is a hands‑on engineering role. You will actively design, build, and operate production systems.

  • Develop serverless services using AWS (Lambda, API Gateway)
  • Build event‑driven pipelines using EventBridge, SQS, and SNS
  • Implement robust API integrations and webhook processing
  • Design and implement data mapping and transformation between systems

Integrate External Systems

  • Build and maintain integrations with platforms such as HubSpot and other partner systems
  • Design resilient, scalable API integrations
  • Manage schema evolution and ensure long‑term integration stability

Improve Reliability & Observability

  • Implement monitoring, alerting, and observability across integration workflows
  • Diagnose and resolve complex issues in distributed systems
  • Continuously improve failure recovery and system resilience
  • Apply best practices such as dead‑letter queues, retries, and idempotent processing

Technical Leadership

  • Define and promote engineering best practices across the integration domain
  • Mentor and support engineers working on integration services
  • Influence architectural decisions across teams and services
  • Act as a subject matter expert for event‑driven and distributed systems

Technology Environment

Core Stack

  • AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, EventBridge, SQS, SNS)
  • Node.js / TypeScript and Python

Data & Infrastructure

  • DynamoDB, RDS
  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CDK, or CloudFormation)
  • CloudWatch and observability tooling

Integrations

  • HubSpot (CRM)
  • Internal microservices and external partner APIs

What We’re Looking For

Required Experience

  • 7+ years of backend or platform engineering experience
  • Strong hands‑on experience building production systems in AWS (serverless preferred)
  • Proven experience designing and operating distributed, event‑driven systems
  • Experience building and maintaining API integrations with third‑party platforms
  • Experience owning systems end‑to‑end (design, delivery, operation, and iteration)

Technical Expertise

  • Event‑driven architectures and messaging systems (e.g. EventBridge, SQS, SNS, Kafka)
  • Designing for failure retries, idempotency, backoff strategies, DLQs
  • Observability, monitoring, and debugging in distributed systems
  • Data modelling, transformation, and schema evolution across systems
  • Demonstrated ability to lead technical design and influence architecture
  • Experience mentoring engineers and raising engineering standards
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to work across technical and non‑technical stakeholders
  • Comfortable operating in a fast‑moving, evolving environment
  • Experience integrating with CRM platforms (HubSpot preferred)
  • Experience building or owning internal integration platforms
  • Experience handling high‑volume event ingestion or real‑time data pipelines
  • Familiarity with containerised services (e.g. Docker, ECS, Kubernetes)
  • Experience with modern observability platforms (e.g. Datadog, OpenTelemetry)

Success in This Role

In your first 6–12 months, you will:

  • Establish clear architectural patterns and standards for integrations
  • Improve resilience across the platform
  • Become a trusted technical leader within the business
  • Ensure Data produced is sufficient for Board level analytics

Why Join Us?

  • Opportunity to shape and lead enterprise‑wide analytics strategy
  • High visibility role with direct impact on business outcomes
  • Collaborative, forward‑thinking culture focused on innovation and growth
