About the Role

This role requires staff-engineer or engineering-manager-level scope of ownership. You should be comfortable setting technical direction with minimal oversight, and owning tradeoff decisions (including when to say no) when no one else is positioned to make that call. You'll also take direction and execute against decisions made by others, you’ll be expected to operate at both levels, not default to waiting for one when the other is what's needed. If you've done this as a senior IC without ever holding a \"Staff\" or \"EM\" title, that counts, what matters is the track record, not the label on your last role.

The Lead Service & Integrations team owns the integration backbone of our recruiting technology stack handling lead ingestion, lead export, ATS vendor integrations, and the job feed pipeline that connects scraped and API-sourced jobs to our job distribution platform. This role is responsible for that platform from end-to-end: production deployments, integration reliability, issue monitoring and triage, and the queue-based processing infrastructure that keeps it running. Keeping this platform up and healthy allows multiple other internal products to serve our client’s lead gen and hiring needs.

You’ll work across a Laravel/PHP codebase, a growing set of ATS vendor integrations (including Tenstreet, ADP, UKG Pro, RecruiterFlow, Paycom, and others), and a web scraping infrastructure. The work is high-ownership, high-visibility, and often requires you to be the person who figures out what’s technically possible and fits harmoniously with our systems, and not just what’s already been done. It also requires you to know when to exercise restraint in favor of delivery and be able to communicate those trade-offs in an appropriate manner.

Your Core Responsibilities

Internal Lead Servicing Platform

• Production deployments and release management via CI/CD pipeline
• Laravel Horizon queue monitoring and reliability (Redis-backed)
• Lead ingestion, export, and export detail configuration logic
• DB schema decisions across lead ingestion, export history, and status tracking tables
• Error monitoring and triage for Lead Service issues
• Data auditing for governance and account management needs

ATS Vendor Integrations

• Maintaining and extending active integrations across multiple ATS vendors
• Serving as the technical subject matter expert on integration capabilities & answering what’s possible with Vendors, answering questions for internal support and account teams to help maintain or acquire new business
• Triaging referral code issues, routing logic, and export failures
• Documenting integration patterns as new vendors are onboarded

Web Scraping Infrastructure

• Managing web scrape workflows for ATS vendors that lack direct API access
• Overseeing scraping credit usage and capacity planning
• Maintaining the job family mapping function that standardizes scraped job categories
• Mentoring junior team members on building and maintaining new scrapes
• Make scraping more efficient and self-serviceable for support teams

Job Feed Pipeline

• Owning the architecture connecting scraped and API-sourced jobs to our internal Job distribution platform
• Managing XML feed generation and sync automation across integrated ATS vendors
• Ensuring salary, requisition, hiring status, and job metadata pass through correctly across vendor feeds

Support & Triage

• Serving as primary technical responder for lead export errors and integration support escalations
• Coordinating with DevOps on database access, queue provisioning, and cloud storage permissions

What You Bring

Required

• 5-8 years of professional software engineering experience
• Proven experience successfully operating in management or staff engineering like roles
• Strong PHP/Laravel & queues, Horizon, middleware, scheduled jobs, artisan commands
• Comfort deploying, monitoring, and on-call troubleshooting and triage of production platforms
• Experience integrating with third-party APIs & ideally in HR tech, ATS, or similar
• MySQL & schema design, query optimization, and relational data modeling
• Strong communication skills with stakeholders, external clients and vendors, and team members
• Ability to work independently with low supervision on ambiguous problems
• Ability to be flexible on workload and design principles to meet needs of adjacent teams and stakeholders, and learn when it's appropriate to push back

Valued (Not Required)

• Familiarity with web scraping tools and infrastructure
• AWS experience: S3, IAM, RDS, SFTP
• Redis and queue-based architecture experience
• Experience in recruiting, staffing, or HR technology
• Vue.js or other frontend framework experience
• Comfortability with discovering and sharing new tools and technologies that improve your quality and ease of work

How Success Is Measured

In your first 90 days, we’d expect you to:

• Own at least one production deployment of Lead Service end-to-end
• Resolve an ATS integration support issue independently
• Build or maintain at least one web scrape workflow
• Document one undocumented system or integration that currently lives only in chat threads or institutional memory
• Meet with direct and secondary peers to understand how their work and yours work together to serve our products and clients

What This Role Is Not

This is not a greenfield product role. The Lead Service is a mature, production‑critical platform with real operational dependencies. The person in this role will spend meaningful time maintaining, debugging, and extending existing systems. Ownership in this position does not look like an isolated product defining its own roadmap, but as a collaborative experience with other teams and stakeholders to provide value in ways that matter relationally to all initiatives. If you thrive in that environment, this is a strong fit.
