Software Lifecycle and Integrations Engineer

About The Role

As a Software Lifecycle & Integrations Engineer, you will design and deliver the technical foundations that make software governance scalable: integrations, automations, workflow orchestration, and reliability patterns across the tooling ecosystem (identity, SaaS management, procurement/intake, ITSM, and inventory).

This is a hands-on engineering role that also owns the technical dimension of software reviews: validating vendor technical capabilities (SSO/SCIM, audit logs, admin controls, data flows), assessing integration feasibility, and translating review outcomes into implementable technical controls and automations.

In This Role, You Will

Build and Integrate

• Design and implement integrations and automations across identity platforms, SaaS management tooling, procurement/intake systems, and IT service workflows using APIs and modern automation frameworks.
• Build reliable orchestration patterns (idempotency, retries, DLQs/queues where applicable, backfills, reconciliation jobs) to prevent entitlement drift and data integrity issues.
• Develop and maintain reusable integration components, connectors, and workflow templates to reduce per-vendor onboarding effort.
• Establish monitoring, alerting, and observability for lifecycle automations (provisioning success rates, sync latency, failures, exceptions).
  
  

Engineer the Software Review Workflow (Not Just Participate)

• Lead the technical portion of software reviews by validating:
• SSO support and authentication models
• SCIM / provisioning feasibility and constraints
• Admin and audit log capabilities
• Data flow/integration patterns (APIs, webhooks, event patterns)
• Access model fit (human login vs API-only, service accounts, least privilege)
• Produce implementation-ready outputs: integration approach, access control design, required system fields, and operational runbooks.
  
  

Operationalize Governance

• Encode governance into systems: required fields, routing logic, control checks, evidence capture, exception handling, and auditable decision records.
• Partner with Security/GRC to ensure controls are embedded by design (segregation of duties, audit readiness, escalation paths).
• Support release/testing cycles: functional testing, UAT support, reconciliation, and migration validation for changes to workflows and integrations.
  
  

You Might Thrive in This Role If You Have

• 6-10 years of experience building integrations, automations, or internal platforms in enterprise environments.
• Strong proficiency with API integrations and data modeling (REST, JSON; familiarity with event-driven patterns is a plus).
• Hands-on identity and access experience in enterprise SaaS contexts (Okta/Entra or equivalent), including SSO concepts and provisioning models.
• Experience building reliability into automation (monitoring, error handling, backoff/retry, reconciliation, and operational runbooks).
• Ability to translate ambiguous business workflows into secure, maintainable technical systems.
• Comfort operating in cross-functional governance environments with clear boundaries and escalation discipline.
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Systems & Integration Architecture: Ability to design scalable, secure integration patterns across systems (API-based, event-driven, or workflow-based), including data flow modeling, authentication boundaries, and resilience patterns.
• Enterprise Identity & Provisioning Expertise: Practical experience with SSO (SAML/OIDC) and SCIM provisioning, including group-based access control, lifecycle management (joiner/mover/leaver), and entitlement modeling.
• Production-Grade Automation Engineering: Ability to build maintainable automation in a primary language (e.g., Python, TypeScript/Node, or Go) with logging, testing, version control, and structured deployment practices.
• Reliability & Observability Mindset: Experience implementing monitoring, alerting, reconciliation jobs, and drift detection to ensure integration health and prevent access or data inconsistencies.
• Technical Software Review Capability: Proven ability to evaluate vendor technical claims (SSO, admin controls, APIs, audit logs), assess integration feasibility, and translate findings into implementable access and governance controls.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with SaaS management platforms (inventory, license signals, lifecycle controls).
• Familiarity with audit/control expectations (SOX-style evidence, change controls, access governance).
• Experience building internal tooling (workflow engines, forms/intake services, connectors).
