- Passion for creating exceptional developer experiences (DX) through API design and documentation
- Proactive in identifying and implementing tooling to enhance business process connectivity
- Flexibility to handle changing business requirements and complexity in dealing with third-party systems

What the job involves
- Reporting to Senior Integrations Engineer
- Integrations play a crucial role in our product offering and business goals, allowing us to provide top-notch solutions within the product, ensuring a seamless user experience, and facilitating partners and clients in building integrations effortlessly
- Currently, we have an integrations marketplace boasting nearly 50 built-in integrations and a publicly accessible external API which clients can (and do) use
- While the team has been collectively handling integration and API tasks, the increasing scale of our business has underscored the need for an additional individual dedicated specifically to maintaining the API and developing new integrations
- To that end, we are hiring a Software Integrations Engineer to join our Integration team of 3, who will build software to integrate with other applications (typically via API), as well as provide services and tooling for third parties and clients to better manage the exporting of data from Pinpoint
- You will specialize in building software to integrate with other applications (typically via API), providing essential services and tooling for third parties and clients to streamline data export from Pinpoint
- Your primary responsibilities will include owning end-to-end development of high-quality integrations with third-party systems, maintaining and enhancing our external API, and collaborating with our team to improve integration documentation and codebase efficiency
- Build and own end-to-end high-quality integrations with third-party systems critical for Pinpoint’s customers
- Develop and maintain our external API, ensuring it is up-to-date and well-documented with useful examples
- Create and maintain software tools and services for third parties and clients to facilitate efficient data export from Pinpoint
- Scope and build integrations for our marketplace based on business needs, ensuring they meet high-quality standards and integration requirements from third-party providers
- Support Sales and Customer Success teams with existing integrations and API functionalities, including middleware services to facilitate external contractor involvement
- Key Success Indicators:
- Stay informed about technology trends and tools, such as iPaaS solutions, to evaluate and enhance our technology stack
- Timely delivery of robust integrations meeting customer needs
- Comprehensive and clear documentation of integrations and APIs
- Increased efficiency in integration development through codebase improvements
- Positive feedback from internal teams on the usability and effectiveness of integrations and APIs
- Proactive contributions to technology stack enhancements and process improvements
- When it comes to integration partners what we build comes from two main sources:
- Existing / prospective customers - We are often asked by clients to integrate with some of their existing tooling
- This is usually a HRIS or background checking system
- These requests are prioritised based on the amount of clients that a new integration would benefit as well as the technical feasibility and effort of integrating
- Partnerships - There are some system that we want to integrate with to develop a deeper partnership, or just that we think the target solution is great and want to be able to offer it to our customer base
- How is the current API built?
- You can find our current API documentation here
- It’s organized around REST and follows the JSON API Spec
- If none of that sounds good to you then no problem
- Ultimately it will become your responsibility so we are happy to discuss how you think it could be better delivered
- Beyond the API we also have several webhooks that clients can configure within their Pinpoint instance that are triggered on key events
- We feel these have massive scope for improvement in order to provide an even better developer experience and self-serve integrations
- What is your tech stack?
- Backed: Ruby on Rails monolith
- Front-end: React (integrated with Rails app via react_on_rails)
- Internal and external API is built based on the JSON:API spec with Graphiti
- Our API docs are based on OpenAPI Specification and hosted on ReadMe
- Our full tech stack can be found here
- Which version of Ruby on Rails are you using?
- We are using version 6.0
- 6 of Ruby on Rails
- What environments do you have?
- We have Production, Staging, Release, and Development environments
- What are your current QA processes
- Do you have a dedicated QA team?
- We have numerous tests (both system and unit), and all new pull requests need to meet a coverage target to be merged
- QA is the responsibility of the developer reviewing the code
- We also perform User Acceptance Testing (UAT) conducted by our Product Delivery Manager and designers once the code is on release
- Currently, we do not have a dedicated QA team
- How do you evaluate new technologies
- Who makes the final decisions?
- We are not tied to any specific part of our stack and will make changes when it makes sense
- If a developer suggests introducing new technologies to the stack, they can bring it up at our team meeting
- The final decision on whether to introduce a new technology lies with the CTO
- How are you handling technical debt?
- Developers are encouraged to address technical debt when making changes
- We also have dedicated days for working on whatever the developer wants, and some developers use this as an opportunity to refactor and clean up code
- Currently, we do not have enough technical debt to warrant actively spending dedicated time on paying it down
- What is the split between front-end and back-end work?
- We do not split developer work into dedicated front-end and back-end roles; instead, all developers are full-stack
- We have a design system in place to facilitate front-end development and ensure consistency
- The actual split between front-end and back-end work depends entirely on the project being worked on
Our take
Pinpoint builds talent acquisition software, setting out to fix broken hiring processes that make it hard for the right fit of candidates and companies to find each other.
It does this through being an applicant tracking system that is particularly fast and easy to use, while being flexible enough to manage complex workflows as companies grow.
As a subsidiary of The Infuse Group, Pinpoint has grown impressively. It operates in over 50 countries and has a number of high profile clients including Grant Thornton, the JT Group, and One Valley. Further growth for the company is set to depend largely on increasing the size of its team to expand its global footprint.
