Responsibilities

This role will shape how our People technology ecosystem connects, automates and evolves as Legora scales. You'll own the integration architecture that connects our core HRIS to our wider technology stack, while building the AI-native capabilities that make it easier for employees, managers and the People team to get things done.
You'll join at a pivotal moment as we build the foundations of our global People technology ecosystem, helping us make the right architectural decisions from day one. You will build the hard pieces yourself, and make HRIS data and workflows usable by agents, automations, and MCP servers, creating new ways of interacting with People technology.
This is a senior, hands-on individual contributor role for someone who combines deep integration engineering expertise with a passion for emerging technology. You'll work closely with People Technology, IT, Security and functional stakeholders who rely on People data, balancing speed and innovation with reliability, security and scalability.
People Integration Architecture & Strategy. Define and own the integration architecture across our People technology ecosystem, with the HRIS at its core. Establish scalable design patterns, technical standards and governance for how systems exchange data and trigger workflows. Make decisions on when to use HRIS-native capabilities, middleware, APIs or custom solutions, balancing speed, maintainability and long-term scalability.
AI & Intelligent Automation. Build the AI-native integration layer that enables employees, managers and the People team to interact with systems in new ways. Design and develop MCP servers, AI agents and intelligent workflows that securely access People data and execute actions across systems. Identify opportunities to eliminate manual work, enable self-service and bring People processes into the tools employees already use. Evaluate emerging AI capabilities and determine when to leverage existing platforms versus building custom solutions.
Security, Reliability & Governance. Establish the technical controls that make our integrations and AI capabilities secure, observable and dependable. Define standards for authentication, field-level permissions, monitoring, alerting, error handling, retries, testing and auditability. Own the ongoing integration lifecycle, including release testing, documentation, troubleshooting and continuous improvement. Partner with IT, Security and Legal to protect sensitive People data and ensure responsible AI use.
Technical Leadership & Engineering Excellence. Act as the technical authority for People integrations and AI architecture. Translate complex business requirements into practical technical solutions, challenge design decisions and establish reusable patterns that accelerate delivery. Partner with engineers, analysts, implementation partners and vendors, reviewing technical designs, sharing expertise and raising engineering standards across the team. Anticipate future needs and ensure our architecture can evolve as Legora grows.
What you'll bring
10+ years of experience in enterprise integrations, software engineering or technology architecture, including significant hands-on experience designing and building integrations for enterprise HR systems.
Deep technical expertise in integrating major enterprise HRIS platforms, including complex employee data flows, security models, APIs and downstream system dependencies. Experience supporting a global HRIS implementation is highly desirable.
Strong experience with APIs, integration patterns and middleware or iPaaS platforms such as Workato, Boomi or MuleSoft. You understand when to use HRIS-native capabilities versus external integration platforms.
Strong command of REST, SOAP, OAuth 2.0, JSON, XML, XSLT, and webhooks
