  • Expert-level PHP, JavaScript, HTML/CSS plus modern tooling, bundlers, and frameworks as needed.
  • Advanced understanding of WordPress architecture: hooks, filters, WP REST API, custom post types, taxonomies, roles, caching layers, security, and database internals.
  • Strong experience integrating third-party APIs and building custom backend logic.
  • Perfect English both written and spoken.
  • A track record of presenting work to clients, managing expectations, and providing consultative guidance.

Role Description As an Integration Engineer, you will be working within one of our scrum teams, focused on expanding Dotdigital and enhancing its integration with other platforms.

Our goal is to create integrations that excel in performance and reliability, ensuring rapid data processing while handling large volumes with ease.

To help you tackle these technical challenges, you’ll have access to AI tooling to support you in your day-to-day role. As we constantly integrate with new platforms, you will also spend time acquainting yourself with various platforms and reviewing their technical documentation to determine the most effective way to address the needs of our customers. We’re remote! Our product and technical teams are currently based in the UK, Poland, and South Africa and our 180 team members all work from home. We do make office and co-working spaces available, but that choice is up to you. We keep in touch with each other via Slack and Zoom and have a great collaborative culture. To top up our social batteries, we all meet up quarterly in person (we have a meetup per country) and work together for a day, and let off some steam with activities or tech talks. Qualifications - Experience working with SaaS platforms and their API capabilities. - Great understanding of data models and their variations between different software systems. - Fluid communicator and talented collaborator. - Experience in putting yourself in the shoes of the customer. - Commercial programming or scripting experience (ideally). Requirements - Experience using scripting or programming languages. - Understanding of data modelling. - Awareness of efficient data storage and retrieval mechanisms. - Awareness of batch processing techniques and efficient API usage. - Good sense of initiative. - Experience working with an IPaaS system such as Tray.ai, Zapier, IFTT, Blendr, ReTool or Microsoft's Power Platform. - Exposure to REST, SOAP, GraphQL, JSON, XML and OAuth2. - Experience of working within a scrum team (GIT, PRs, scrum, agile, etc) - ideally a remote-first team.
