Integrations Lead - Sydney API Engineer Legal Technology
Join a Sydney AI-powered legal tech start-up as Integrations Lead. Own end-to-end integrations, build scalable playbooks, and drive customer success.
Join a seed funded start up as the inaugural Integrations Specialist/ API Engineer - previous experience in integration of PMs/ DMS is essential. This firm has an automation first approach, powered by AI, and is already transforming legal practice.
The firm are building an exceptional team, from Engineering Lead to GTM team and Legal Engineers for each practice area. Growing rapidly with a scalable roadmap, you will be a key part of this new team, building the success of the solution and exceeding customer satisfaction. In this crucial role, you will own the full integration lifecycle from post sale to go live.
About the Role
End-to-end ownership of customer integrations: scoping, configuration (auth, tenant validation, allow listing, permissions, document store setup), sandbox and live testing, and delivery
Scope integration approaches for new CMS partners, prototype solutions, and hand clear technical requirements to Engineering for product enhancement
Manage strategic vendor relationships — securing API access, isolating issues, surfacing undocumented behaviour, and negotiating workarounds when standard paths fall short
Debug production integration issues by tracing logs, pinpointing the failure layer (our side, vendor side, or customer config), and routing to Engineering with a clean diagnosis
Build the assets that scale delivery: implementation playbooks, vendor setup guides, troubleshooting matrices, readiness checklists, and CS handoff notes
Feed patterns from customer integrations back to Engineering as product requirements
About You
