Position Overview

Own the technical integration, API data pipelines, and enterprise data modeling for VEC’s software ecosystem. Acting as a true Solutions Architect and lead BI developer, this role builds and maintains automated data flows between our core systems (Kantata/future ERP, HubSpot, ClickUp, Rippling). You will bridge the gap between business logic and technical execution, translating complex AEC financial structures into highly reliable, self-healing automated workflows, while owning the enterprise semantic model in Power BI.

Key Responsibilities

Rippling Integration & Enterprise Data Pipelines

• Lead the custom technical integration of Rippling (HRM) with downstream platforms. You will ensure that employee master data, department mapping, and effective-dated cost rates automatically sync from Rippling into Kantata (and eventually our new ERP) via API.
• Build and maintain integrations between HubSpot, Kantata, ClickUp, and Slack using iPaaS tools (e.g., Azure Logic Apps, Workato, Celigo) or custom API scripts.
• Automate key business transitions, such as triggering a Kantata project shell and a ClickUp workspace creation when a HubSpot deal is marked "Closed-Won".

API Reliability & Serverless Infrastructure

• Develop custom, native integrations using Python or Node.js deployed in serverless environments (e.g., AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions) when pre-built iPaaS connectors are insufficient.
• Architect self-healing, asynchronous integrations that handle REST API rate-limiting, pagination, and timeout issues.
• Own integration monitoring, webhook maintenance, and implement Dead Letter Queues so failed syncs are caught and resolved without data loss.

Data Modeling & Enterprise Analytics (Power BI)

• Design and maintain the enterprise data model and semantic layer in Power BI, pulling financial truth from Kantata, pipeline context from HubSpot, and headcount/cost data from Rippling.
• Build and own executive-grade Power BI dashboards calculating utilization, margin, backlog, and business development ROI.
• Ensure reporting trust by maintaining strict data definitions and preventing dashboard sprawl.

What This Role Is Not

• Identity & Access Management (IAM): You will not handle Rippling IT Administration (SSO/App provisioning), user account creation, or endpoint device management; this is owned by the IT Ops Manager.
• Business Process Owner: You build the technical integration and data models; the Business Operations Manager and CTO decide the system-of-record policies and business rules.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• 4–7+ years in integration engineering, BI development, backend engineering, or data architecture.
• Analytics Mastery: VERY strong enterprise BI capabilities, including deep expertise in Power BI, DAX, SQL, and semantic data modeling.
• API & Infrastructure Mastery: Practical experience building and maintaining integrations (REST APIs, webhooks, OAuth 2.0) across systems like Kantata/Mavenlink, HubSpot, ClickUp, and Rippling. Proficiency in Python/Node.js and serverless deployments.
• iPaaS Expertise: Hands-on experience with enterprise iPaaS platforms (Workato, Celigo, Boomi, or Azure Logic Apps).
• Soft Skills: Able to work collaboratively with non-technical stakeholders and translate technical API/data constraints into plain language.

What Success Looks Like (First 6 Months)

• Rippling integration with global HRM platforms.
• The HubSpot-to-ERP "Closed-Won" automation is fully mapped, tested, and live.
• Integration errors are caught by automated alerts and resolved quickly by you, rather than being discovered by end-users.
• The foundational Power BI semantic model is live, giving executives a single, trusted pane of glass for utilization and backlog.

Work Environment: Hybrid - must reside within commuting distance to the San Francisco HQ office.

Compensation Range: $120,000 – $155,000
