Job Description

Integrations Engineer

Department: Tech - Engineering

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Zinc - London

Reporting To: Lucila Sanjurjo

Compensation: Β£72,000 - Β£75,000 / year

Description

Zinc is growing its Integrations team. Integrations with ATS and HRIS platforms such as Workday, Greenhouse, iCIMS, Lever and SmartRecruiters are one of our biggest levers for growth, and demand from Partnerships and Sales is outpacing what our current team can build. As an Integrations Engineer, you'll add the engineering capacity to change that. πŸš€

Your job is to increase the number and quality of Zinc's integrations. You'll design, build and scale connections with third-party platforms, and evolve our Partner API so partners can build on Zinc with less hand-holding.

This is an engineering role. Support and onboarding sit with our dedicated Integration Support function in Partnerships, so your time goes on building, hardening and improving integrations. You'll also be the escalation point for issues support can't resolve. You'll work closely with Product, Partnerships and Integration Support, and report to the Engineering Manager for Integrations.

Key Responsibilities πŸ—οΈ

  • Building integrations end to end πŸ”Œ – Read partner API docs, spec with the PM, then build, test and release new integrations, from Greenhouse Harvest API upgrades to CV checks across ATSs.
  • Hardening what's live πŸ›‘οΈ – Move existing integrations off deprecated mechanisms (such as Greenhouse polling to PATCH) and strengthen error handling, retries and idempotency.
  • Evolving the Partner API 🧩 – Own endpoint design, versioning, webhooks, docs and sandbox so partners can build on Zinc with less hand-holding.
  • Building reusable patterns ♻️ – Create shared connector and mapping layers that cut the cost of every new integration.
  • Giving support the tools πŸ”­ – Build internal tooling and observability so Integration Support can diagnose issues themselves.
  • Being the escalation point 🚨 – Root-cause and fix the issues Integration Support can't resolve. You're not the first line for customers.
  • Shaping what we build 🎯 – Give Product and Partnerships technical feasibility input during discovery, through the team's planning process.
  • Raising the bar 🀝 – Review code, set testing standards, and pick up occasional Vue/Nuxt work on integration settings screens.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise πŸš€

Hard skills ⚑

  • Integration Engineering πŸ”Œ – You've built and maintained production integrations against third-party APIs you don't control, in code rather than config. You know the trade-offs: sync vs async, webhooks vs polling, retry strategies.
  • TypeScript / Node.js πŸ’» – Production experience. Our backend is TypeScript and we standardise across the codebase.
  • REST APIs & Webhooks πŸ”— – OAuth2, pagination, rate limits, retries and idempotency are second nature. They're core to every integration.
  • Data Mapping πŸ—ΊοΈ – You're comfortable moving data between JSON, XML and SOAP. Workday and iCIMS are XML/SOAP-heavy.
  • Testing πŸ§ͺ – You're proficient with Jest and with contract and integration tests using mocks, because integrations fail silently.

About Zinc

At Zinc, we believe that background checks should be instant, easy, and delightful. Yes, you read that right.

Traditional background checking providers are slow, manual, and error-prone β€” Zinc’s here to change that.

Here’s how it works:

Step one: Select your checks

With Zinc you get exactly the checks you want, and no extras you don’t. Make your own templates and re-use them, or use our pre-built packages to align with any regulatory check requirements.

Zinc offers global checks in over 190 countries, including:

Credit checks

Address verification

Reference checks

Qualification checks

For a full list, visit https://zincwork.com/checks.

Step two: Tell Zinc who you’re checking

Enter your candidate or employee’s name and email address, then click β€œRequest checks.”

The rest is easy: Candidates use our mobile-friendly platform to submit any required information, referee names, and additional documents. We’ll even chase references for you.

Here’s what Becca Covill, HR Operations Specialist at Jensten, said about Zinc references:

β€œWhen we’ve used different providers, there was a lot of manual intervention required. But with Zinc, we’ve been able to put them in, click a button, and it just runs.”

To stay in the loop, just visit your Zinc dashboard and get at-a-glance updates.

Step three: Get results, fast

With direct HMRC integrations and automated workflows, Zinc delivers results fast. Like, really fast.

β€œObviously I recommend Zinc, but an IDSP will change your life overnight. It had instant results.” β€” Zander Loftus, Recruitment Manager, Hexagon Care
