How to Apply for Senior API Integration Engineer
at Crusoe
🏢 About Crusoe
Crusoe is uniquely transforming stranded energy—like flared natural gas—into eco-friendly power for cloud computing and data centers, significantly reducing environmental impact. Working here means contributing to a tangible climate solution while operating at the intersection of energy and technology. Their mission-driven approach to sustainable infrastructure makes them an attractive employer for engineers passionate about environmental tech.
About This Role
As a Senior API Integration Engineer at Crusoe, you'll architect and build enterprise-grade integrations on the Workato ONE platform to automate workflows across their People Tech stack, particularly Workday HCM. This role is impactful because you'll establish reusable integration patterns that scale across both human-led and automated processes, directly enabling efficient operations as the company grows. You'll lead initiatives end-to-end, from concept to deployment, ensuring reliable data flow between critical HR systems.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day involves designing and developing Workato recipes to automate workflows between Workday HCM and other People Tech systems, such as syncing employee data with payroll or ATS. You'll collaborate with HR and IT teams to gather requirements, conduct technical reviews of integration patterns, and monitor existing recipes for errors or optimizations. Expect to lead sprint tasks, document governance standards, and troubleshoot API issues to ensure seamless data flow across Crusoe's remote operations.
