People Technology Senior Integrations Specialist (All Genders)

We are looking for an experienced People Technology Senior Integrations Specialist to join our HelloFresh People Technology team. This role represents the senior individual contributor level within the Integrations and Engineering discipline and is designed for specialists who can independently deliver complex technical solutions across our People Technology landscape.

Today, the role has a strong focus on Workday integrations and connected enterprise systems. Over time, the scope will increasingly extend across system-agnostic integrations, workflow automation, software and low-code development, and AI-enabled solutions. You will take end-to-end responsibility for designing, building, operating, and supporting reliable, secure, and scalable solutions across global environments, using the most appropriate technology for the problem rather than being limited to a single platform.

The role combines deep hands-on engineering with mature operational ownership. You will work across Workday, APIs, middleware and emerging engineering capabilities, and will contribute to automation, intelligent workflows and AI-enabled solutions where these create practical value. You will act as a senior point of expertise for incidents and changes, applying judgement to diagnose root causes, manage risk and drive permanent fixes. While you will not define the overall engineering architecture or platform strategy, you will contribute actively to technical standards, patterns, quality improvements and the evolution of the discipline.

Above all, we are looking for people who will make HelloFresh better. We believe there are many different ways of developing skills and we love diverse experiences! So even if you don’t “tick all the boxes” but think you’d thrive in this role, we would really like to learn more about you.

• Own the end-to-end lifecycle of complex integrations and technical solutions across Workday and connected internal or external systems, from design and build through to production support.
• Design, build, test and maintain solutions using appropriate engineering tools and patterns, including Workday Studio, EIBs, APIs, middleware, orchestration, scripting or low-code capabilities where applicable.
• Build and improve workflow automation, intelligent integrations and AI-enabled solutions that reduce manual effort, improve employee technology experiences or increase the effectiveness of People Technology operations.
• Use AI-assisted engineering practices responsibly to improve development speed, testing, troubleshooting, documentation and solution quality, while respecting security, privacy and governance requirements.
• Act as a senior escalation point for complex integration and engineering incidents, analysing logs, payloads, timing, data mappings and system behaviour to identify root causes and implement durable fixes.
• Ensure solutions meet requirements for data accuracy, security, performance, resilience and maintainability, including during cyclical or high-risk activity such as payroll, benefits processing or major organisational changes.
• Contribute to the definition and continuous improvement of engineering standards, integration patterns, reusable components, runbooks and testing approaches.
• Partner closely with Functional, Product and Operations colleagues to clarify requirements, evaluate technical options, understand dependencies and translate business needs into practical engineering solutions.
• Explore and adopt relevant capabilities across the Workday ecosystem, including Workday Orchestrate, Extend / Build and future platform innovations, alongside appropriate external enterprise technologies.
• Maintain high-quality technical documentation and apply sound software engineering practices across solution design, testing, version control, deployment and support.
• Mentor and support more junior technical specialists, sharing engineering knowledge and helping raise capability across integrations, automation and emerging technologies.

What you’ll bring

• Typically 5–8 years of experience in integrations, systems engineering, software engineering or related technical roles, with significant responsibility for delivering and supporting live enterprise solutions.
• Strong hands-on experience designing, building and supporting Workday integrations, or equivalent integrations on enterprise HR platforms, combined with the ability to work beyond a single application or vendor ecosystem.
• Strong knowledge of integration and software engineering technologies such as APIs, REST/SOAP, XML, JSON, middleware, event or workflow orchestration, scripting, flat files, SFTP and encryption mechanisms.
• Experience applying software engineering practices such as reusable design, version control, automated or structured testing, deployment discipline and maintainable technical documentation.
• Experience with workflow automation, AI-assisted development or AI-enabled solutions in an enterprise technology environment, or a strong ability to rapidly develop capability in these areas.
• Strong understanding of enterprise data models, interface dependencies, failure modes and the security, privacy and compliance requirements associated with sensitive employee data.
• Proven ability to diagnose and resolve complex technical issues spanning multiple systems, vendors and integration patterns, and to drive durable rather than tactical fixes.
• Ability to work independently on ambiguous and complex problems, evaluate technical options, apply sound judgement and recognise when architectural concerns should be escalated.
• Strong communication and partnering skills, with the ability to explain technical issues clearly to non-technical stakeholders and collaborate effectively across Product, Functional and Operations teams.
• A relevant degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience, with curiosity and a continuous-learning mindset towards emerging engineering and AI capabilities.
• Fluency in English is required; additional languages are a plus.
