About the role

  • Own end‑to‑end integration delivery: scope, design, build, test, and deploy integrations that meet business requirements and production‑ready standards
  • Support the CTO in running the integration process: gather requirements, structure tasks, manage execution, and deliver projects on schedule
  • Design integration solutions: architect flows using Python, REST, gRPC, Kafka, Redis, Postman, and SQL; document with UML, DFD, ERD, and BRD
  • Control project execution daily: plan sprints, track progress, remove blockers, and find workarounds to keep delivery on track
  • Manage stakeholders and scope: communicate clearly, align priorities, and prevent scope creep
  • Drive Agile/Scrum for integrations: run ceremonies, manage backlogs in YouTrack, and report status
  • Monitor and stabilize production: use Grafana and observability tools to ensure integrations stay reliable and performant
  • Take full responsibility for deadlines: deliver on time, every time, by being resourceful and persistent under pressure

Requirements

  • 3+ years of hands-on backend development experience
  • 2+ years in project management or account-facing roles where you owned delivery
  • Strong technical toolkit including Python, REST, gRPC, UML, BRD, DFD, ERD, Postman, GAP analysis, CJM, SQL, Apache Kafka, and Redis
  • Background as an acting or former backend engineer
  • Experience working with Agile/Scrum processes and tools like YouTrack and Grafana
  • Proven stakeholder management and scope-control skills
  • Strong communication and time-management skills, consistently delivering results under tight deadlines and pressure
  • English language B2+ (both writing and speaking)
  • Fluency in Russian language
  • PMI, PMP, PSM, and PSPO certifications are a plus
Benefits
  • Remote-first flexibility: fully remote role with working hours aligned to 9:30 AM – 6:30 PM UTC
  • High-impact role: your help determine how partners and customers realize value from AI employees, with clear revenue and performance outcomes attached to your work
  • Cutting-edge AI product: contribute to a platform that lets businesses and agencies deploy voice and chat AI employees in minutes across multiple channels and tools
  • Fast-moving startup environment: work in a lean, engineering-led organization that values speed, ownership, and pragmatic problem-solving over process for process’s sake
