Job description
As a Lead Configuration & Integration Engineer, Customer Services at Brightflag, you will play a critical role within our Professional Services team, owning the end-to-end delivery of integrations between Brightflag and customer systems. This is a full-stack, customer-facing role that spans project management, requirements gathering, solution design, implementation, testing, and delivery. This is not a traditional solutions or integrations role; you will be directly contributing to how Brightflag evolves from a code-driven integration model to an AI-accelerated delivery engine. If you're someone who can both build integrations today and reimagine how they should be built tomorrow, this role gives you a chance to have outsized impact.
You will work directly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders to understand business needs, design scalable integration solutions, and deliver high-quality outcomes. You'll be responsible not only for defining what should be built, but also for building it-leveraging existing APIs, data transformations, and increasingly, generative AI tools.
This role sits at the center of a major transition in how we deliver integrations. Today, we rely on a mix of custom code and internal tooling. We are moving rapidly toward an AI-assisted model using tools such as Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. You will be expected to operate effectively in both worlds-bringing hands-on experience with traditional integration development while helping us evolve toward faster, more scalable, AI-driven delivery.
Success in this role requires strong ownership, technical depth, excellent communication skills, and a mindset focused on continuous improvement-helping us not just deliver integrations, but transform how we deliver them.

Help define and evolve Brightflag's integration methodology, including templates, standards, and best practices

Identify opportunities to increase efficiency through automation and AI-assisted workflows, This role offers flexible working arrangements.

5+ years of experience delivering API-based integrations in a customer-facing or solutions engineering role
