People Integrations and AI Architect
About The Position
Legora is seeking a senior, hands-on individual contributor to shape how its People technology ecosystem connects, automates, and evolves. The role owns the integration architecture connecting the core HRIS with the wider technology stack and builds AI-native capabilities that help employees, managers, and the People team get things done. The architect will establish the foundations of Legora’s global People technology ecosystem, making architectural decisions as the HRIS implementation begins. The role involves building integrations and making HRIS data and workflows usable by agents, automations, and MCP servers. It works closely with People Technology, IT, Security, Legal, and other functional stakeholders, balancing innovation and speed with reliability, security, and scalability. The position combines integration engineering expertise with emerging technology. It will define technical standards and governance, develop AI agents and intelligent workflows, establish security and reliability controls, and provide technical leadership across the integration lifecycle. The work will help Legora scale its People infrastructure and improve employee and manager experiences through faster processes and less manual work.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in enterprise integrations, software engineering, or technology architecture, including significant hands-on experience designing and building integrations for enterprise HR systems.
- Deep technical expertise integrating major enterprise HRIS platforms, including complex employee data flows, security models, APIs, and downstream system dependencies.
- Strong experience with APIs, integration patterns, and middleware or iPaaS platforms such as Workato, Boomi, or MuleSoft.
- Strong command of REST, SOAP, OAuth 2.0, JSON, XML, XSLT, and webhooks.
- Experience with at least one scripting language, such as Python or JavaScript.
- Demonstrated experience moving AI agents or LLM-powered integrations from experimentation into production, including secure tool access, permissions, human-in-the-loop controls, and reliability and impact measurement.
- Strong understanding of enterprise security, data privacy, and integration governance, including authentication, role-based access, monitoring, auditability, and safe deployment practices.
- Experience working within security and compliance frameworks such as SOC 2 or SOX, with understanding of audit requirements, data governance, and handling sensitive employee information.
- A product mindset and understanding of how technology can simplify employee and manager experiences.
- Ability to influence technical direction without formal authority, communicate complex concepts clearly, and work across engineering, security, and non-technical business teams.
- Proactive, hands-on approach; comfort operating in ambiguity, experimenting with emerging technologies, and taking ownership from architecture through production with a bias to ship, test, and iterate.
- Fluency in English.
