What you'll do
- Own the integrations for each deployment, including SSO and SCIM, Microsoft 365, SharePoint and OneDrive, Google Workspace, Salesforce, document management and chat tools
- Configure and connect Wordsmith to customers' wider AI and data stack through MCP
- Build, test and harden integrations so they hold up in production, not just in a demo
- Set up identity and access, including SSO with Okta, Entra ID and Google, user provisioning, roles and permissions
- Work through customers' security reviews, IT questionnaires and data-handling requirements
- Make sure permissions in Wordsmith respect the permissions in the systems it connects to
- Take the technical handover from Sales and confirm the customer's systems landscape, constraints and integration scope
- Design how data, documents and requests flow between Wordsmith and the customer's tools
- Advise customer IT on the right architecture for their environment and where the trade-offs sit
- Work with Legal Engineers to agree what each integration needs to support the workflows, agents and playbooks they're configuring
- Lead the technical workstream of each deployment, from environment setup and integration build through testing to go-live
- Diagnose and fix integration issues, and act as the escalation point for technical problems during rollout
- Know when a problem needs Engineering, and bring them a clear, reproducible case
- Turn what you learn into reusable integration patterns, setup guides and technical runbooks
- Feed connector gaps, API limitations and recurring requests back to Product and Engineering
What we're looking for
- Hands-on experience deploying and integrating enterprise SaaS in customer environments
- Strong working knowledge of identity and access, including SSO (SAML, OIDC), SCIM provisioning, Okta, Entra ID or Google Workspace
- Experience integrating with the Microsoft 365 and SharePoint, Google Workspace or Salesforce ecosystems
- Comfortable with APIs, webhooks, authentication flows and reading technical documentation; can script or write code where it helps
- Familiarity with MCP or other ways of connecting AI systems to tools and data, or a strong appetite to learn
- Credible with customer IT and security teams; can answer their questions and stand behind your architecture
- Methodical troubleshooter who isolates problems, reproduces them and fixes them
- Clear communicator who can explain a technical decision to a non-technical stakeholder
