About the role:

As an IT Engineer in the IT Systems & Services (ITSS) team, you will play a key role in driving scalable, secure, and intelligent automation across Catawiki’s internal systems. Your mission is to reduce manual work, enhance data and process consistency, and enable seamless cross-system experiences through well-designed, resilient integrations.

You’ll build smart, reusable automation workflows using both cloud-native infrastructure and modern Integration-Platform-as-a-Service (iPaaS) solutions such as Okta Workflows, and GCP Application Integration.

• Develop Slack Bots
Build scalable and secure Slack bots that connect to internal tools for automated actions, workflows, and notifications using Slack APIs.

• Use GCP for Backend Logic
Implement cloud-based automation with GCP services like Cloud Functions for processing, orchestration, and data handling.

• Infuse AI & LLM Capabilities
Incorporate AI-driven logic using OpenAI to enhance workflows, enable intelligent decision-making, and support natural language processing.

• Collaborate & Document
Translate business needs into technical requirements; maintain clear documentation of architecture, data mappings, automation workflows, and API logic.

• Monitor, Optimize & Secure
Monitor system health and workflow execution, troubleshoot integration issues, and enforce compliance with privacy and InfoSec standards.

What you’ll bring:

• Experience & Background

• 5+ years of experience in IT automation, system integration, or infrastructure engineering.

• Direct experience working with or managing iPaaS platforms such as Okta Workflow, N8N, Workato, Tray.io, Boomi, Zapier, or MuleSoft.

• Technical Skills

• Proficient in Python, shell script or any other programming languages for automation and scripting.

• Solid understanding of REST APIs, SOAP, Webhooks, OAuth2, JSON/XML.

• Familiarity with system integrations for tools like HiBob, Workday, Okta, Jamf, Workday, Google Workspace, and Jira.

• Cloud & Platform Knowledge

• Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (Cloud Functions). Deep knowledge of Slack APIs and building internal bots for team workflows.

• AI Integration Awareness

• Experience or familiarity integrating LLMs and AI services, including OpenAI, into automation pipelines.

• Operational & Interpersonal Strengths

• Strong analytical and debugging skills for complex, multi-system environments.

• Ability to design integrations with security, observability, and scalability in mind.

• Comfortable working cross-functionally with both technical and business teams.
