Summary:
This is an opportunity to establish a practice, not to maintain one. Integration work at the ASPCA has been delivered project by project, without a shared standard, catalog, or review path. You are being hired to change that: to define how integrations are designed, documented, reviewed, refreshed, and retired, and to hold that standard across the enterprise rather than only over your own work. The engineer who will thrive here wants to build the discipline, is energized by ambiguity, and is here because the mission is worth the difficulty.
The Sr. Integration & API Engineer designs, builds, and tests the integrations and APIs that connect the ASPCA's core business and data systems, and establishes the standards, documentation, and reusable patterns that make integration consistent, maintainable, and secure. Acting as the integration subject-matter expert, this role recommends approaches that inform architectural decisions made in partnership with internal technology stakeholders, and serves as a central point of ownership and escalation for integration and API services. The role is expected to make effective use of AI-assisted development tools to support coding and documentation, applying sound engineering judgment to validate their output, with security considerations embedded throughout.
This is a senior individual-contributor role. As the integration practice matures and the organization's needs evolve, the scope of ownership described below is designed to prepare the right candidate for a potential future people-leadership step.
Who We Are
The ASPCA is the nation's largest humane society and one of the world's leading animal welfare organizations. Our mission is to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States. The Information Technology division supports approximately 1,400 employees across New York City headquarters, shelters, clinics, mobile rescue units, and field operations nationwide.
What You’ll Do
Build the integrations that connect the systems keeping animal welfare work moving, across shelters, clinics, mobile rescue units, and field operations nationwide. As Sr. Integration & API Engineer, you will establish the ASPCA's integration discipline as a formal, well-governed practice, and deliver the connections that let our core business and data systems work as one.
The Sr. Integration & API Engineer reports directly to the VP, Technology Services and has no direct reports.

Responsibilities:
Responsibility buckets are listed in general order of importance. They include, but are not limited to:
Integration Engineering and Delivery:
* Design, build, test, and maintain the integrations and APIs that connect the ASPCA's core business and data systems, including CRM, PaaS, data warehouse, master data management (MDM), content management, and IT service management (ITSM) platforms.
* Build, validate, and thoroughly test connections to internal and external APIs to ensure reliability, performance, and data integrity.
* Develop and deliver integration solutions in-house, building durable internal capability and supporting consistent, well-documented delivery.
* Make effective use of AI-assisted development tools to support coding and documentation, validating output with sound engineering judgment and appropriate attention to security.
* Transition legacy and unsupported data feeds toward supported, standardized integration patterns to reduce technical debt and single-point-of-failure risk.
* Maintain source control repositories and development standards for all integration work, ensuring code and configuration are recoverable, auditable, and maintainable by others.
* Participate in the existing IT on-call rotation, responding to critical incidents outside business hours; because integrations will operate continuously, out-of-hours incidents affecting critical systems are treated as urgent.
Integration Practice Ownership:
* Establish and own the integration discipline end to end. Define how integrations are designed, reviewed, documented, refreshed, and retired, and hold that standard across the enterprise, not just your own work.
* Establish and maintain a living catalog of integrations and APIs, including clear ownership and a defined review and refresh schedule.
* Define documentation standards and a library of reusable integration patterns to support consistent, efficient, and high-quality delivery.
* Serve as a recognized point of ownership and escalation for integration and API issues across IT.
* Embed security review into the integration lifecycle, partnering with the information security team on API scanning, access control, and compliance.
* Align integration delivery to the organization's change enablement practice, submitting integration change through the Change Advisory Board and defining the standard change types, testing evidence, and rollback expectations for integration work.
Technical Coordination and Relationship Brokering:
* Serve as the technical liaison when systems must be connected, both between internal platforms and with approved external partners and third-party services.
* Partner with the information security team, the data team, infrastructure, web, and other internal technologists, and external vendors to align integration work with enterprise standards.
* Provide subject-matter expertise to integration architecture decisions, recommending approaches such as enterprise service bus versus direct integration for the architecture team to determine.
* Support the data team in accessing and working with enterprise data and enable secure connectivity between data sources and the systems that consume them.
Advanced Engineering and Innovation:
* Partner with internal teams to develop automations and workflows on the organization's low-
