Senior Azure Integration Engineer

• Design, develop and enhance Azure integration and data solutions supporting critical business processes.
• Deliver new integration capabilities, automation solutions and platform improvements aligned to customer requirements.
• Develop and maintain data movement, transformation and orchestration processes using Azure-native services.
• Develop, maintain and troubleshoot Azure WebJobs and .NET background services — including batch processing, retry logic, error handling and notification mechanisms — which form a core part of the operational estate.
• Contribute to architecture discussions and technical design activities.
• Identify opportunities to improve reliability, scalability, supportability and operational efficiency.
• Participate in technical workshops and collaborate with architects, engineers and customer stakeholders.

• Lead the technical implementation of approved enhancement initiatives and change requests.
• Analyse existing integrations and recommend improvements to performance, maintainability and operational resilience.
• Identify and address technical debt across integration and data services.
• Support the adoption of new Azure capabilities and cloud-native technologies where appropriate.
• Contribute to the ongoing evolution and modernisation of the overall solution architecture.

• Azure Data Factory
• Azure SQL
• Azure Logic Apps
• Azure Storage
• Azure App Services
• Azure WebJobs
• Azure Key Vault
• SSIS packages (including the Azure-SSIS Integration Runtime) and KingswaySoft connectors for Dynamics/Dataverse data movement
• Self-Hosted Integration Runtime (SHIR) for hybrid, on-premises and SFTP-based integrations.

• Security is a core service pillar for this platform, not a supporting activity. The successful candidate will:
• Implement changes in line with secure development practices and the customer's security posture (least privilege, Managed Identities over stored secrets, Key Vault usage).
• Support vulnerability management and remediation activities across the integration estate.
• Contribute to security testing, audit evidence provision and assurance activities aligned to ISO 27001:2022, Cyber Essentials Plus and GovAssure / CAF.
• Follow secure change and access-control processes appropriate to a citizen-facing public sector payments platform.

• Support deployment and release activities using Azure DevOps.
• Contribute to CI/CD implementation and automation initiatives.
• Participate in code reviews and technical quality assurance activities.
• Collaborate with development and testing teams to ensure successful solution delivery.
• Support continuous improvement of application lifecycle management practices.

• Act as a senior technical resource within the delivery team.
• Provide expert analysis and resolution of complex integration and data-related issues.
• Perform end-to-end fault diagnosis across hybrid integration chains — e.g. SFTP → SHIR → Blob Storage → ADF → SSIS → Dynamics 365, and Dynamics 365 ↔ WebJobs ↔ payment interfaces — isolating failure points independently.
• Participate in root cause analysis and major incident investigations.
• Support knowledge sharing and mentoring within the wider engineering team.
• Contribute to technical documentation, design artefacts and operational runbooks.
• Build and maintain operational runbooks and knowledge-capture to reduce key-person dependency on a lean support team.

• Work directly with customer stakeholders and delivery teams to understand technical requirements and business objectives.
• Translate business requirements into robust technical integration solutions.
• Provide technical input into roadmap planning, solution design and continual improvement initiatives.
• Build trusted customer relationships through technical expertise and quality delivery.
• Coordinate effectively within a multi-supplier operating model, managing cross-boundary issues and escalations.
