  • Collaborate with business stakeholders to gather and refine requirements.
  • Challenge and co-create solutions with architects.
  • Guide and mentor fellow engineers in best practices and software hygiene.
  • Manage external suppliers: define work packages, enforce collaboration standards, and monitor delivery quality.
  • Contribute to the evolution of our DevSecOps practices and architecture aligned with the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF).
  • Support the evaluation and implementation of our future portal platform.
What We’re Looking For
  • Proven experience in leading software integration projects.
  • Deep knowledge of Azure integration services (Logic Apps, API Management, Functions, etc.).
  • Background in middleware platforms (Oracle Fusion, Mulesoft, Spring Boot).
  • Strong understanding of security, performance tuning, and scalable architecture.
  • Agile mindset with experience working in Scrum teams.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Proficiency in C# within the .NET Framework, or one or more other programming languages such as Java or Python.
  • Solid grasp of Enterprise Integration Patterns and how to apply them in real-world scenarios.
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD practices and tooling, enabling smooth and secure deployment pipelines.
  • Familiarity with version control systems like Git, and a disciplined approach to collaborative development.
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and more specifically Terraform.
