Your key responsibilities will include:

• Integration delivery and lifecycle: Design, build, test, deploy and maintain secure, scalable integrations on Boomi or equivalent, managing change, release, version control and upgrades across the full lifecycle.
• Operational reliability: Own production integration services, monitoring performance, resolving incidents and root causes, and ensuring integrations meet agreed service levels.
• Security, standards and assurance: Build security, privacy and audit requirements into every solution, and conduct design reviews that validate compliance with IDS integration principles, guardrails and standards.
• Capability and continuous improvement: Maintain reusable patterns, API standards and technical documentation, and use service metrics to improve the reliability, supportability and cost-effectiveness of integration services.

You are a hands-on integration professional who enjoys solving complex technical problems and takes pride in building solutions that are secure, well documented and easy to support.

Your analytical skills are matched by strong written communication, including the ability to produce quality design documents, interface specifications, work instructions and change requests. You build strong working relationships and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences, using your influence and negotiation skills to guide stakeholders, project teams and vendors through the design, delivery and support of integration solutions.

You also possess:

• Extensive hands-on experience delivering application and data integration solutions across the full lifecycle, from requirements and design through testing, deployment and transition to support.
• Proven expertise developing, configuring and supporting an enterprise integration platform (such as Boomi or equivalent), with strong knowledge of API design, integration patterns, data mapping and error handling.
• Demonstrated ownership of production integration services, ensuring they are reliable, scalable and maintainable through incident resolution, root cause analysis, performance optimisation and operational reporting.
• A sound understanding of integration security, privacy, access control and audit requirements, and the ability to undertake technical design reviews that assess compliance with architecture principles, guardrails and standards, and recommend corrective actions.
• Experience with integration testing, release management and change control, and with improving capability through reusable patterns, automation, documentation and continuous improvement.
• Demonstrated technical leadership through design guidance, knowledge sharing and mentoring, and experience delivering in agile, scaled agile or matrix environments.

The ideal candidate will also hold an appropriate tertiary qualification in Information Technology or a relevant technical area, and / or equivalent relevant experience in an IT environment. Experience in the higher education sector will be highly regarded.
