Job description

We are working with a leading technology consultancy who require an experienced Azure Integration Architect to support a greenfield ERP integration project.

The role will focus on redesigning legacy SQL-based integrations into a modern Azure Integration Services architecture. You will lead the design and documentation of a scalable, event-driven integration solution using technologies such as Azure Service Bus, Azure Functions, Logic Apps, API Management, Key Vault and App Configuration.

This is not a purely advisory role. We are looking for someone who can own the architecture, produce clear design documentation, communicate decisions to technical and non-technical stakeholders, and also contribute hands‑on during the build phase.

Key responsibilities:

• Lead the design of enterprise integration solutions using Azure Integration Services
• Redesign legacy SQL-based integrations into a modern Azure architecture
• Evaluate and recommend appropriate integration patterns, including messaging, event‑driven, API-based and file-based approaches
• Produce clear architecture documentation, including solution overviews, data flow diagrams, component descriptions and decision rationale
• Create design artefacts and architecture decision records that can be maintained by the internal team
• Work closely with technical teams to support the build and deployment of Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Service Bus and API Management solutions
• Support design reviews, documentation checkpoints and stakeholder discussions
• Help upskill the internal team through collaborative delivery
• Strong Azure Integration Services architecture experience
• Hands‑on knowledge of Azure Service Bus, Azure Functions, Logic Apps and API Management
• Previous ERP integration experience, ideally Unit4 ERP / Agresso or a similar enterprise business system
• Experience designing event‑driven, messaging‑based and API‑led integration solutions
• Experience with environment‑segregated architecture across dev, test and production
• Knowledge of Key Vault, App Configuration, managed identities and Azure IAM patterns
• Ability to produce professional architecture documentation and present design decisions clearly
• Practical build experience, not just high‑level architecture
• Familiarity with CI/CD for Azure integration services, ideally Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions
• Microsoft certifications such as AZ‑204, AZ‑305 or equivalent
• Experience working in consultancy or project‑based delivery environments

This role would suit an Azure Integration Architect, Integration Solutions Architect or hands‑on Azure Technical Architect who has delivered ERP integration projects and is comfortable combining design leadership with practical delivery.
