Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

Be part of an ambitious digital transformation journey, modernising the data foundations of a fast-paced, growing organisation driving operational excellence across the UK and Ireland.

The Role:

Reporting into the Head of Data and Emerging Technologies, this is a hands-on Data Architect role ideal for someone early in their architecture career (2–4 years in), looking to grow and shape their expertise in a dynamic, fast-paced setting.

You’ll support the delivery and implementation of API-driven integrations as this organisation moves away from legacy SQL environments towards a scalable, cloud-first middleware ecosystem. With Azure Logic Apps and the broader Azure stack at the heart of this transition, your work will help connect key business applications – including ERP, payroll, time and attendance, and task management – forming the backbone of a multi-year digital shift.

You won’t just be building – you’ll be collaborating across teams, influencing data modelling decisions, shaping modern data flows, and helping define what “good” looks like in a blank-slate environment.

Key Skills & Experience:

• Must-have: Experience with API integration, Azure Stack, and Azure Logic Apps
• Experience supporting or delivering integration projects, ideally in operational systems
• Familiarity with data modelling techniques and tools
• Exposure to the Microsoft Power Platform and RESTful APIs (e.g. JSON) a bonus
• Strong communication skills – comfortable working with both technical and non-technical teams
• Industry familiarity with facilities, support services, or field-based operations would be a plus

About You:

You’re a doer – motivated, curious, eager to roll up your sleeves and make an impact. You might be in your second or third role, already contributing to integration or data migration work, and now looking for a chance to take ownership and grow your capability in a more complex, cloud-based architecture.

You’ll thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic culture, working closely with a small team (currently 3) and engaging with a wider architecture community across IT and operational systems.

This is a blank-page opportunity – and we’re looking for someone who’s excited by that, not intimidated. You want to grow, take ownership, and work with a smile on your face.

Core Details:

• Type: Permanent, Full-Time
• Location: Flexible (Ireland or UK-based) – with a laptop and smartphone provided
• Start: ASAP
• Extras: Company-funded training and development for your growth
• Culture: Mature, supportive, ambitious and collaborative – a team that genuinely enjoys what they do

If you're excited by the idea of building something that lasts, growing your technical depth, and working with people who are genuinely friendly and fun – we’d love to hear from you.
