Job description

Package Description

At Agincare, we believe technology should enable exceptional care. As we continue our exciting journey of growth and digital transformation, we’re investing in our systems, data, and infrastructure to support our expanding services across the UK.

We’re now looking for a Data & Integration Solution Architect to play a pivotal role in shaping our evolving digital landscape.

This is a newly created role within our IT team — a rare opportunity to build, influence, and future‑proof our data and integration ecosystem from the ground up. With scope to lead a small team in the future, this role offers real impact, visibility, and progression.

Why join us?

As Agincare’s data and integration specialist, you’ll be at the heart of our digital transformation. You’ll design and deploy integration solutions, build robust data pipelines, and support the development of Power BI reporting that helps our teams make smarter, faster decisions.

You’ll work closely with stakeholders across the business, influence technical direction, and help create a future‑proof architecture that supports our ambition. And as the role grows, there’s potential to lead a small team — giving you the chance to shape not just our systems, but our capability.

What You’ll Be Doing

Integration Solutions

Design and implement robust integration solutions (APIs, ETL, microservices, ESBs), developing reusable patterns and frameworks to ensure secure, reliable, and scalable data exchange across enterprise systems.

Middleware & Platforms

Select, configure, and manage middleware/iPaaS platforms, optimising performance, availability, and security with strong monitoring and error‑handling practices.

Data Architecture & Governance

Define data architectures, schemas, and ETL pipelines, embedding governance, quality, security, and lifecycle management to support both operational and analytical needs.

Power BI & Analytics

Collaborate with business teams to deliver high‑quality Power BI dashboards and reports, designing optimised datasets that enable accurate, timely, data‑driven decisions.

Stakeholder Engagement & Standards

Work with internal teams and vendors to align integration strategy with business goals, clearly communicating technical solutions. Produce robust documentation and establish best‑practice standards for integration and data management.

Future Leadership

Mentor junior colleagues, with scope to line manage and grow a small team as the function develops.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience designing and implementing integration solutions (APIs, ETL, microservices, ESBs) in complex enterprise environments.
• Hands‑on expertise with middleware or iPaaS platforms.
• Strong programming skills (Java, C#, Python or similar), with solid understanding of JSON, XML, REST, and SOAP.
• Experience architecting and maintaining data pipelines, ETL processes, and data warehouse/schema design.
• Skilled in Power BI (dataset design, modelling, report/dashboard delivery).
• Strong understanding of data governance, security, compliance, and performance tuning.
• Excellent communication skills — able to engage confidently with both technical and business stakeholders.
