Job description

I’m working on a really interesting opportunity for a Lead Data Integration Developer to take ownership of a business-critical integration platform while helping to modernise a legacy SSIS environment.

This isn’t your typical ETL/Data Engineering role. The focus is much more around application integration, workflow and owning a critical process end-to-end, while helping the business move towards a more modern Azure-based environment.

What they’re looking for:

• Strong hands‑on experience with SSIS and SQL Server/T‑SQL
• Experience across application integration, APIs, messaging and orchestration
• A background owning and supporting business‑critical production systems
• Experience improving or modernising legacy integration environments, ideally with exposure to Azure
• Someone comfortable taking the technical lead – reviewing code, mentoring developers and driving best practice
• Financial services experience ideally but not a deal break

There’s a wider transformation happening around the platform, so they’re not looking for someone to simply come in and maintain SSIS. They want someone who can understand what’s there today, take ownership of it and help move it forward.

The sweet spot is someone with strong SSIS/integration experience who has either been through a modernisation journey before or is ready to take that next step.
