Job description

This is a rare builder-manager role at a well-known international food and drink retailer going through a major data and systems modernisation. They're replatforming onto a modern Azure-native integration stack, retiring a legacy Mulesoft estate, and connecting enterprise SaaS systems across four global markets and they need someone who can lead the team and personally build the hardest integrations themselves. If your last hands‑on Azure build was three years ago, this isn't the one. If you still write difficult Function Apps and know how to grow a team, read on.

What you'll be doing

• Own the integration architecture for all SaaS source systems (Workday, Oracle Symphony, NetSuite, ecommerce platforms and more) all new build is on Azure
• Personally design and build the most complex, highest‑risk integrations on the Azure stack (APIM, Logic Apps, Function Apps, Service Bus, Event Grid) — this is not delegated work
• Line‑manage a team of 3-4 integration engineers: hiring, performance, one‑to‑ones, and engineering culture
• Own the controlled wind‑down of the legacy Mulesoft estate — keep it stable while migrating flows to Azure on programme timeline
• Define and enforce integration patterns, API design standards, error handling, security and observability across the team
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, test frameworks and observability dashboards in Application Insights and Log Analytics
• Act as senior technical escalation point for major integration incidents, including out‑of‑hours when required

What we're looking for

• Integration and API engineering, with a recent track record of personally building production integrations on Azure
• Hands‑on experience across the Azure integration stack: APIM, Logic Apps, Function Apps (C# or Node.js), Service Bus, Event Grid, Key Vault, Managed Identity, Application Insights
• Experience line‑managing or technically leading a small team of engineers, including hiring and developing junior talent
• Strong API design skills (REST, JSON, OpenAPI) and event‑driven patterns implemented on Azure
• Experience in real vendor/commercial accountability experience, particularly managing an MSP through a decommission or migration

What's on offer

• Competitive base salary plus bonus
• Private medical, pension, life assurance and employee perks
• Hybrid working from Manchester, 2/3 days per week in office
