Job description

Thames Valley Integrated Care Board is looking for a Senior Integration and Platform Developer to provide senior technical leadership in the design, development and delivery of our cloud-based data, integration and interoperability services.

You’ll play a central technical role in one of the largest Connected Care programmes in the country, working alongside the Lead Platform Engineer to shape how data integration and Azure infrastructure support direct patient care for 2.5 million people across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire., Leading hands-on technical delivery across development, coding, data engineering and interoperability workstreams for our Connected Care platform.

Supporting and maintaining Azure-based data and integration platforms, including Azure Data Factory, Azure SQL and Azure Health Data Services.

Ensuring delivered solutions meet agreed quality, performance, security and interoperability standards, including FHIR.

Leading project teams in the delivery of integration and platform work, managing risks, dependencies and stakeholders.
