The Opportunity:

Seeking an experienced Senior Azure Integration & Automation Engineer (Contract) to design, implement, and operationalize secure, scalable Azure-based integrations and automation solutions.

• Implement standardized error handling, retry logic, idempotency, and exception capture patterns.

Security, Compliance, and Operations

• Implement secrets and credential management using Azure Key Vault, including managed identity access and rotation‑friendly patterns.

• Apply secure‑by‑default practices such as role‑based access control (RBAC), least privilege, and managed identities.

• Implement centralized logging, monitoring, and alerting using Azure Monitor and Log Analytics, including correlation IDs across APIM, Logic Apps, and Functions.

• Create operational runbooks, support documentation, and handoff materials for production support teams.

Platform Enablement & Standards

• Establish reusable templates and patterns (Function App standards, APIM policy snippets).

• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for repeatable deployments and environment promotion (Dev/Test/Prod).

• Partner with stakeholders to define integration requirements, service‑level expectations, and support models.

Required Skills, Experience and Education:

• Minimum 5+ years of experience in integration, automation, or cloud engineering, including 2+ years of hands‑on Azure delivery.

• Proven experience with:

  • Azure API Management (APIM) – policies, products/subscriptions, authentication patterns

• Experience integrating enterprise business applications such as Workday, NetSuite, ServiceNow, Microsoft 365, ADP and similar platforms.

• Experience working in regulated environments (e.g., SOC 1/2, SOX, GxP) with audit‑friendly logging practices.
