Integrations Engineer (Contract role, outside IR35)

Overview

This role sits within a Global Data & Systems function and is a key hire for a fast-paced, nine month data modernisation programme. The programme is re-platforming the organisation's data and reporting estate onto Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, and a modern Azure-based integration stack, while retiring Legacy MSSQL warehouses. The programme spans multiple international markets (UK, US, Hong Kong, France) and operates at high pace with significant executive visibility.

The Role

You will work with services such as APIM, Logic Apps, Function Apps, Service Bus, and Event Grid to connect enterprise SaaS systems (including HR, finance, POS, and E-commerce platforms) into data, finance, and operational systems. All new integrations are being built on Azure. There is also a Legacy Mulesoft estate currently being phased out; you will support its stability while helping migrate flows onto Azure.
