Azure Integration Engineer: API & App Migration in Manchester

Numi is partnering with a leading global food and beverage retailer undergoing a major digital transformation to recruit for the following position:

Role

The Integration Engineer will be hands‑on in the day‑to‑day build and operation of the company’s modern integration estate. You will primarily work on Azure (APIM, Logic Apps, Function Apps, Service Bus, and Event Grid), connecting key SaaS systems—including Workday, Oracle Simphony, NetSuite, and various e‑commerce platforms—into core data, finance, and operational systems. All new integration assets are being built on Azure. There is also a legacy Mulesoft Anypoint estate which the team is actively migrating away from; you will contribute directly to migrating these individual flows onto the modern Azure stack. Working as part of a collaborative, fast‑paced team, you will write clean, well‑tested Azure code, actively participate in peer reviews, and grow rapidly under strong technical leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Design & Build: Build, test, and operate integrations on the Azure stack, including APIs in APIM, Logic Apps workflows, Function Apps (Python or TypeScript), Service Bus topics/queues, and Event Grid subscriptions.
• API Management: Build and maintain APIs in Azure APIM, including OpenAPI specs, policies, security, and rate limiting.
• Event‑Driven Architecture: Develop message‑based integrations using Service Bus, Event Grid, and Function Apps.
• Legacy Migration: Support the controlled wind‑down of the legacy Mulesoft estate, keeping existing flows operating reliably while helping to re‑platform them onto Azure.
• Monitoring & Support: Monitor production integrations using Application Insights and Log Analytics; investigate failures and conduct root‑cause analysis.
• DevOps & CI/CD: Contribute to CI/CD pipelines for seamless integration deployment using GitHub Actions.
• Collaboration: Participate in Agile ceremonies (stand‑ups, planning, retrospectives) and support UAT cycles run by Business Analysts to bridge the technical and business sides of testing.
• On‑Call: Participate in the team’s on‑call rota for critical integration incidents.

Skills and Experience

• 3+ years of commercial experience as an Integrations Engineer or a highly similar technical role.
• Strong hands‑on experience with at least three of the following Azure integration services: APIM, Logic Apps, Function Apps, Service Bus, Event Grid (with recent production build experience in the last 12 months).
• Comfortable writing Azure Function Apps in Python or TypeScript.
• Strong API skills: REST, JSON, OpenAPI, OAuth 2.0 applied within Azure or comparable cloud environments.
• Familiarity with supporting Azure platform components (Key Vault, Managed Identity, Application Insights, Log Analytics).
• Solid experience with Git and standard branching/PR workflows.
• Proven track record of building production‑quality integrations complete with robust error handling, retry logic, idempotency, and monitoring.
• Comfortable working in an Agile, sprint‑based, fast‑paced delivery environment.
• Right to work in the UK without sponsorship.
• Relevant Microsoft Azure certifications (Developer Associate, Integration Specialty, or Solutions Architect).
• Direct experience integrating with enterprise SaaS platforms such as Workday, Oracle Simphony, or NetSuite.
• Experience with CI/CD tooling (Azure DevOps Pipelines, GitHub Actions, Bicep, ARM, or Terraform).
• Working knowledge of Mulesoft Anypoint Platform (sufficient to operate legacy flows during the migration phase; not a prerequisite for hire).
• Prior experience in retail, hospitality, quick‑service restaurants (QSR), or omnichannel businesses.
