Overview
- Engage closely with business stakeholders and cross‑functional technical teams to understand current and future integration needs
- Help define and shape forward looking integration and API patterns that scale across the organisation
- Translate business objectives into pragmatic integrations and data solutions, ensuring delivery is value‑led rather than purely technology‑driven
- Influence integration architecture decisions by balancing strategic direction, delivery feasibility, and measurable business outcomes
- Act as a trusted technical partner to the business, clearly articulating trade‑offs, benefits, and opportunities related to integration approaches
- Lead the design and implementation of cloud‑native integration solutions using modern AWS services and patterns
- Build and maintain secure, scalable, and reusable APIs that expose core business and data capabilities
- Apply API‑first and contract‑driven design principles to support long‑term reusability and governance
- Implement synchronous, asynchronous, and event‑driven integration patterns as appropriate
- Own and lead the engineering delivery of core data hubs and integration‑led data pipelines
- Design and implement reliable, high‑quality data pipelines aligned with HL’s SDLC and architectural principles
- Collaborate with the Data Platform team to ensure solutions align with AWS and Snowflake standards
- Contribute to the consolidation and distribution of key data domains into reusable data products
- Design and implement automated testing strategies across integrations, APIs, and data pipelines
- Drive towards a gold‑standard, fully automated testing suite, including unit, integration, data quality, and contract testing
- Embed build, test, and deployment processes into CI/CD pipelines using DevOps best practices
- Ensure solutions are observable and production‑ready through logging, monitoring, alerting, and resilience patterns
- Work across integration, data, and platform teams to enable consistent engineering patterns and standards
- Support HL’s transformation programmes by leading solutions for reliable, real‑time, and batch data movement
- Influence integration and data engineering best practices across the team
- Provide technical leadership and mentoring to other engineers where required
