Integration Engineer
£55k–£70k · Permanent · Remote-first
The Challenge
DigX is mid-flight on a major digital transformation programme. You'll be the technical hands behind proofs-of-concept, feasibility validation, and buildability feedback — working across F&O integration frameworks and Azure Integration Services to prove that designs work before the programme commits to them. Where they don't, you'll flag why and propose what works better.
Your job is to find problems early, recommend stronger approaches, and make sure the programme builds on proven ground — not assumptions. On a transformation this size, that matters.
This is a permanent role. You're joining during design validation and staying through build, test, and into live operations. We're not hiring you for a phase — we're hiring you for the programme.
What You'll Own
Design Validation & Proving
* Build proofs-of-concept and technical spikes that validate — or kill — proposed integration approaches
* Flag technical risks, hidden complexity, and gaps before they get signed off
* Test F&O data entities, OData endpoints, custom services, and Azure integration patterns against real-world behaviour — not just what the documentation promises
* Develop mock services, stubs, and test harnesses so designs can be validated early without waiting for full environments
* Research platform limitations, throttling behaviour, entity quirks, and integration constraints to give architects the ground truth they need
Estimation & Documentation
* Contribute to realistic feasibility assessments and effort estimates for integration workstreams — no fantasy numbers
* Produce clear configuration examples, build notes, and technical documentation that the architecture team can actually use
* Maintain a working knowledge base of what's been proved, what's been ruled out, and what needs further investigation
You'll Thrive Here If...
* You've built real integrations against F&O — you know the difference between what the documentation says data entities do and what they actually do in practice
* You've worked hands-on with Azure Integration Services (Logic Apps, API Management, Service Bus, Functions) and can stand something up quickly to test a theory
* You understand REST APIs, authentication flows, JSON/XML payloads, and the plumbing that sits between systems
* You can pick up an unfamiliar pattern, prototype it in a day, and come back with a clear answer on whether it works and what the trade-offs are
* When something breaks, you don't guess — you methodically trace the problem until you find it
* You use Git properly and care about clean commits, sensible branching, and code that someone else can pick up
Bonus points if you also bring:
* Exposure to MES, WMS, EDI, or manufacturing/operational system integrations
* Experience working in design or discovery phases — not just steady-state build
* Background in enterprise or regulated environments with formal SDLC expectations
* Microsoft certifications: AZ-204, MB-300, MB-700
Why This Role Matters
* Shape what gets built: Your technical verdict directly influences which integration approaches go forward and which get redesigned. You're not downstream of decisions — you're part of making them.
* Solve problems, not tickets: Build POCs, stress-test assumptions, and prove approaches in a role that rewards curiosity and technical rigour over throughput.
* Remote-first, on-site when it counts: Work remotely by default, with time in Stafford or at client locations only when being in the same room genuinely makes things better.
* Stay for the whole journey: Join during design validation, grow through build and test, and be part of the team that takes it live. This isn't a phase hire.
* Engineering-led culture: Clear standards, direct communication, and zero corporate theatre. Just good engineering that works.
