• Engineer resilient integrations using retries, timeout handling, idempotency, reconciliation and dead-letter processing
  .
• Design solutions capable of safely handling partial failures and unavailable downstream systems.
• Implement OAuth2, service identities, certificates and enterprise authentication/authorisation patterns
  .
• Apply API versioning, lifecycle management and API gateway standards.
• Maintain auditability, traceability and appropriate handling of sensitive information across system boundaries.
• Build logging, monitoring and alerting to ensure integrations are observable and supportable in production.
• Troubleshoot complex production issues spanning multiple enterprise systems.
• Support integration testing, UAT, deployment and production rollout.

You will have 6+ years of experience in enterprise integration or backend engineering
, with strong hands-on experience designing and implementing APIs and integration services. You should bring strong knowledge of REST, JSON and HTTP
, alongside experience working with SOAP/XML and legacy enterprise integrations
. You'll also understand asynchronous messaging and event-driven architecture, including practical experience with error handling, retry strategies, idempotency and production reliability.

Hands-on development experience with Java, C#, Python, Go or a comparable backend language is required, alongside experience supporting enterprise integrations in production.
