Codec is seeking an experienced Senior Azure Integration Engineer to join a dedicated team responsible for the ongoing development, enhancement and evolution of a business-critical Microsoft application platform supporting essential public services.

The successful candidate will play a key role in designing, developing and enhancing integration and data solutions built on Microsoft Azure. Working within a highly collaborative multidisciplinary team, the role will focus on delivering new functionality, modernising integration processes, improving platform reliability and driving continual improvement across a complex enterprise application estate.

The solution integrates Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE, Dataverse, Microsoft Power Platform and Azure Integration Services, providing the opportunity to work across a modern cloud technology stack supporting critical business processes and citizen outcomes.

This is a managed application support and continuous improvement engagement rather than a greenfield build. Because the platform is business-critical and citizen-facing, the role demands the ability to troubleshoot end-to-end across the full integration chain without extensive handoffs from on-premises and SFTP sources, through the Azure integration tier, into Dynamics 365 and out to downstream payment interfaces.

The estate spans both classic data-integration technologies (ADF, SSIS, Azure SQL) and application-level components (Azure Web Jobs, .NET services), so breadth of hands-on capability across that boundary is essential.

In addition to development and enhancement activities, the role will provide technical expertise in the investigation and resolution of complex integration and data-related issues, acting as a senior escalation point where deep technical knowledge is required.

This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong Azure professional who enjoys solving challenging integration problems, working with modern cloud technologies and contributing to the long-term evolution of a strategically important Microsoft platform.

• Design, develop and enhance Azure integration and data solutions supporting critical business processes.
• Deliver new integration capabilities, automation solutions and platform improvements aligned to customer requirements.
• Develop and maintain data movement, transformation and orchestration processes using Azure-native services.
• Develop, maintain and troubleshoot Azure Web Jobs and .NET background services – including batch processing, retry logic, error handling and notification mechanisms – which form a core part of the operational estate.
• Contribute to architecture discussions and technical design activities.
• Identify opportunities to improve reliability, scalability, supportability and operational efficiency.
• Participate in technical workshops and collaborate with architects, engineers and customer stakeholders.

• Lead the technical implementation of approved enhancement initiatives and change requests.
• Analyse existing integrations and recommend improvements to performance, maintainability and operational resilience.
• Identify and address technical debt across integration and data services.
• Support the adoption of new Azure capabilities and cloud-native technologies where appropriate.
• Contribute to the ongoing evolution and modernisation of the overall solution architecture.

• Develop and maintain solutions built using Azure Data Factory, Azure SQL, Azure Logic Apps, Azure Storage, Azure App Services, Azure Web Jobs, Azure Key Vault, SSIS packages (including the Azure-SSIS Integration Runtime) and Kingsway Soft connectors for Dynamics/Dataverse data movement, and Self-Hosted Integration Runtime for hybrid, on-premises and SFTP-based integrations.

• Support the delivery of secure, scalable and resilient cloud solutions.
• Promote engineering best practices and technical standards.

• Implement changes in line with secure development practices and the customer's security posture (least privilege, Managed Identities over stored secrets, Key Vault usage).
• Support vulnerability management and remediation activities across the integration estate.
• Contribute to security testing, audit evidence provision and assurance activities aligned to ISO 27001:2022, Cyber Essentials Plus and Gov Assure / CAF.
• Follow secure change and access-control processes appropriate to a citizen-facing public sector payments platform.

• Support deployment and release activities using Azure Dev Ops.
• Contribute to CI/CD implementation and automation initiatives.
• Participate in code reviews and technical quality assurance activities.
