Data Integration Engineer

Location: Birmingham  

Hybrid Working

Permanent Full Time
Salary: up to £50,000

We’re looking for a Data Integration Engineer to join a growing Data & Analytics function, taking ownership of the design, development and ongoing improvement of integrations across a complex enterprise technology landscape.

This is a hands-on technical role with a broader remit around how data moves between systems, applications and platforms. You’ll work across APIs, ETL processes, integration tooling and master data, while helping establish the standards and governance needed to create reliable and scalable data flows across the organisation.

The Role

As a Data Integration Engineer, you’ll work closely with technical teams and business stakeholders to understand integration requirements and translate these into effective technical solutions.

You’ll be responsible for designing and implementing integrations between a range of systems, ensuring data moves accurately, securely and efficiently. Alongside delivery, you’ll play an important role in improving the organisation’s wider approach to integration architecture, master data management and data governance.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Designing, developing and implementing data integrations across multiple systems and applications
• Building and maintaining API-based integrations and ETL/ELT processes
• Working with stakeholders to capture business requirements and translate them into technical requirements and solution designs
• Monitoring existing integrations and identifying opportunities to improve performance, reliability and efficiency
• Troubleshooting integration issues, identifying root causes and implementing appropriate fixes
• Supporting the development and implementation of Master Data Management (MDM) practices across critical business data
• Developing technical solutions that improve data quality, accuracy, consistency and integrity
• Contributing to integration governance, standards and best practices
• Helping establish consistent approaches to how integrations are designed, documented and maintained
• Supporting and providing technical guidance to data practitioners and users across the wider organisation
• Challenging existing ways of working and identifying opportunities to improve the integration landscape

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with proven experience working as a Data Integration Engineer, Integration Developer, Integration Specialist or within a similar technical integration-focused role.

Expectations:

• Strong experience designing and implementing integrations between enterprise systems
• Hands-on experience working with APIs, including REST-based integrations
• Good knowledge of ETL/ELT processes and data integration principles
• Experience working with data integration or middleware platforms
• Understanding of Master Data Management (MDM) principles and approaches
• Good knowledge of data governance, data quality and data integrity
• Experience translating business requirements into technical requirements and solution designs
• The ability to capture requirements using structured user stories
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
• The ability to explain technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to take ownership of integration projects from requirements through to delivery
• Desirable Experience
• Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC)

• Oracle Data Integrator (ODI)
• Boomi
• Informatica
• Fivetran
• Similar enterprise integration, iPaaS or data integration platforms

Experience working within Agile delivery environments using Scrum, sprint-based delivery or Kanban would also be beneficial.

The Opportunity

This is a strong opportunity for an Integration Engineer who wants more than simply building point-to-point integrations.

You’ll have the opportunity to influence how integration is approached across a large technology environment, helping shape standards around APIs, data movement, master data and governance while remaining hands-on with the technical delivery.
