Senior Azure Integration & Automation Engineer

The Opportunity:

Seeking an experienced Senior Azure Integration & Automation Engineer (Contract) to design, implement, and operationalize secure, scalable Azure-based integrations and automation solutions. This role is a hands-on individual contributor, focused on delivery and platform enablement rather than people management. You will partner closely with IT, Security, and business application owners to build production-ready integrations and establish repeatable standards across the enterprise. All acronyms and technologies referenced below are defined within context.

Responsibilities

Engineering & Delivery

• Design and implement integration workflows across SaaS and internal systems using Azure Functions.

• Build, publish, and manage APIs using Azure API Management (APIM), including versioning, product configuration, and developer onboarding guidance.

• Implement APIM policies for authentication/authorization, throttling and quotas, transformation, logging, and IP filtering as required.

• Develop Azure Functions (C#/.NET, Node.js/TypeScript, or Python) for data transformation, enrichment, orchestration helpers, and lightweight services.

• Implement standardized error handling, retry logic, idempotency, and exception capture patterns.

Security, Compliance, and Operations

• Implement secrets and credential management using Azure Key Vault, including managed identity access and rotation-friendly patterns.

• Apply secure-by-default practices such as role-based access control (RBAC), least privilege, and managed identities.

• Implement centralized logging, monitoring, and alerting using Azure Monitor and Log Analytics, including correlation IDs across APIM, Logic Apps, and Functions.

• Create operational runbooks, support documentation, and handoff materials for production support teams.

Platform Enablement & Standards

• Establish reusable templates and patterns (Function App standards, APIM policy snippets).

• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for repeatable deployments and environment promotion (Dev/Test/Prod).

• Partner with stakeholders to define integration requirements, service-level expectations, and support models.

Required Skills, Experience and Education:

• Minimum 5+ years of experience in integration, automation, or cloud engineering, including 2+ years of hands-on Azure delivery.

• Proven experience with:

  • Azure API Management (APIM) – policies, products/subscriptions, authentication patterns

  • Azure Functions – serverless development (C#/.NET, Node.js, TypeScript, or Python)

  • Azure Key Vault – secrets, certificates, and managed identities

  • Azure Monitor / Log Analytics – KQL queries, dashboards, and alerts

  • Azure SQL server – data definition, queries, stored procedures

• Strong understanding of integration fundamentals: REST/JSON, webhooks, OAuth2, JWT, managed identity, retries, and idempotency.

• Experience delivering production systems with operational maturity (monitoring, alerting, and runbooks).

• Familiarity with enterprise tooling such as Git, Jira and ServiceNow.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and/or Azure DevOps.

• Experience with Terraform.

• Knowledge of Azure networking and security patterns, including private endpoints and virtual network integration.

• Experience integrating enterprise business applications such as Workday, NetSuite, ServiceNow, Microsoft 365, ADP and similar platforms.

• Experience working in regulated environments (e.g., SOC 1/2, SOX, GxP) with audit-friendly logging practices.
