Azure Integration Technical Lead Azure Integration | Solution Design | .NET | Technical Leadership We're partnering with a well-established Australian organisation continuing to invest in its internal technology and integration capability. We're looking for a hands-on Integration Technical Lead who can combine strong solution design capability with genuine engineering depth. The Role This role sits right between solution design and hands-on engineering. You'll work with Architects, Analysts, Product Owners and business stakeholders to understand what needs to be solved, translate those requirements into robust integration designs and then remain closely involved in how those solutions are built and delivered.

You'll bring: Significant software and integration engineering experience Strong hands-on C#/.NET capability Deep experience with Microsoft Azure Integration Services Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Service Bus and API Management Strong API design experience across REST and/or SOAP Excellent understanding of enterprise integration patterns Event-driven, asynchronous and message-based architecture experience Experience designing solutions across complex enterprise environments Strong understanding of API security, authentication and authorisation Hands-on CI/CD experience, preferably Azure DevOps Experience owning solutions from requirements and design through to production and BAU Excellent troubleshooting and root-cause analysis capability Experience providing technical direction and mentoring engineers Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills You should be able to understand a complex problem, challenge assumptions, design the right solution and then stay close enough to the engineering to ensure it actually works. If you want technical leadership while remaining genuinely hands-on, we'd love to hear from you.
