- Capability and continuous improvement: Maintain reusable patterns, API standards and technical documentation, and use service metrics to improve the reliability, supportability and cost-effectiveness of integration services.
- Collaboration and technical leadership: Work with Integration and Solution Architects, product owners, project teams and vendors, providing design guidance and mentoring to promote consistent engineering practice.
By delivering dependable integrations that connect systems and data across Flinders, the role underpins digital transformation and helps ensure technology is implemented in an ethical, sustainable and agile way.

You build strong working relationships and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences, using your influence and negotiation skills to guide stakeholders, project teams and vendors through the design, delivery and support of integration solutions.
You also possess:
- Extensive hands-on experience delivering application and data integration solutions across the full lifecycle, from requirements and design through testing, deployment and transition to support.
- Proven expertise developing, configuring and supporting an enterprise integration platform (such as Boomi or equivalent), with strong knowledge of API design, integration patterns, data mapping and error handling.
- Demonstrated ownership of production integration services, ensuring they are reliable, scalable and maintainable through incident resolution, root cause analysis, performance optimisation and operational reporting.
- A sound understanding of integration security, privacy, access control and audit requirements, and the ability to undertake technical design reviews that assess compliance with architecture principles, guardrails and standards, and recommend corrective actions.
- Experience with integration testing, release management and change control, and with improving capability through reusable patterns, automation, documentation and continuous improvement.
- Demonstrated technical leadership through design guidance, knowledge sharing and mentoring, and experience delivering in agile, scaled agile or matrix environments.
