Design, develop and support Azure-based integration and data solutions (ADF, Logic Apps, SSIS, WebJobs, Azure SQL) for a business-critical Microsoft platform. Troubleshoot end-to-end hybrid integration chains, implement enhancements, drive platform reliability, support security and DevOps practices, and act as senior escalation and technical lead within a managed services team.
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 WebJobs, .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.
Key Responsibilities
Integration Design & Development
· 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 WebJobs 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.
Platform Enhancement & Continuous Improvement
· 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.
Azure Engineering
·Develop and maintain solutions built using:
· Azure Data Factory
· Azure SQL
· Azure Logic Apps
· Azure Storage
· Azure App Services

·Additional expectations:
· Support the delivery of secure, scalable and resilient cloud solutions.
· Promote engineering best practices and technical standards.
Security & Assurance
· Security is a core service pillar for this platform, not a supporting activity. The successful candidate will:
· 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 GovAssure / CAF.
·Follow secure change and access-control processes appropriate to a citizen-facing public sector payments platform.
DevOps, Release & Quality Management
·Support deployment and release activities using Azure DevOps
· Contribute to CI/CD implementation and automation initiatives
· Participate in code reviews and technical quality assurance activities.
·Collaborate with development and testing teams to ensure successful solution delivery
Support continuous improvement of application lifecycle management practices.
Support continuous improvement of application lifecycle management practices.
Technical Leadership & Escalation Support
· Act as a senior technical resource within the delivery team.
· Provide expert analysis and resolution of complex integration and data-related issues.
· Perform end-to-end fault diagnosis across hybrid integration chains — e.g. SFTP → SHIR → Blob Storage → ADF → SSIS → Dynamics 365, and Dynamics 365 ↔ WebJobs ↔ payment interfaces — isolating failure points independently.
· Participate in root cause analysis and major incident investigations.
· Support knowledge sharing and mentoring within the wider engineering team.
· Contribute to technical documentation, design artefacts and operational runbooks.
· Build and maintain operational runbooks and knowledge-capture to reduce key-person dependency on a lean support team.
Stakeholder Engagement
· Work directly with customer stakeholders and delivery teams to understand technical requirements and business objectives.
· Translate business requirements into robust technical integration solutions.
· Provide technical input into roadmap planning, solution design and continual improvement initiatives.
· Build trusted customer relationships through technical expertise and quality delivery.
· Coordinate effectively within a multi-supplier operating model, managing cross-boundary issues and escalations.

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene
If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
