Job description:

Senior Azure Integration Engineer with 7-10+ years of hands-on enterprise integration experience across Microsoft Azure Integration Services, secure API platforms, event-driven architecture, and reliable system-to-system integration. Experienced with Azure API Management, Logic Apps Standard, Azure Functions, Service Bus, Event Grid/Event Hubs, Key Vault, Application Insights, Log Analytics, Azure DevOps/GitHub, and Infrastructure as Code. Strong background building secure, supportable, and repeatable integrations across Dynamics 365, Dataverse, Fabric/Data Factory, SaaS platforms, core systems, partner APIs, and enterprise line-of-business applications.

Core AIS expertise:

• Azure API Management (APIM): enterprise API gateway design, products/subscriptions, policies, OAuth2/JWT validation, managed identities, Key Vault-backed named values, throttling/rate limiting, IP filtering, versions/revisions, developer portal, and API lifecycle management.
• Logic Apps Standard and Azure Functions: workflow orchestration, connector-based integration, C#/.NET serverless development, HTTP/timer/Service Bus triggers, VNET-integrated hosting, managed identity access, and Application Insights telemetry.
• Azure Service Bus, Event Grid, and Event Hubs: reliable messaging, pub/sub, queues, topics/subscriptions, filters, sessions, load leveling, event routing, and scalable event-driven processing.
• Batch and data movement patterns using Data Factory / Fabric Data Factory pipelines for scheduled processing, enrichment, bulk movement, and incremental integration scenarios.

Enterprise integration patterns:

• Design and implementation of synchronous API, asynchronous messaging, event-driven, and batch/data-movement integration patterns.
• Layered API architecture using Experience APIs, Process/Orchestration APIs, and System APIs to reduce point-to-point coupling and isolate backend change.
• Resilient processing patterns including retries, dead-letter queues, idempotency, duplicate detection, message sessions, sequencing, correlation IDs, replay/reprocessing, and operational error handling.
• Integration with Microsoft business applications and enterprise platforms, including Dynamics 365 / Dataverse, Finance & Operations, Fabric/Data Factory, SaaS platforms, partner APIs, and custom .NET services.

Security, networking, and governance:

• Secure Azure integration platform design using VNET integration, internal/private APIM patterns, Application Gateway/WAF, private endpoints, private DNS, NSGs, and restricted backend access.
• Identity and access patterns using Entra ID, OAuth2/JWT, managed identities, app registrations, least-privilege RBAC, and secure system-to-system authentication.
• Secrets and configuration management using Azure Key Vault, managed identity access, APIM named values, certificates, keys, and governed access controls.
• Enterprise governance practices including naming conventions, tagging, environment separation, RBAC, branch policies, release approvals, and auditability.

DevOps, IaC, and operational excellence:

• Azure DevOps and GitHub-based CI/CD using YAML pipelines, environment promotion, approvals, branch strategies, and repeatable deployment models across Dev/UAT/Prod.
• Infrastructure as Code with Bicep and/or Terraform for AIS resources, networking, Key Vault, Service Bus, APIM, Function Apps, Logic Apps, diagnostics, and shared platform components.
• API Ops / APIM automation patterns for extracting, version-controlling, validating, and promoting API definitions and policies across environments.
• Observability using Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Log Analytics, APIM diagnostics, distributed tracing, correlation IDs, dashboards, alerts, and support-oriented failure analysis.

Architecture and delivery experience:

• Produces and reviews Integration Design Documents, mapping specifications, sequence/data-flow diagrams, assumptions, constraints, test scenarios, and support handover documentation.
• Participates in discovery workshops, mapping reviews, architecture reviews, technical design sessions, KT sessions, and client-facing discussions around scope, dependencies, risks, and implementation approach.
• Works across architects, developers, data engineers, security, networking, infrastructure, and business stakeholders to deliver enterprise-grade integration solutions.
• Collaborative and agile delivery style; able to translate business requirements into secure, scalable, and supportable technical implementation patterns.

Preferred/desired qualifications:

• Microsoft Azure certification preferred or desired.
• Eligible to work in the U.S. without a visa transfer requirement.
• Enterprise consulting, integration modernization, or legacy middleware replacement experience is strongly beneficial.
