We are seeking a hands‑on Integration Developer with recent, proven, and demonstrable experience delivering SQL Server–based integrations in operational, transactional environments that run on schedules or triggers, move data between live systems, and require monitoring, incident handling and safe reruns.

Experience must include T‑SQL, SSIS, and end‑to‑end ownership of integration workflows, including design, build, monitoring, incident handling, and safe reruns.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build and maintain SQL Server and SSIS‑based integrations across multiple systems
• Implement restartable, idempotent, and supportable integration patterns
• Design and maintain staging layers, including validation, cleansing, row‑count checks and audit trails
• Diagnose and resolve integration issues, including duplicates, missing records, late‑arriving data and schema changes
• Work with analysts and testers to clarify requirements, define rules and ensure integrations behave as expected
• Collaborate with operations teams to ensure integrations are monitored, logged and support‑ready
• Produce clear technical documentation, including design specs, support guides and data flow diagrams
• Apply best practices for performance, security, error handling and operational resilience
• Contribute to continuous improvement of integration patterns, tooling and processes

Role Criteria: (must be clearly evidenced in your CV and cover letter)

• Please ensure your CV and cover letter clearly describe your personal contribution to the integrations you reference.
• Recent, hands‑on experience delivering integrations using SQL Server, T‑SQL and SSIS
• Experience designing restartable and safe‑to‑rerun SSIS packages
• Experience with incremental loads, matching logic, staging patterns, and data quality controls
• Experience diagnosing and resolving operational integration issues
• Experience working with analysts, testers or operations teams in a delivery environment
• Ability to produce clear, structured technical documentation
• Strong problem‑solving skills with lived examples of applied experience
• Ability to manage workload, prioritise issues and work independently

• Experience in housing, repairs, field services or similar operational domains
