Principal Integration Engineer

Key Responsibilities • Act as the principal technical authority for integration engineering across Maximus UK, providing deep leadership across Boomi-based integration solutions. • Define and maintain integration engineering standards, patterns, guardrails, and best practices for system-to-system integrations, APIs, events, and workflows. • Provide hands-on technical leadership for the design and implementation of complex integrations built on Boomi and related integration technologies. • Design scalable integration architectures connecting cloud services, SaaS platforms, enterprise applications and data platforms. • Drive adoption of modern integration patterns, including API-first design, event-driven architectures, microservices-aligned integrations, and reusable integration components. • Guide the team's technical direction, improve engineering quality, and support consistent delivery standards. • Lead technical discovery sessions, design workshops, and integration architecture discussions with business stakeholders, architects, product teams, and engineering colleagues. • Translate business and operational requirements into robust integration designs and implementation plans that balance speed, resilience, supportability, and long-term value. • Establish governance approaches for integration code quality, peer review, CI/CD, testing, deployment, observability, and operational readiness. • Ensure integrations are secure by design, with appropriate controls for authentication, authorisation, encryption, auditability, and protection of sensitive data including PII and PHI. • Drive the development of reusable integration components, frameworks, and reference implementations that improve delivery speed, quality, and consistency across projects. • Mentor and develop integration engineers, raising technical capability, architectural understanding, and engineering discipline across the integration team. • Evaluate opportunities to simplify the integration and automation estate, reduce platform dependency, and introduce more cost-effective and flexible integration approaches. • Collaborate with automation specialists (e.g. Automation Anywhere engineers) to define clear boundaries between integration and automation layers and ensure coherent end-to-end designs. • Monitor technology trends, platform capabilities, and industry best practice in integration engineering, using insight and evidence to evolve the organisation's integration roadmap Essential Skills - What You'll Bring • Significant experience in integration engineering. • Strong hands-on expertise with the Boomi Integration Platform, including process design, orchestration, integration development, API exposure, and enterprise deployment patterns. • Proven experience designing scalable enterprise integration architectures across cloud services, SaaS platforms, enterprise applications and APIs. • Experience delivering complex multi-system integrations that are secure, resilient, observable, and supportable in live operational environments. • Strong understanding of API-led integration, service orchestration, event-driven patterns, and modern approaches to enterprise integration. • Practical experience with REST and SOAP APIs, message-based integrations, and event or streaming technologies. • Experience integrating enterprise platforms such as Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday, SAP, ERP, CRM, or case management solutions. • Strong understanding of data transformation, mapping, validation, and the controls required to maintain data integrity and reliability across integrated systems. • Strong understanding of secure integration practices, including authentication, authorisation, encryption, API security, and the protection of sensitive data such as PII and PHI. • Experience defining integration engineering standards, governance approaches, code review practices, and CI/CD patterns for integration deliveries. • Ability to lead integration architecture reviews, technical workshops, and design sessions, and to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences. • Experience mentoring and guiding integration engineers, helping them improve design quality, coding practices, and architectural awareness. • Ability to assess new integration technologies and platform capabilities pragmatically, balancing innovation, cost, maintainability, and delivery risk. • Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills, with the ability to navigate technical complexity, manage trade-offs, and provide clarity in ambiguous situations. Desirable Skills - What Makes You Stand Out • Boomi Professional, Boomi Architect, or equivalent integration platform certifications. • Experience working on public sector, health, or other regulated digital transformation programmes with strong security and compliance requirements. • Familiarity with UK Government digital and security expectations, or similarly governed delivery environments. • Exposure to automation technologies (e.g. Automation Anywhere) and AI-enabled orchestration, and an understanding of how they complement core integration patterns EEO Statement • MAXIMUS is committed to developing, maintaining and supporting a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion throughout the recruitment process. We know that feeling included has a dramatic impact on personal wellbeing and are working to ensure that no job applicant receives less favourable treatment due to any personal characteristic.
