Job Description
A key part of HL's technology and transformation strategy is the delivery of modern, cloud native integration and data capabilities that can be adopted across the business.
These capabilities enable HL's transformation journeys by providing scalable, secure, and reusable integrations, APIs, and data products that act as trusted sources of business information.
The Senior Integration Engineer role has a dual focus:
* Designing and building cloud native integrations and APIs on AWS

* Liaising with wider Product engineering and business teams to drive integration builds and patterns for adoption across the organisation.
This role sits within the Integration team and works closely with Data Platform, Architecture, and Product teams to deliver end to end integration and data hub solutions.
