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
