LET'S EXPLORE THE JOB
Our progressive Information Technology team are looking for an Integration Specialist who wants to do more than keep systems running, someone who wants to design the platform that connects everything.
In this role, you will own how critical systems communicate across Council. You'll architect scalable, secure integrations, shape standards, and help modernise our technology ecosystem so we can deliver smarter services to a rapidly growing community.
If you enjoy solving complex integration challenges, influencing architecture, and working on technology that has visible impact, this is the role for you.
Your key focus areas are:
* Act as the technical lead for enterprise integration, partnering with product owners, business stakeholders, vendors, and engineers to design solutions that are robust, secure, and future‐ready.

* Design API‐led integrations and automated workflows
* Collaborate with stakeholders to translate business needs into technical solutions
* Establish integration standards, governance, and best practices
* Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimise integration performance and reliability
* Ensure data integrity, security, and scalability across systems
* Provide technical leadership, mentoring, and subject‐matter expertise
You're a technically strong integration professional who enjoys connecting complex systems and seeing your solutions deliver real‐world outcomes.
You combine deep hands‐on experience with the ability to influence stakeholders and guide technical direction.
You likely have experience in environments where reliability, security, and scalability matter, and you're motivated by building solutions that stand the test of time.
Specifically, you will bring:
* Degree‐level qualifications in Computer Science or a related field and/or demonstrated experience delivering real integration solutions
* Enterprise integration platforms or middleware
* Microsoft Azure Integration Services (highly regarded)
* Boomi, Power Platform (Power Automate/RPA), or similar tools
* API design and management (REST, SOAP)
* Data formats such as JSON and XML
* Strong SQL capability (Microsoft SQL preferred)
* Understanding of security, scalability, and performance considerations
LET'S REVEAL THE PERKS
* Competitive salary from $101,090 – $117,483 plus 12% superannuation
* Hybrid working arrangements and flexible hours
* 9-day fortnight
