This is an opportunity to work at the heart of a major digital transformation programme, modernising legacy integrations, developing solutions across cloud and on-premise platforms, and helping shape the University's future integration capability.
Key responsibilities include:
• Designing, building and delivering enterprise integrations and data pipelines.
