This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who has built and operated complex system-to-system integrations across Java microservices, event-driven architectures, edge environments, and cloud platforms.\nYou will work on both standards-based and custom integrations spanning external data providers, identity and verification services, biometric and peripheral devices, access-control systems, and country- or customer-specific third-party platforms. The environment ranges from low-power edge clusters in austere locations to large, centralized deployments to cloud-forward AWS architectures.\nThis role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys solving hard interoperability problems, modernizing legacy interfaces, and building resilient integrations that operate reliably under real-world network, performance, and operational constraints.\nWhat you will do\nDesign, build, and maintain secure, reliable integrations between a distributed platform and third-party systems using REST APIs, asynchronous messaging, secure file/data exchange, and device/peripheral interfaces\nModernize legacy integrations into Java-based microservices running in a distributed platform architecture\nBuild integrations across edge, data center, and AWS cloud deployment models\nEngineer for resilience, observability, auditability, latency, and intermittent/low-bandwidth network conditions\nIntegrate with government and commercial systems such as identity and verification services, traveler data platforms, biometric and document-capture peripherals, and access-control and gate systems\nDefine interface contracts, schemas, versioning strategies, retry/idempotency behavior, and certification/test approaches\nTroubleshoot issues across application, data, messaging, and network layers\nPartner closely with software, cloud, network, QA, field engineering, analytics/observability, and security teams\nRequired qualifications\nBachelor's Degree in Computer Science or a related technical field or equivalent experience.\nMinimum 12 years of experience in software engineering or systems integration\nStrong hands-on experience building Java-based distributed services\nProven production experience with API integration and event-driven messaging\nExperience with one or more of the following:RabbitMQ, Kafka, JMS, AMQP, or similar messaging platforms\nMongoDB, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, or comparable data platforms\nAWS deployment and operations in production environments\n\nExperience designing and supporting integrations in high-availability, mission-critical, or regulated environments\nStrong understanding of integration concerns such as authentication/authorization, certificate-based security, schema evolution, error handling and retries, observability and supportability\nExperience modernizing legacy or monolithic integrations into service-oriented or microservices-based architectures\nAbility to work effectively in a highly collaborative engineering environment with direct ownership of delivery outcomes\nPreferred qualifications\nExperience with HashiCorp tooling, especially Consul, Nomad, and Vault, or with adjacent platforms whose skills transfer quickly\nExperience with AWS-native services and infrastructure automation\nFamiliarity with ELK, Grafana, Kibana, Logstash, or other observability stacks\nExperience integrating biometric devices, document readers, cameras, license plate readers, or other field peripherals\nExperience with degraded, disconnected, or low bandwidth environments\n We are committed to our planet:\nIn each project we design, engineer and operate we care deeply about the legacy we’re leaving behind. As part of our team, you’ll have a unique opportunity to use your skills and expertise to shape a better future for our communities in the UK, and all around the globe.\nOur commitment is translated in the work carried out by our Egis Foundation, which funds concrete actions to address the climate crisis and is focused on educational and social initiatives that will help in the responsible and sustainable shift towards a sustainable world.\nDiversity & Inclusion:\nWe are an Equal Opportunities employer and we strive to build a workforce that truly reflects the communities we represent.
