Lead Integrations Engineer | £100,000 | Manchester (Hybrid) | Azure
We're hiring the person who owns integrations for a major consumer brand. Not a hands-off manager, not an architect who used to code. A builder who's grown into leading a team without putting the tools down.
Here's the honest version of what this role actually is: we're retiring a MuleSoft Anypoint estate and moving everything onto Azure (APIM, Logic Apps, Function Apps, Service Bus, Event Grid). You'll lead that migration end to end, line-manage 3-4 integration engineers, and still spend roughly half your week writing code yourself. If your last hands-on Azure build was a while back, this isn't the one. If you still enjoy a tricky Function App on a Friday afternoon, keep reading.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We think the person who fits this best has probably sat in a role where they've seen a lot of different client estates try to make this exact call: stay on MuleSoft or move to Azure, and if the latter, how to do it without breaking anything. If you've been the person other engineers turn to when that decision has to be made properly, not just signed off, you'll recognise this role immediately.
What you'll actually own:
- The integrations architecture for a SaaS estate spanning Workday, Oracle Symphony, NetSuite, ecommerce, and more
- The MuleSoft-to-Azure migration, safely, on a real timeline, without breaking the business mid-flight
- A team of engineers you'll manage properly: one-to-ones, growth, the lot
- The hardest, highest-risk builds, personally, in code

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
What you'll need:
- 6+ years in integration/API engineering, with Azure code you've written in the last 12 months
- Proven experience leading a team across both MuleSoft and Azure, not just working alongside one platform
- Real migration experience, not migration theory
- The ability to write a clean pull request and a clear architecture decision record in the same week
£100,000 base plus 10% bonus, private medical, pension, and a well-known brand perk or two.
Manchester city centre, three days a week in office. No sponsorship available for this one.
If you've led a client or an estate through exactly this MuleSoft-to-Azure decision before, we'd love to hear from you.
