Te Tūranga – About the role 

Are you passionate about building smart, scalable integration solutions that power seamless data flow across systems? As our Data Integration Engineer, you’ll play a key role in designing, developing, and maintaining modern integration frameworks that connect everything from POS and eCommerce to loyalty platforms and supplier systems. You’ll be the go-to expert for ensuring real-time, secure, and reliable data movement — enabling better decision-making and smoother customer and partner experiences.

Working with cloud-native technologies (primarily Microsoft Azure), you'll collaborate with cross-functional teams and external partners to deliver robust API, ETL, and event-driven integrations. This is a great opportunity to apply your technical skills while influencing architecture, automation, and data quality standards across the business.

-       Lead the design and development of scalable, secure integrations across Liquorland’s digital and operational ecosystem.

-       Build and manage real-time API and ETL flows using Azure and other cloud-based integration tools.

-       Collaborate with internal teams and external vendors to align integration designs with business needs.

-       Define and implement data quality, logging, and error-handling frameworks to ensure reliability and traceability.

-       Contribute to integration architecture, documentation, and reusable patterns that support long-term growth and efficiency.
