Datacom is hiring a Technical Lead - Integration (Java Spring Boot)

Responsibilities

  • Lead integration delivery teams across complex, end-to-end implementations.
  • Set and uphold technical standards, patterns, and best practices.
  • Be the go-to technical authority — unblocking problems, reviewing code, and making architecture decisions that matter.
  • Own delivery quality across the full SDLC, from design through to production.
  • Design and build robust, scalable, and secure integration solutions across a modern toolset.
  • Apply API-led connectivity, event-driven architecture, and asynchronous messaging patterns at enterprise scale.
  • Apply AI tooling within your own workflow and help your team do the same — from code generation to automated testing to smarter monitoring.
  • Help shape Datacom's growing AI-in-integration capability and be one of the people who can say: "I helped build that."
  • Coach and grow engineers at all levels — sharing knowledge, building confidence, and lifting capability across the practice.
  • Foster a culture of curiosity, quality, and continuous improvement.

Requirements

  • 5+ years delivering enterprise integration solutions, with 1–2+ years in a lead or senior capacity.
  • Hands-on experience with integration platforms — MuleSoft, Azure Integration Services, Kafka, Solace, Kong, Dell Boomi, Java Spring.
  • Strong API design — REST, versioning, security, governance, and documentation.
  • DevOps and CI/CD (Azure DevOps, Jenkins, Git CI/CD), Cloud (Azure or AWS), and Containers (Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift, AKS, EKS).
  • Proven ability to lead technical teams and drive delivery outcomes.
  • A mentor's mindset — you lift the people around you.
  • Clear communicator across both technical and stakeholder audiences.
  • Genuinely curious about AI-enabled integration, continuously learning, and always thinking about what's next.

Nice to Have

  • Practical experience applying AI tools in an engineering or integration context is a genuine advantage — we want to grow this together.
  • Experience in regulated or enterprise industries (government, finance, health).
  • Exposure to pre-sales, solution shaping, or client-facing consulting.
  • Familiarity with emerging AI frameworks relevant to integration workflows.

Benefits

  • Work on some of the most complex integration challenges in Australia and New Zealand — at a moment when AI is fundamentally reshaping the space.
  • Be part of a practice that genuinely invests in its people — real professional development, a collaborative culture, flexible hybrid working, and work that actually stretches you.
