Senior Integration Engineer

TVNZ is on a transformative journey, transitioning from a broadcast-centric business to a digital-first media powerhouse. At the heart of this is the creation and deployment of a new, unified digital technology platform - a pivotal foundation for our future.

The Opportunity - Te tūranga:

In this role as Senior Integration Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in delivering robust, scalable integration solutions on our new integration platform. You will contribute hands-on expertise in cloud-native technologies, modern software engineering practices, and integration patterns to connect systems and streamline operations across TVNZ's digital ecosystem.

You will work collaboratively with the Integration Lead, architects, developers, and business stakeholders to design and implement integrations that are secure, reliable, and aligned with TVNZ's strategy. You will also contribute to modernising legacy integrations, mentoring developers, and embedding best practices into the integration engineering discipline.

Your focus will be to:

• Design, build, and maintain integrations using AWS-native services and TypeScript (programming language) in line with platform standards and architectural guidance.
• Lead the migration of iPaaS-based and legacy on-prem integrations to the new Integration Platform.
• Mentor junior developers on clean code practices, modular design, and AWS development.
• Contribute to shaping the future state of TVNZ's integration architecture, including the use of event-driven and microservices-based approaches.
• Develop and enforce reusable integration components and coding standards aligned with TVNZ's integration framework.
• Collaborate with architects, platform engineers, and security to ensure scalable, observable, and secure integration solutions.
• Work closely with stakeholders across teams to clarify integration requirements, timelines, and acceptance criteria.
• Lead proof-of-concept development and evaluate new tools, patterns, or approaches for integration.
• Participate in governance practices, including naming conventions, versioning strategies, and API lifecycle management.
• Provide production support and lead incident resolution or root cause analysis when needed.

This is a 12 month fixed term contract
