Job description

Our Why

Datacom works with organisations and communities across Australia and New Zealand to make a difference in people’s lives and help organisations use the power of tech to innovate and grow.

About the Role (your why)

We know payroll — we’ve been accurately and compliantly processing it for over 50 years — and now we’re modernising it with our next-generation SaaS Payroll Product, Datapay.

We’re looking for a Principal Integration Engineer to lead the software development of the API / integration stream for Datapay. As a technical leader, you will play a pivotal role in the way our services connect internally and how our systems integrate with external partners. This is a hands-on role covering all phases of integration development — from architecture and technical design through to implementation and customer engagement.

You’ll collaborate with Product and Design teams, Tech Leads / Architects, and other Development teams to maximise value delivery in our Agile environment. You will shape design patterns, set coding standards, mentor engineers, and ensure the end-to-end quality of our payroll platform.

What you’ll do

As a Principal Integration Engineer you will be focused on :

  • Designing and implementing secure, performant integration patterns.
  • Leading integration development across internal services and partner solutions.
  • Defining API architecture and standards that drive a seamless, API-driven business.
  • Mentoring developers in technical skills, coding standards, and Agile practices.
  • Working closely with Product teams to deliver quality solutions on time.
  • Planning, controlling, and reporting on integration progress and performance.
  • Capturing and sharing knowledge as part of continuous improvement.
  • Ensuring compliance with design, security, and performance requirements.

We are a pretty agile company, and are keen to respond to customer, technology, and internal stakeholders’ changing requirements — this can mean we evolve in our roles to meet those needs.

What you’ll bring

Required experience :

  • Extensive experience in integration platforms, patterns, and architecture.
  • Deep knowledge of information security principles and data integrity measures.
  • Expertise in integration performance optimisation (caching, load balancing, monitoring).
  • Skilled in integrating with partner applications across multiple domains.
  • Strong capability in C# / .NET and .NET Core.
  • Experience defining integration patterns for APIs, messaging, and file transfers.
  • Experience implementing secure API management solutions on cloud platforms.
  • Knowledge of enterprise-scale composable and configurable integration service platforms.
  • Leadership experience influencing development teams and driving technical direction.
  • Strong collaborative skills for working across multi-disciplinary product and tech teams.
  • Ability to balance technical and business objectives for high-value delivery.
  • Experience with Agile delivery methodologies in SaaS product environments.
  • Why join us here at Datacom?

    Datacom is one of Australia and New Zealand’s largest suppliers of Information Technology professional services. We have managed to maintain a dynamic, agile, small business feel that is often diluted in larger organisations of our size. It's our people that give Datacom its unique culture and energy that you can feel from the moment you meet with us.

    We care about our people and provide a range of perks such as health insurance, employee discounts, social events, chill-out spaces, remote working, flexi-hours and professional development courses to name a few. You’ll have the opportunity to learn, develop your career, connect and bring your true self to work. You will be recognised and valued for your contributions and be able to do your work in a collegial, flat-structured environment.

    We operate at the forefront of technology to help Australia and New Zealand’s largest enterprise organisations explore possibilities and solve their greatest challenges, so you will never run out of interesting new challenges and opportunities. We want Datacom to be an inclusive and welcoming workplace for everyone and take pride in the steps we have taken — and continue to take — to make our environment fun and friendly, and our people feel supported.
