Principal Integration Engineer

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.
