Senior Azure Integration & Automation Engineer

W2 Contract

Pay Rate: $95 - $105 per hour

Location: Redwood City, CA - Remote Role

Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced Senior Azure Integration & Automation Engineer (Contract) to design, implement, and operationalize secure, scalable Azure-based integrations and automation solutions. This role is a hands-on individual contributor, focused on delivery and platform enablement rather than people management. You will partner closely with IT, Security, and business application owners to build production-ready integrations and establish repeatable standards across the enterprise. All acronyms and technologies referenced below are defined within context.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Design and implement integration workflows across SaaS and internal systems using Azure Functions.
• Build, publish, and manage APIs using Azure API Management (APIM), including versioning, product configuration, and developer onboarding guidance.
• Implement APIM policies for authentication/authorization, throttling and quotas, transformation, logging, and IP filtering as required.
• Develop Azure Functions (C#/.NET, Node.js/TypeScript, or Python) for data transformation, enrichment, orchestration helpers, and lightweight services.
• Implement standardized error handling, retry logic, idempotency, and exception capture patterns.
• Implement secrets and credential management using Azure Key Vault, including managed identity access and rotation-friendly patterns.
• Apply secure-by-default practices such as role-based access control (RBAC), least privilege, and managed identities.
• Implement centralized logging, monitoring, and alerting using Azure Monitor and Log Analytics, including correlation IDs across APIM, Logic Apps, and Functions.
• Create operational runbooks, support documentation, and handoff materials for production support teams.
• Establish reusable templates and patterns (Function App standards, APIM policy snippets).
• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for repeatable deployments and environment promotion (Dev/Test/Prod).
• Partner with stakeholders to define integration requirements, service-level expectations, and support models.

Requirements and Qualifications:

• Minimum 5+ years of experience in integration, automation, or cloud engineering, including 2+ years of hands-on Azure delivery.
• Proven experience with:
  • Azure API Management (APIM) – policies, products/subscriptions, authentication patterns
  • Azure Functions – serverless development (C#/.NET, Node.js, TypeScript, or Python)
  • Azure Key Vault – secrets, certificates, and managed identities
  • Azure Monitor / Log Analytics – KQL queries, dashboards, and alerts
  • Azure SQL Server – data definition, queries, stored procedures
• Strong understanding of integration fundamentals: REST/JSON, webhooks, OAuth2, JWT, managed identity, retries, and idempotency.
• Experience delivering production systems with operational maturity (monitoring, alerting, and runbooks).
• Familiarity with enterprise tooling such as Git, Jira, and ServiceNow.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and/or Azure DevOps.
• Experience with Terraform.
• Knowledge of Azure networking and security patterns, including private endpoints and virtual network integration.
• Experience integrating enterprise business applications such as Workday, NetSuite, ServiceNow, Microsoft 365, ADP, and similar platforms.
• Experience working in regulated environments (e.g., SOC 1/2, SOX, GxP) with audit-friendly logging practices.
