Software Development Engineer (Data Integration)

Location: Newcastle upon Tyne (office‑based; remote applications will not be considered)

About the Role:

As a Software Development Engineer you will design, build, and maintain integration workflows on the Zynk Workflow Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS). You will leverage your expertise in C#, XML/XSLT, JSON, and modern data‑integration patterns to deliver robust, scalable solutions that connect e‑commerce, CRM, accounting, and other business systems for our customers.

Key Responsibilities:

• Workflow Design & Development – Author, optimise, and document workflows in Zynk Workflow Studio, orchestrating complex data flows that transform, enrich, and route information between disparate systems.
• Component Engineering – Extend the Zynk platform by developing new C# task adapters, connectors, and utilities that integrate REST/SOAP/GraphQL APIs, databases, and file systems.
• Data Transformation – Craft reusable XML schemas, XSLT stylesheets, and JSON mappings to translate between canonical and application‑specific data models.
• Integration Delivery – Apply integration patterns such as publish/subscribe, request/reply, file‑drop, and event‑driven processing across on‑premises and cloud endpoints.
• Quality & Observability – Implement integration tests, configure logging and metrics, diagnose performance bottlenecks, and ensure SLAs are consistently met.
• Collaboration – Partner with Solution Architects, Support Engineers, and end‑users to gather requirements, provide estimates, and iterate rapidly on feedback.
• Continuous Improvement – Contribute to coding standards, documentation, and internal knowledge‑base articles; mentor junior engineers and champion best practices.

Essential Skills & Experience:

• Proven C#/.NET development experience.
• Expert knowledge of XML, XSD, XSLT 2.0/3.0, JSON, and related transformation libraries.
• Solid understanding of canonical data models, schema design, and common B2B integration protocols (REST, SOAP, GraphQL, FTP/SFTP, EDI).
• Hands‑on experience with message queuing or event streaming technologies (e.g., RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus).
• Proficiency with GIT, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing frameworks.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with a passion for clean, maintainable code.

Desirable:

• Experience integrating accounting, ERP, or e‑commerce APIs (e.g., Sage, Xero, Shopify, Magento).
• Knowledge of SQL databases and performance tuning.
• Familiarity with containerisation (Docker) and cloud platforms (Azure, AWS).

Why Zynk?

• Work at the heart of an innovative iPaaS product used by hundreds of businesses worldwide.
• Collaborative culture that values creativity, experimentation, and continuous learning.
• Competitive salary, pension.
• Modern city‑centre office.
