Data Platform Integration Engineer (Senior Associate)

Huron is looking for a Platform Integration Engineer (Senior Associate) to unify a diverse ecosystem of analytics applications under a coherent, scalable technology platform. The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of software engineering experience, with 3+ years focused on integration, platform, or infrastructure work, and proficiency in at least one backend language commonly used in data-intensive systems. This role requires up to 10% travel per year.

Requirements

• Audit existing analytics applications to understand their underlying technology choices, data flows, and integration points
• Design and implement integration patterns (APIs, event streams, shared data contracts) that allow siloed applications to interoperate without unnecessary rewrites
• Evaluate build vs. consolidate vs. federate tradeoffs for components across the platform, documenting your rationale and driving alignment
• Build and maintain shared platform services — authentication, observability, configuration management, logging — that reduce duplication across applications
• Develop a deep understanding of existing data pipelines owned by distributed teams — including their data sources, transformation logic, and dependencies
• Design and build a unified presentation layer that surfaces data from heterogeneous compute environments — including large-scale distributed systems (e.g., Spark) and traditional relational databases — in a consistent, accessible way
• Partner with domain teams who have the deepest knowledge of their own data — acting as an integration architect and collaborator rather than a centralized pipeline owner; identify unification opportunities but defer to domain expertise on data semantics and processing logic
• Deploy and manage platform services on cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred; Azure/GCP experience a plus)
• Contribute to infrastructure-as-code practices using tools such as Terraform, CDK, or Pulumi
• Collaborate with DevOps/SRE to define deployment pipelines and reliability standards for integration services
• Construct evidence-based business cases for cloud feature adoption — translating technical requirements into business value, risk reduction, and compliance language that resonates with IT governance and procurement stakeholders

Benefits

• Flexible remote-first or hybrid work environment
• Opportunity to define integration and platform patterns that will shape the organization’s technical direction
• Estimated base salary: $120,000 – $165,000 USD
• Estimated total compensation: $134,400 – $194,700 USD
• Eligible to participate in Huron’s annual incentive compensation program
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Other wellness programs
