HR Integration Engineer

About the role

Kuehne+Nagel is looking for an Integration Engineer to keep its IT application integrations running reliably and to improve them. The role focuses on supporting, maintaining and incrementally enhancing the existing integration landscape so that data flows correctly between systems every day. It is a strong entry point into the integration landscape, with many colleagues moving from maintenance into project delivery and solution design.

Key responsibilities

• Keep productive integrations running: monitor scheduled jobs and data flows, investigate failures, perform root-cause analysis and restore service within agreed response times.
• Implement small to medium enhancements such as new fields and mappings, adjusted business rules, SQL and transformation tuning, and better error handling, logging and alerting.
• Take requests from business units and IT colleagues, clarify what is needed and advise on what the existing solution can already do.
• Test and document changes, and verify them in production so they can be understood and maintained later.
• Set up and troubleshoot technical connectivity with partners and customers, and translate mapping instructions into working configurations and scripts.
• Improve recurring issues and manual workarounds, provide 3rd-level support and consulting, and contribute to new integration projects.

Required profile

• 2+ years of experience with Python development or scripting.
• Solid working knowledge of relational databases such as PostgreSQL, able to read, write and optimize SQL queries.
• Comfortable working in an existing codebase: reading code you did not write, debugging it and making safe, incremental changes.
• Structured, pragmatic troubleshooting approach and willingness to test, document and verify changes in production.
• Degree in Information Technology or a related field, or comparable practical experience.
• Excellent written and spoken English, reliability and a service-minded attitude.

Required skills

• Python
• SQL and PostgreSQL
• Version control (GIT)
• Nice to have: dbt, basic AWS, message-driven APIs or Kafka

What we offer

• Hands-on experience with Python, SQL, APIs and cloud-based integrations.
• Career growth opportunities toward solution design and integration architecture.
