at Tomra
🏢 About Tomra
TOMRA is a global leader in advanced collection and sorting systems, dedicated to transforming how the world obtains, uses, and reuses resources. Their mission to enable a circular, waste-minimized economy makes them a purpose-driven company where your work directly contributes to environmental sustainability. Joining TOMRA means being part of a forward-thinking organization that values innovation and collaboration.
About This Role
As an Integrations Engineer at TOMRA, you will design and build integration solutions using Azure Integration Services, enabling seamless data flow between systems that support resource recovery operations. Your work will be crucial in automating processes and ensuring reliable data exchange, which directly impacts operational efficiency and TOMRA's ability to scale its circular economy solutions. You'll contribute to a reusable integration catalogue, promoting consistency and innovation across the company.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start with a stand-up meeting with your Agile team to discuss progress on current integration projects. You might then design a new Logic App workflow to automate data exchange between a sorting machine and the cloud, or debug an issue in an existing ADF pipeline. In the afternoon, you could collaborate with a vendor to troubleshoot an API integration, and end the day by reviewing CI/CD pipeline results to ensure a smooth deployment.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Tomra Is Looking For
- Proven hands-on experience with Azure Integration Services, specifically Logic Apps, ADF, Service Bus, Event Grid, and API Management, with the ability to discuss real-world implementation scenarios.
- Deep understanding of API design principles (REST, event-driven) and integration patterns like publish-subscribe, request-reply, and batch processing, applied to complex enterprise environments.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) and DevOps practices, including infrastructure as code (ARM templates, Bicep) for automated deployment of integration resources.
- A collaborative team player who thrives in Agile methodologies, with experience working alongside external vendors and cross-functional teams to deliver integrated solutions.
