at Tomra
🏢 About Tomra
Tomra is a global leader in advanced resource recovery systems, driving the circular economy by optimizing how we sort and recycle materials. Working here means contributing to a mission that directly reduces waste and environmental impact, with a culture that values innovation and sustainability.
About This Role
As an Integrations Engineer, you will design and build the technical backbone that connects Tomra's systems using Azure Integration Services. Your work ensures seamless data flow and automation across internal teams and external partners, directly enabling efficient resource recovery operations.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start with a stand-up to align with the team on integration priorities, then diving into designing a new Logic App workflow for a partner API. You'd also review monitoring dashboards to ensure existing integrations are healthy, and collaborate with an architect to finalize an event-driven pattern for a waste sorting machine data stream.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Tomra Is Looking For
- Hands-on experience with Azure Integration Services (Logic Apps, ADF, Service Bus, Event Grid, API Management) and can discuss trade-offs between them.
- Strong understanding of API design (RESTful), event-driven architecture, and batch integration patterns, with examples from past projects.
- Familiar with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices, especially in an Azure context (e.g., Azure DevOps, ARM/Bicep templates).
- Collaborative communicator who can work with architects, internal teams, and external vendors to align integration solutions with enterprise standards.
📝 Tips for Applying to Tomra
Tailor your resume to highlight specific Azure Integration Services you've used, including any custom connectors or complex orchestration.
In your cover letter, mention a specific integration challenge you solved and how it improved reliability or efficiency.
If possible, provide a link to a GitHub repo or portfolio showcasing integration projects (e.g., Logic Apps ARM templates or ADF pipelines).
Research Tomra's sustainability impact and mention how your integration work supports their circular economy mission.
Avoid generic phrases; instead, use keywords from the job description like 'event-driven', 'batch integration', and 'reusable components'.
✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
["Your experience with Azure Integration Services and how it aligns with Tomra's need for scalable, maintainable integrations.", 'A specific example of designing an API-based or event-driven solution that improved system reliability or reduced manual effort.', 'Your collaborative approach to working with architects and vendors to ensure integration standards are met.', 'Your enthusiasm for contributing to a circular economy and how your technical skills support resource recovery.']
