POSITION INFO:

Job Purpose:

The Integration Analyst finalizes the service model for a SOAP or REST service by editing technical interface artefacts such as WSDLs, XSDs, JSON Schemas and Swaggers. Thesuccessful incumbent must be experienced in understanding an outline functional design of a service to meet its information requirements, such as physical, field-level input and output data requirements. Applies fundamental concepts, goals and requirements associated with SOA and service-orientation to conceptualize and define service contracts and service governance impacts

Key Skills (Technologies, systems or software knowledge etc.):

1. Coding background in either Java or .NET with an understanding of the intricacies of primitive and complex variable types, such as date and time formats
2. Experience in reading and editing XML Schema Definition (XSD) and JSON Schema files
