Integration Solution Architect

Overview

Key Responsibilities

• Define and evolve the enterprise integration strategy, aligning with business objectives, data governance, and cloud platform roadmaps.
• Design and maintain reference architectures and reusable patterns covering:
• API-led and service-oriented architectures (SOA)
• Event-driven and streaming architectures (Kafka, Event Grid, Event Mesh)
• Data-driven integration (CDC, streaming ingestion, analytics pipelines)
• Workflow and low-code integration (OIC Process Automation, Logic Apps, Power Automate).
• Own and govern the integration catalogue within the EA repository, ensuring APIs, events, and message contracts are version-controlled, documented, and reusable.
• Champion the transition to future integration paradigms, including federated API mesh, metadata-driven orchestration, and AI-assisted integration tooling.
• Provide technical leadership for integration platforms, including Azure Integration Services (Logic Apps, Service Bus, Event Grid, API Management) and Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC).
• Embed observability and resilience into all integrations, defining standards for logging, tracing, correlation IDs, retries, and automated error handling.
• Collaborate with Cloud, Data, and Security Architects to ensure integrated solutions are performant, governed, and compliant.
• Support project delivery by reviewing designs, guiding implementation, and ensuring adherence to integration standards and platform best practices.
• Establish and monitor integration KPIs (throughput, latency, reuse rates, error ratios, recovery MTTR) to drive continuous improvement.
• Promote automation and DevOps practices for integration build and deployment, embedding CI/CD pipelines, API contract testing, and policy-as-code governance.
• Contribute to solution and technology governance boards (SRB/TDA) to assure consistency of design and technology alignment across initiatives.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related discipline.
• 8–10 years’ experience in integration architecture and design across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
• Proven experience implementing API-led, event-driven, and data-driven integration architectures.
• Strong expertise with integration platforms such as:
• Azure Integration Services (Logic Apps, Service Bus, Event Grid, API Management)
• Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) or Oracle Service Bus
• Other iPaaS solutions (MuleSoft, Boomi, Kafka, Confluent, WSO2).
• Practical experience with API management, schema design, versioning, and contract testing.
• Familiarity with streaming and real-time data technologies (Kafka, Azure Event Hubs, Flink, Spark Streaming).
• Knowledge of data integration pipelines (ADF, Synapse Pipelines, Informatica, Talend) and CDC methods.
• Understanding of security integration, including OAuth2, JWT, mTLS, and gateway policy enforcement.
• Experience implementing CI/CD automation and infrastructure-as-code for integration deployments.
• Working knowledge of observability stacks (App Insights, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) for integration health and traceability.
• Proficiency with Enterprise Architecture repositories and modelling tools (Orbus Infinity, LeanIX, Sparx EA) and standards such as ArchiMate, UML, BPMN.
• Familiarity with governance and compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR) and their implications for data movement and API design.
• Desirable: Experience integrating Oracle Fusion, EPM, Primavera, Unifier, and .NET/APEX platforms.
