We are seeking an experienced Azure Integration Solutions Architect to design, build, and govern enterprise‑grade integration solutions on the Microsoft Azure platform. This role owns the end‑to‑end architecture for connecting applications, data stores, and external services—translating business requirements into secure, scalable, and observable integration designs and driving them through to production implementation.

The ideal candidate is a hands‑on architect with deep .NET engineering roots, mastery of Azure’s integration and messaging stack, fluency in standard integration design patterns, and a demonstrated history of successfully delivering complex projects. We are looking for a critical thinker who can weigh trade‑offs, anticipate failure modes, and make sound architectural decisions in fast‑moving environments.

• Lead the design and implementation of integration solutions using Azure services, spanning messaging, eventing, API management, and orchestration.
• Architect and apply standard integration design patterns (e.g., publish/subscribe, request/reply, content‑based routing, message transformation, claim‑check, saga/process manager, retry and dead‑letter handling, circuit breaker) to real‑world business problems.
• Champion sound design principles—abstraction, extensibility, and adaptive design—so that solutions remain loosely coupled, easy to extend, and resilient to changing requirements.
• Design and implement containerized workloads using Azure Container Apps, App Service, and Azure Functions, including container packaging, scaling, and lifecycle management.
• Model and integrate relational, No
  
  SQL, and caching data stores, selecting the right persistence approach for each workload.
• Evaluate business needs and translate them into technical requirements and architectural blueprints.
• Ensure systems are scalable, secure, and aligned with industry best practices and compliance standards.
• Lead the integration of new technologies, APIs, and third‑party services into existing infrastructure.
• Provide technical guidance to development teams and oversee the implementation of architectural designs.
• Conduct system performance analysis, risk assessments, and optimization strategies.
• Collaborate with stakeholders, including executives, engineers, and business units, to align IT strategy with organizational goals.
• Stay updated on emerging technologies and recommend innovations to improve efficiency and competitiveness.
• Document architecture standards, policies, and procedures for reference and compliance.
• Design and implement scalable, high‑performance integration solutions using modern patterns (e.g., microservices, event‑driven architecture, pub/sub, SOA).
• Design and optimize data pipelines for batch and real‑time processing.
• Establish governance frameworks for integration standards, monitoring, logging, and error handling.
• Collaborate with Dev Ops teams to automate CI/CD pipelines for integration deployments.
• Act as a liaison between business stakeholders and technical teams to translate requirements into scalable cloud solutions.
• Mentor and guide technical teams on cloud best practices and architectural patterns.
• Other duties may be assigned; responsibilities may change.
