Integration Architect

Role Overview
Integrella is seeking an accomplished Integration Architect to design and govern enterprise-grade integration solutions for finance, tax, and accounting technology platforms. This role demands deep expertise across the Azure Integration Services landscape, event-driven architecture, and API-led design, with a focus on delivering high-integrity, auditable financial data flows for global clients.
You will own end-to-end integration architecture decisions, define standards for APIs, events, and data pipelines, and work closely with client stakeholders to connect ERP systems, data platforms, and regulatory reporting solutions into a cohesive, well-governed integration estate.

Key Responsibilities
Define, design, and govern enterprise-wide integration architecture across cloud, on-premises, hybrid, ERP, SaaS, and financial platforms.
Architect scalable, resilient, and secure integration solutions using synchronous (REST/SOAP) and asynchronous (messaging/event-driven) integration patterns.
Design and implement API-led connectivity strategies, reusable integration services, and enterprise integration frameworks.
Design event-driven architectures and streaming data pipelines using Azure Event Hubs, Azure Service Bus, Kafka, or equivalent messaging platforms to support high-volume, mission-critical business processes.
Define enterprise messaging strategies, including Publish/Subscribe, Queue-based messaging, Event Streaming, Request/Reply, and Event Sourcing patterns.
Design and oversee integration pipelines using Azure Data Factory, Logic Apps, Azure Functions, Mule Soft, or equivalent enterprise integration platforms.
Define ETL/ELT design patterns and data movement strategies across Azure Databricks, Data Lakes, Lake houses, ADLS Gen2, and Microsoft Fabric, aligned with Architecture and modern data engineering principles.
Architect integrations with enterprise platforms such as Workday (PECI/DCOD, Core Connectors, RaaS), SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Salesforce, and other business-critical applications.
Establish enterprise standards for message contracts, event schema design, schema registry, metadata management, API governance, and integration versioning.
Produce integration specifications, canonical data models, mapping documents, data validation rules, reconciliation controls, and error-handling frameworks to ensure high-quality and auditable data exchanges.
Design secure integration architectures incorporating OAuth2, OpenID Connect (OIDC), JWT, mTLS, RBAC, encryption, secrets management, and zero-trust security principles.
Lead integration platform governance, including architecture reviews, design assurance, reusable assets, reference architectures, and best practices.
Collaborate with Enterprise Architects, Data Architects, Solution Architects, Product Owners, and business stakeholders to translate business and regulatory requirements into scalable integration solutions.
Drive cloud-native integration strategies leveraging containers (Docker), Kubernetes/Open Shift, serverless computing, and microservices architectures where appropriate.
Champion engineering excellence through CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Bicep), Dev Sec Ops , and deployment automation.
Establish comprehensive monitoring, observability, logging, distributed tracing, alerting, and operational dashboards to ensure platform reliability and proactive issue detection.
Evaluate emerging integration technologies, AI-powered integration platforms, Agentic AI, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and intelligent automation opportunities to continuously evolve the integration landscape.
Provide technical leadership, mentoring, and guidance to integration developers, engineers, and architects while supporting pre-sales, solution estimation, and client workshops.
