** Position Summary
** This position is responsible for designing and leading the implementation of enterprise integration solutions that connect internal applications and data platforms with external partners. This role develops end-to-end application-to-application (A2A) and business-to-business (B2B) integration architectures that align with enterprise architecture standards and security requirements.

The Integration Solution Architect defines and maintains the integration architecture and associated roadmaps to ensure solutions are scalable, secure, resilient, and consistent across diverse systems. Working closely with business stakeholders, Enterprise Architects, and delivery teams, this role translates requirements into clear technical designs (interfaces, data flows, patterns, and standards) and provides architectural guidance through complex integration initiatives.
** Key Responsibilities
*** Design and implement integration solutions connecting internal systems and external partners, covering both A2A and B2B scenarios, and ensuring adherence to enterprise architecture principles and security standards.
* Define and maintain the integration architecture roadmap and manage the technology lifecycle for integration platforms; establish standards and guidelines, and produce well-documented technical designs (system components, interfaces, and data flows) for delivery teams.
* Collaborate with business stakeholders, Enterprise Architects, and Solution Architects to gather integration requirements and ensure solutions meet business objectives while aligning with enterprise standards; communicate integration concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
* Lead integration projects and innovation efforts, including feasibility studies and proof-of-concepts; evaluate and recommend integration patterns and middleware (e.g., messaging, API-led integration, event streaming) and conduct blueprint/design reviews and risk assessments.
* Oversee delivery and quality across the integration lifecycle (design, development, testing, deployment); ensure compliance with architectural standards and best practices, and troubleshoot complex integration issues to maintain stability and performance.
* Coordinate with peer solution and domain architects on cross-functional integration points and dependencies to ensure cohesive end-to-end solution design across projects and platforms.
* Provide technical leadership and mentorship to integration development teams (including offshore partners), set technical direction, review work for quality, and promote knowledge sharing and continuous improvement in integration practices.
* Serve as the go-to integration architecture expert during delivery, ensuring solutions are flexible, scalable, secure, and aligned with Enterprise Architecture Standards.
