Data & System Integration Architect

The Data & System Integration Architect owns two closely related architecture domains for HOYA: enterprise data architecture and system integration. On the data side, the role sets the target architecture, standards and reference patterns for Lakehouse, warehouse, master data and data products. On the integration side, it governs how data platforms, business applications, SaaS solutions, APIs, events and file-based exchanges connect securely and reliably across divisions and corporate functions.

The role guides integration choices across SAP, Salesforce, Dynamics 365, Service Now and other enterprise platforms. It ensures designs meet requirements for security, identity, resilience, observability, scalability, performance and lifecycle management. The architect provides architecture assurance for strategic initiatives, reduces point-to-point complexity through reusable APIs and event-driven patterns, and partners with Group Data & AI, security, enterprise architecture and division technology teams to build and govern the common data and integration layer that divisions share, which also supports AI and agent-enabled solutions.

• Collaborate with Enterprise Architecture to develop and maintain HOYA's data architecture strategy, target state, principles, standards and roadmap, aligned with enterprise architecture, business, analytics, AI and governance priorities.
• Define reference architectures and reusable patterns for Lakehouse, warehouse, operational data stores, data products, metadata, lineage, master data and secure data sharing.
• Set enterprise data-modelling standards covering conceptual, logical and physical models, canonical data structures, domain boundaries and common business definitions.
• Guide data platform and storage decisions across Microsoft Fabric, Azure data services and enterprise applications, balancing interoperability, governance, performance, resilience and cost.
• Work with data-governance and security teams to ensure data architectures embed quality, ownership, classification, retention, privacy, access control, lineage and lifecycle requirements.
• Collaborate with Enterprise Architecture to develop and maintain the system-integration strategy, target architecture, principles, standards and roadmap, aligned with HOYA business and technology priorities.
• Assess current-state integrations, platforms, interfaces and technical debt. Define transition architectures and a prioritized modernization plan.
• Design and publish reference architectures and reusable patterns for APIs, events, messaging, workflows, data movement, managed file transfer, SaaS integration and hybrid connectivity.
• Lead the architecture of complex integrations spanning Azure, SAP, Salesforce, Dynamics 365, Service Now, data platforms, legacy systems and external partners.
• Select and govern the right Integration Services for each need, including API Management, Logic Apps, Functions, Service Bus, and complementary services, weighing capability, cost, resilience and supportability.
• Define non-functional requirements and architecture controls for availability, disaster recovery, scalability, latency, observability, data integrity, privacy and regulatory compliance.
• Build Zero Trust principles into integration designs, including managed identities, least privilege, secrets and certificate management, network segmentation, encryption and auditability.
• Run architecture reviews, document decisions and exceptions, and identify risks. Make sure remediation is complete before production approval.
• Support vendor evaluation, build-versus-buy decisions, capacity planning and cost optimization.
• Ensure AI and agent integrations use controlled identities, approved APIs and tools, least-privilege access,…
