In this client-facing role you will own and drive our integration strategies and architecture. You will collaborate closely with stakeholders across engineering, product, and client teams to ensure robust, scalable, and future-proof integration solutions. You will also serve as a key technical advisor, guiding teams on best practices for microservices design, event-driven systems, security, data integration, and cloud-native architectures while continually exploring and applying generative AI solutions to enhance our integration platforms.

In this role you can expect to work on the below:

  • Develop and maintain integration architectures across hybrid, on-premise, and multi-cloud environments. You will drive microservices and event-driven architecture design patterns, container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker), and cloud-native best practices.
  • Serve as the in-house expert for leading iPaaS solutions (Boomi, SnapLogic, Workato, Azure Integration Services), guiding the design and implementation of integration flows.
  • As appropriate, evaluate and integrate generative AI capabilities (e.g., large language models advanced NLP toolkits) into our integration stack. You will stay current with AI/ML trends (e.g., transformer architectures, Hugging Face, Vertex AI on GCP, Azure Cognitive Services, AWS Sagemaker) and identify opportunities to incorporate new technology for improved efficiency and innovation.
  • You will work closely with clients as the technical SME, gathering requirements and translating them into high-level integration blueprints.
  • Lead teams of developers and engineers to implement proposed architectures, ensuring best practices around CI/CD, test-driven development, and security are upheld.
  • Mentor junior to mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
  • Stay abreast of emerging integration patterns, generative AI frameworks, and new iPaaS features. This will be done by actively pursuing industry certifications and training to expand skill sets (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Boomi Certified Professional).You will be an advocate for innovation and process improvements based on evolving client and marketplace needs.

To be successful in this role, you will demonstrate the below experience:

  • Microservices Architecture: Deep, hands-on background in designing, building, and deploying microservices (ideally with Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, or Python).
  • Expertise designing and implementing event-driven systems using tools like Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, Amazon EventBridge, Azure Event Grid, or Google Pub/Sub.
  • Cloud Hyperscalers: Practical experience with AWS, Azure, and GCP.
  • Leading iPaaS Tools: Proficiency in Boomi, SnapLogic, Workato, or Azure Integration Services.
  • Hands-on implementation of API Gateways (Kong, Apigee, AWS API Gateway) and ESB solutions.
  • Familiarity with generative AI approaches like LLM-based chatbots or transformer-based AI solutions. You will have an understanding ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch) and how they can be utilised in data pipelines.
  • Exceptional ability to communicate technical concepts to C-level executives, technical staff, and non-technical stakeholders. You will have strong presentation skills to facilitate architecture vision, solution workshops, and strategy sessions.
