Senior Integration Architect

Nordic Investin has been engaged by a partner company to find a Senior Integration Architect. You see integration architecture as the design of dependable business relationships between systems, teams and data owners.

The partner is modernising a fragmented integration estate spanning cloud services, SaaS platforms and established enterprise systems. You will define target patterns and guide migrations toward clearer APIs and event flows.

The work spans organisational boundaries and requires both technical understanding and disciplined communication. Decisions must remain useful when they reach delivery teams, suppliers and operational owners.

How you will work

You will work across teams with different incentives, technical histories and decision rights. The partner expects concise preparation, visible dependencies and follow through after meetings. Strong performance means that people understand what was decided, why it matters and what they now own.

As a senior colleague, you will own substantial outcomes and help others make stronger decisions. You are expected to recognise risk early, communicate it without drama and move work forward with practical alternatives. The role still includes hands on delivery; seniority here means broader judgement, not distance from the work.

What you will do

• Define API, event and batch integration architecture.

• Establish contract, versioning and ownership principles.

• Guide platform choices and reusable integration services.

• Review critical designs for security and failure handling.

• Plan migration from legacy middleware and point to point connections.

• Support delivery teams with patterns and technical decisions.

What you will bring

• Senior integration engineering or architecture experience.

• Strong API, messaging and distributed systems knowledge.

• Experience with cloud integration platforms.

• Understanding of identity, data governance and observability.

• Ability to create incremental migration paths.

• Clear communication across business and technical domains.

Experience that would add value

• Kafka or enterprise event streaming.

• Azure Integration Services, MuleSoft or Boomi.

• SAP, Salesforce or supply chain integration.

A background that can succeed here

You may have built integrations in code, led middleware platforms or designed service architectures. The partner values architects who can discuss a failed message at implementation level and the organisational ownership behind it.

What makes the opportunity interesting

You will shape standards that simplify change across many systems. The role combines strategic influence with close delivery contact and a modernisation agenda that has visible operational benefits.

The exact partner, employment model, compensation, start date and working arrangement will be explained openly during the process. Nordic Investin will make sure you understand the context, expectations and decision path before you are asked to commit significant time.

The recruitment conversation

During the process, Nordic Investin will focus on concrete decisions you have made: the context you received, the alternatives you considered, the result you observed and what you would change today. You do not need every optional technology if your core experience transfers and you can explain how you would close the gap.

How to apply

Apply with your CV or LinkedIn profile and a short note describing the most relevant system, product or transformation you have helped deliver. Nordic Investin welcomes candidates with different routes into technology and assesses applicants on relevant capability, judgement and potential.
