Associate Integration Architect

The Role: The Associate Integration Architect is responsible for designing and delivering integration solutions. The role involves understanding business requirements, defining integration workflows, and ensuring successful implementation. It acts as a bridge between business, customers, and engineering teams to deliver scalable and efficient solutions. Key Responsibilities Engage with customers to understand business use cases, system landscape, and integration requirements Conduct functional and technical discovery sessions to identify integration touchpoints and constraints Engage in pre-sales discussions to understand customer systems, technical constraints, and integration requirements, and contribute to solution design Perform API feasibility analysis to assess compatibility between customer systems and platform capabilities Design high-level integration solutions across interfaces such as REST APIs, XML APIs, Kafka, SFTP, SQS, etc. Collaborate with product, engineering, and business teams to define scalable and future-ready solutions Provide solution approaches, estimations, and technical inputs during requirement discussions Define end-to-end integration workflows, including data flow, transformation logic, and orchestration Create detailed API and data mappings aligning customer systems with platform APIs (e.g., Anchanto APIs) Design parameter-level mappings and transformation rules to ensure accurate data exchange Identify and implement appropriate integration patterns (real-time, batch, event-driven) Ensure solutions meet scalability, performance, and security standards Prepare Solution Design Documents (SDDs) covering architecture, workflows, and mappings Conduct grooming sessions with engineering teams to ensure clarity on solution design and implementation Act as a bridge between customer stakeholders and internal engineering teams Support development, testing, and go-live by resolving integration and design-related challenges Validate integration flows and assist in troubleshooting issues Analyse existing integrations, recommend improvements, and support enhancements or changes Extract and understand integration logic from existing codebases when required Key Skills & Competencies Strong understanding of API-based integrations and system interoperability Experience with integration patterns (real-time, asynchronous, event-driven, batch) Hands-on experience with REST APIs, API design, and backend technologies (e.g., Java) Familiarity with Kafka, SQS, and file-based integrations like SFTP Ability to design data mappings, transformations, and integration workflows Strong problem-solving and analytical skills for complex integration scenarios Good understanding of scalability, performance, and security considerations Effective communication skills to work with both technical and business stakeholders Ability to translate business requirements into practical, scalable solutions Position (Minimum) Requirements: 5–8 years of experience in API integrations, including API design and development Bachelor's or master's degree in engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field 2–3 years of experience working with supply chain or e-commerce applications such as OMS, WMS, TMS, or planning systems Experience integrating with enterprise systems including ERP platforms, e-commerce platforms, 3PL providers, and marketplace channels (e.g., Amazon, Shopify, Flipkart) Strong understanding of API-based integrations and system interoperability Hands-on experience with REST APIs, API design principles, and backend technologies (e.g., Java) Experience with integration patterns such as real-time, asynchronous, event-driven, and batch processing Familiarity with messaging systems like Kafka, SQS, and file-based integrations (SFTP) Ability to design data mappings, transformations, and end-to-end integration workflows Strong analytical and problem-solving skills for complex integration scenarios Good understanding of scalabilit…
