Full Job Description
You'll set the integration architecture that connects every system in the enterprise - the standards, platforms, and patterns that determine how data and events flow between hundreds of applications across cloud and on-prem. This role defines the blueprint that engineering teams build to and owns the long-term health of the integration estate.
Required skills
  • 12+ years in enterprise architecture, integration architecture, or solutions architecture, including 5+ years owning an integration strategy for a complex multi-cloud or hybrid environment.
  • Hands-on architectural ownership of Dell Boomi - process design, Atom and Molecule deployment topology, environment promotion, and the governance model that keeps a shared tenant healthy. Deep experience with Informatica across the relevant stack.
  • Design and govern the broader integration platform: API management and event streaming (Kafka, Confluent, or Pub/Sub), including contracts, versioning, and deprecation policy.
  • Lead architecture for data integration across ETL/ELT pipelines, change data capture (CDC), and real-time streaming - and decide when each pattern is the right answer.
  • Command of identity federation and service-to-service authentication across SaaS and internal systems and workload identity in hybrid cloud.
  • Partner with platform, security, and application teams to land integration standards in writing - reference architectures, paved roads, and the exception process for when teams need to deviate.
Preferred skills
  • Lead integration strategy and execution for M&A activity, including system integration, data migration, and application rationalization.
  • Boomi or Informatica certifications (Boomi Professional Developer, Informatica Cloud Data Integration Specialist, or equivalent).
  • Experience standing up an Integration Center of Excellence (CoE), including the reusable patterns, scaffolding, and developer experience that make it adoptable.
  • Working knowledge of master data management (MDM) - ideally Informatica MDM - and event-driven architecture at enterprise scale.
  • Hands-on background as an integration developer earlier in your career - you've written the code, not just drawn the boxes.
