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 scalability, performance, and security considerations

• Ability to translate business requirements into scalable and practical technical solutions

• Effective communication skills to collaborate with both technical and business stakeholders
