 * Strong DBMS background: SQL Server, Postgres, Oracle, etc
 * Strong experience with Azure services, including:

 * Azure Container Apps or AKS
 * Storage / ADLS
 * Key Vault and ACR
 * Monitoring (Application Insights, Log Analytics)
 * Networking (private endpoints, DNS, hybrid connectivity)

Experience defining integration patterns and data models across systems

Ability to create clear, implementation-ready architecture and design documentation, * Databricks

 * Snowflake
 * Experience working with enterprise governance processes (architecture reviews, permits)
 * Development background preferred (java/python or similar)

## Description

* Unfortunately, I can''t get remote approval from the client. Candidates will need to be comfortable going onsite 3x per week in Chicago

 * will consider candidates relocating, but priority/preference is going to be candidates living in Illinois

Interview Process: 15 minute screening with the manager, 2nd round with some of the technical leads that they will partner with, * We are hiring a senior engineer/architect to design and deliver integration patterns for the FX platform across Azure and on?prem environments.

 * This role is responsible for both defining how systems should work together and making sure those designs are actually implemented. The work includes designing event-driven integrations, defining data and event models, and guiding delivery across multiple teams., * Define platform-level approaches for:

 * Canonical event and data models
 * Integration contracts between systems
 * Data modeling approaches (including event-based and relational patterns, and data vault where it makes sense)

Design Azure-based services for ingestion, processing, and downstream integration (i.e. Azure Container Apps, AKS, etc)

Own hybrid integration architecture, including networking, security, and deployment patterns between Azure and on?prem systems

Design event-driven integration patterns using on prem or cloud based messaging tools depending on the use case

Produce architecture documentation (SDDs, connectivity, security, DR, and observability) that can move through governance reviews without rework

Work with multiple teams to align on integration patterns and resolve gaps that affect delivery

Contribute hands-on where needed (building services, troubleshooting, validating integrations)
