In this role, you will be responsible for defining and delivering end-to-end integration architectures that enable seamless connectivity between business applications, data platforms, and external partners. You will leverage your strong technical experience in Middleware platforms alongside proven knowledge of file-based integration solutions and design patterns, to deliver efficient and resilient integration capabilities. You will establish and promote best practices across a range of integration approaches, including API-led architectures, event-driven patterns, and batch/file-based processing, ensuring solutions are reusable, maintainable, and aligned to enterprise standards. Working closely with business stakeholders, application teams, and delivery partners, you will translate complex business requirements into well-architected integration solutions that meet functional and non-functional requirements, including performance, security, scalability, and operational supportability. This role also plays a key part in shaping integration strategy, defining reusable patterns and standards, and guiding delivery teams to ensure consistent, high-quality implementation across the integration landscape. What will you deliver? * Work with teams across Applications, Integration, Data and Infrastructure. * Architecture designs must be aligned to EQUANS UK and EQUANS Group technical strategy, principles, and standards. * Work closely with members of the Architecture practice including Business Architecture & Business Analysis and other domain Solution Architects to align on architecture approach and solution options. * Participate in different Architecture and Governance Forums to ensure reviews are carried out for all architecture and design activities. * Being accountable for the delivery of high-quality architecture artefacts which clearly explain the technical strategy and rationale. * Lead and facilitate requirements gathering and solution workshops with stakeholders from functional/technical subject matter experts as part of the Discovery, Assessment & Design and Planning phases. * Communicate progress of issues, risks and findings from your work in appropriate documents and tailor the level of detail depending on audience. ## Related Videos - [Why make use of an integration platform in today's software developments and infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/758-why-make-use-of-an-integration-platform-in-today-s-software-developments-and-infrastructure) - [Tips and Tricks for Working with JSON](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1229-tips-and-tricks-for-working-with-json) - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Next Level Enterprise Architecture: Modular, Flexible, Scalable, Multichannel and AI-Ready?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1017-next-level-enterprise-architecture-modular-flexible-scalable-multichannel-and-ai-ready) - [Introducing JSON Structure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100219-introducing-json-structure) ## Related Articles - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries)
