 * Working knowledge of iPaaS, event-driven architecture and bi-directional sync.
 * A track record of leading through influence and setting technical standards in a complex enterprise.

Nice to have

## Description

You will own integration architecture across C&W's data and application estate as the firm's go-to authority. You will set the standards, design and build the hardest integrations yourself, and raise the capability of delivery teams around you.

What you'll do

 * Define and govern our integration patterns (API, point-to-point, hub-and-spoke, ESB, iPaaS, event-driven, bi-directional sync) and guide teams on when to use each.
 * Design end-to-end integrations across custom, SaaS and PaaS systems, covering data contracts, error handling, observability, security and scale.
 * Build the most complex, highest-risk integrations hands-on and prove them production-ready.
 * Create reference architectures and reusable components so teams build faster and more consistently.
 * Lead architecture on strategic programmes, owning design, sequencing and trade-offs.
 * Coach engineers through design and code reviews.
 * Steer the move from legacy point-to-point and ESB estates to modern patterns, with clear cutover and rollback plans.
 * Surface security, reliability and data integrity risks and drive them to resolution through governance forums.
 * Advise engineering, data, AI, product and business stakeholders, and work closely with Data Engineering, Security, Infrastructure and Architecture.
