Responsibilities
As a Senior Integration Architect (Data & APIs) at Empower, you will be both a strategic leader and hands-on technical expert responsible for designing and evolving enterprise integration architecture. Partnering with enterprise architects, application teams, and business leaders, you will define API-first and event-driven architectures that enable real-time, reliable, and scalable system communication.You will drive standardized integration patterns such as RESTful / gRPC APIs, asynchronous messaging, and data contracts to ensure consistency, security, and resilience across the enterprise, while leading modernization efforts to reduce point-to-point integrations and enable loosely coupled systems across legacy and modern platforms. You will influence key architectural decisions, mentor engineering teams, and establish best practices for API lifecycle management, event-driven design, and distributed system reliability.ResponsibilitiesDesign and implement API-first and event-driven architectures that enable scalable, real-time system communicationArchitect integration patterns including REST/ gRPC APIs, asynchronous messaging, and event-driven workflows across distributed systemsDefine and enforce data contracts, schemas, and interface standards to ensure consistent, reliable data exchange across domainsDesign for resilience in distributed systems, including preventing duplicate processing, managing retries and replays, and ensuring fault toleranceLead modernization of legacy integrations by reducing point-to-point dependencies and enabling loosely coupled architecturesEstablish best practices for API lifecycle management including versioning, documentation, security, and governanceProvide architectural leadership through design reviews, mentoring, and cross-team collaboration to ensure consistent adoption of integration patternsRequired SkillsExperience designing and implementing scalable integration solutions across distributed systemsStrong understanding of API-based system design and modern integration approaches (e.g., synchronous and asynchronous patterns)Familiarity with event-driven architectures and messaging concepts in real-world applicationsExperience defining and managing interfaces or data exchange patterns across systemsUnderstanding of reliability considerations in distributed systems (e.g., handling failures, retries, or duplicate processing)Experience working across a mix of legacy and modern systems in complex enterprise environmentsProficiency in backend or service-based development using languages such as Java, Python, or similarNice to Have QualificationsExperience with API management platforms or gateways (e.g., Apigee, Kong, AWS API Gateway, Azure API Management)Hands-on experience with messaging or streaming platforms (e.g., Kafka, Kinesis, Pub/Sub)Familiarity with domain-driven design concepts (e.g., bounded contexts, service boundaries)Experience designing or working with contract-first APIs or schema-driven development approachesExposure to cloud-native architectures and distributed system patterns in AWS, Azure, or GCPExperience participating in architecture governance processes (e.g., design reviews, reference architectures, ADRs)Certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Associate or Professional)EducationBachelor’s and/or master’s degree in computer science or related field (information systems, mathematics, software engineering, etc.)Physical Requirements/Working ConditionsNormal Office Working Conditions
