Integration Architect

Role Overview

Integrella is seeking an accomplished Integration Architect todesign and govern enterprise-grade integration solutions for finance, tax, andaccounting technology platforms. This role demands deep expertise across theAzure Integration Services landscape, event-driven architecture, and API-leddesign, with a focus on delivering high-integrity, auditable financial dataflows for global clients.

You will own end-to-end integration architecture decisions, definestandards for APIs, events, and data pipelines, and work closely with clientstakeholders to connect ERP systems, data platforms, and regulatory reportingsolutions into a cohesive, well-governed integration estate.
