The Role:
The Associate Integration Architect is responsible for designing and delivering integration solutions. The role
involves understanding business requirements, defining integration workflows, and ensuring successful
implementation. It acts as a bridge between business, customers, and engineering teams to deliver scalable
and efficient solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Engage with customers to understand business use cases, system landscape, and integration requirements
- Conduct functional and technical discovery sessions to identify integration touchpoints and constraints
- Engage in pre-sales discussions to understand customer systems, technical constraints, and integration requirements, and contribute to solution design
- Perform API feasibility analysis to assess compatibility between customer systems and platform capabilities
- Design high-level integration solutions across interfaces such as REST APIs, XML APIs, Kafka, SFTP, SQS, etc.
- Collaborate with product, engineering, and business teams to define scalable and future-ready solutions
- Provide solution approaches, estimations, and technical inputs during requirement discussions
- Define end-to-end integration workflows, including data flow, transformation logic, and orchestration
- Create detailed API and data mappings aligning customer systems with platform APIs (e.g., Anchanto APIs)
- Design parameter-level mappings and transformation rules to ensure accurate data exchange
- Identify and implement appropriate integration patterns (real-time, batch, event-driven)
- Ensure solutions meet scalability, performance, and security standards
- Prepare Solution Design Documents (SDDs) covering architecture, workflows, and mappings
- Conduct grooming sessions with engineering teams to ensure clarity on solution design and implementation
- Act as a bridge between customer stakeholders and internal engineering teams
- Support development, testing, and go-live by resolving integration and design-related challenges
- Validate integration flows and assist in troubleshooting issues
- Analyse existing integrations, recommend improvements, and support enhancements or changes
- Extract and understand integration logic from existing codebases when required
Key Skills & Competencies
- Strong understanding of API-based integrations and system interoperability
- Experience with integration patterns (real-time, asynchronous, event-driven, batch)
- Hands-on experience with REST APIs, API design, and backend technologies (e.g., Java)
- Familiarity with Kafka, SQS, and file-based integrations like SFTP
- Ability to design data mappings, transformations, and integration workflows
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills for complex integration scenarios
- Good understanding of scalability, performance, and security considerations
- Effective communication skills to work with both technical and business stakeholders
- Ability to translate business requirements into practical, scalable solutions
Position (Minimum) Requirements:
- 5–8 years of experience in API integrations, including API design and development
- Bachelor's or master's degree in engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field
- 2–3 years of experience working with supply chain or e-commerce applications such as OMS, WMS, TMS, or planning systems
- Experience integrating with enterprise systems including ERP platforms, e-commerce platforms, 3PL providers, and marketplace channels (e.g., Amazon, Shopify, Flipkart)
- Strong understanding of API-based integrations and system interoperability
- Hands-on experience with REST APIs, API design principles, and backend technologies (e.g., Java)
- Experience with integration patterns such as real-time, asynchronous, event-driven, and batch processing
- Familiarity with messaging systems like Kafka, SQS, and file-based integrations (SFTP)
- Ability to design data mappings, transformations, and end-to-end integration workflows
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills for complex integration scenarios
- Good understanding of scalability, performance, and security considerations
- Ability to translate business requirements into scalable and practical technical solutions
- Effective communication skills to collaborate with both technical and business stakeholders
