- Translate high-level requirements into actionable technical work
- Ensure solutions align with enterprise architecture and security policies
- Design and implement enterprise integration architectures
- Support API-led architecture and API Management solutions
- Establish scalable and robust GraphQL integration patterns
- Work with observability solutions such as OpenTelemetry and Splunk
- Guide and mentor engineering teams on GraphQL architecture and implementation
What You Bring
- 10+ years of experience in integration, software architecture or a similar technical field
