We want to be upfront about what this role is — and what it is not.
This is not a solution architect role with integration as one of many responsibilities. This is a pure integration architecture seat inside a large, complex organisation that needs someone whose entire professional identity is enterprise integration. If that is you, read on.
The Opportunity
We are working exclusively with a well-established, large-scale retail and distribution business to appoint a Senior Integration Architect into their growing architecture function. This business runs a significant technology ecosystem — ERP, CRM, eCommerce, supply chain, data platforms — and needs someone who can own, govern, and evolve the integration layer that connects it all. On Azure. At scale. Across cloud and hybrid environments.
This is a hands‐on technical leadership role. You will define integration standards, produce HLD/LLD specifications, shape event-driven architecture, govern API design across the organisation, and guide engineering teams through real delivery — not sit at a governance desk removed from execution.
What Pure Integration Architecture Looks Like in This Role
This role is not for someone who has touched integration as part of a broader solution architecture career. The hiring manager is specifically looking for someone for whom integration is the primary specialism — someone who has spent the majority of their career owning the integration layer of complex enterprise environments.
In practice that means:
You have defined and owned enterprise integration strategy, not contributed to it




You write the integration specs and HLD/LLD artefacts — you do not review what others have written
You have governed API standards across an organisation, not just designed APIs within a project
You have set integration patterns and ensured engineering teams follow them
Azure Integration Services is your primary delivery platform, not one of several tools you have used
What We Are Looking For
Deep, hands‐on experience with Microsoft Azure Integration Services — Logic Apps, APIM, Service Bus, Event Grid, Azure Functions, ADF — as your core delivery platform
A career history in enterprise integration architecture, not solution architecture with integration experience
Robust API design and governance ownership — REST, OAuth2, OpenID Connect, API lifecycle management
Event-driven and microservices architecture you have defined and governed end-to-end
IaC experience — Terraform or Bicep — in real delivery contexts
The ability to produce detailed technical specifications that engineering teams can build from
Highly Regarded
Experience in retail, distribution, or supply chain environments
Azure certifications — Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Integration Services
Experience migrating legacy integration platforms to cloud-native Azure patterns
Exposure to AKS and containerised integration workloads
Culture and Fit
This team values people who get things done. They are building a genuine integration capability for the long term and need an architect who wants to own that journey — not pass through it. Collaboration, pragmatism, and technical craft matter here.
