Integrations Architect
Job Description
Platform Integrations Architect
Greater Cleveland, OH
Hybrid, 2–3 days on-site
A 40-year-old, profitable B2B software company is in the middle of a serious platform modernization, and integration work sits at the center of it. Our products need to talk to each other and to a growing roster of partner systems, and we are building that connective layer properly — API-first, event-driven, designed to scale rather than bolted on afterward.
This role is for the person who turns an integration strategy into working software. You will not be writing strategy decks. You will design the patterns, build them in .NET on Azure, stand up the iPaaS tooling that makes partner connectivity fast, and own whether all of it holds up in production.
Who you would be joining
We have been building software for the same market since 1985 and lead it. Private-equity backing is funding a real investment in engineering and modernization, so this is the stability of a four-decade company with the budget and urgency of one in growth mode. We have made the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies more than once, and we are a repeat regional top-workplace award winner.
The culture holds up outside our own marketing: 4.0 out of 5 on Glassdoor, 78 percent of employees recommending us to a friend, and work-life balance rated 4.2. People describe a supportive, low-drama place with leadership that looks after the people who perform.
The campus is built for people who are actually in it — on-site gym with free personal training and fitness classes, in-office massages and manicures, house cleaning and laundry service, monthly car washes, catered lunches on Wednesdays, monthly happy hours, a game room, and local sports tickets. Benefits include full medical, dental, and vision, a 401(k) with match, and tuition reimbursement.
What you will own
Design and build
- Build integrations that connect our own products to each other and to outside partner systems, working within an event-driven, API-first set of architecture standards
- Take integration strategy and architectural direction and turn it into technical solutions that scale and stay maintainable
- Build using C# and .NET, REST, Azure cloud services, and current integration patterns
- Configure integrations on iPaaS tooling so partner connectivity moves faster
Integration patterns in scope
- API-based integrations
- Event-driven messaging
- Data synchronization
- Workflow orchestration
API ownership
- Build and maintain APIs through API management tooling
- Hold every API to clear expectations: documented, secure, performant, and managed across its full lifecycle
- Make partner integration realistic through usable tooling and APIs documented well enough to build against
Keep it running
- Apply DevOps practice to integration work — deployment automation, automated testing, CI/CD
- Own observability and monitoring so integration health is visible rather than guessed at
- Diagnose and resolve the complicated failures that cross system boundaries
Work across the org
- Partner with architecture, engineering, and product management so business workflows work end to end
- Help engineering teams put integration best practices into everyday use
- Improve how we build integrations over time — the patterns, the tooling, the development practices around them
- Take on other duties as the work requires
What we are looking for
- 7+ years building modern software systems
- A track record architecting and shipping API-based integration work between systems
- Deep C#/.NET skills and strong REST API development
- Hands-on time with an iPaaS platform — Prismatic, MuleSoft, Boomi, Workato, or comparable
- Experience standing up and running an integration marketplace: standardized APIs and integration frameworks that both internal teams and outside partners build against
- Working knowledge of distributed systems, and of the enterprise patterns integration work depends on
- Cloud build experience on Azure — Functions, Event Grid, Service Bus, API Management
- A solid grasp of current integration patterns and event-driven design
- DevOps practices and CI/CD pipeline experience
- Experience keeping integration pipelines dependable in production, with the operational monitoring to back it
- Strong communicator who works comfortably alongside support, product, and engineering
- Able to take architectural guidance and turn it into something practical and built
Why this one is worth a look
- Architect-level scope with your hands on the keyboard — you design the pattern and you build it
- Integrations are a funded priority with executive attention, not a side project someone picks up between sprints
- Real breadth: internal product-to-product work and external partner connectivity across .NET, Azure, and iPaaS
- A modernization mandate with money behind it, at a company that is profitable rather than burning runway
- Direct working relationships with product and architecture leadership, not three layers down
If you have spent the last few years making systems talk to each other and you want the scope to decide how it gets done, we should talk.
