Job description

Do you design applications that are not just functional, but also resilient, scalable, and secure? Do you understand how your applications interact with underlying infrastructure — from API gateways to firewalls and proxies?

We’re looking for an Application Integration Architect with a strong grasp of modern integration patterns and a solid understanding of infrastructure. You’ll work closely with development, DevOps, and infrastructure teams to build applications that perform in complex, distributed environments.

What You’ll Be Doing

As an Application Integration Architect, you will:

• Lead the design of integration strategies for distributed applications.
• Ensure that applications operate securely, reliably, and efficiently.
• Collaborate across teams to align architecture with performance and security requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Application & Infrastructure Integration
• Collaborate with app teams to define integration and performance needs.
• Design solutions using load balancers, proxies, API gateways, and hybrid connectivity.
• Load Balancing & Traffic Management
• Architect solutions using NGINX, Akamai, or Cloudflare.
• Configure reverse proxies and caching to enhance performance
• Security & Compliance
• Work with security stakeholders to align infrastructure and application-level policies.
• Implement API security, WAFs, and other best practices
• Hybrid & Cloud Integration (Nice to have)
• Support hybrid connectivity (AWS & Azure).
• Optimize API gateways (YARP, NGINX) for microservices.
• Secure access using VPNs and private endpoints.
• Monitoring & Performance Optimization
• Use tools like Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, and ELK for observability.
• Diagnose issues like latency, dropped packets, or API slowness.
• Automate monitoring to maintain system health and performance.

Who You Are

• You’re an experienced application architect with strong infrastructure awareness.
• You understand how integration design impacts security, performance, and reliability.
• You enjoy working across teams to bring robust solutions to life.
• You’re fluent in tools and technologies that support high-performance, scalable systems.

Nice to Have

• Experience with hybrid cloud architectures.
• Familiarity with YARP or similar API gateway technologies.
• Exposure to zero-trust networking models.
