Integration & API Architect

🔗 We’re Hiring: Integration & API Architect

📍 Doha, Qatar

We’re looking for a skilled Integration & API Architect to lead the design and governance of modern integration frameworks across a large-scale, multi-vendor digital ecosystem. If you’re passionate about API-first design, event-driven architecture, and building seamless interoperability—this role is for you.

🔍 What You’ll Do

You will define and standardize integration patterns that enable scalable, secure, and reusable connectivity across platforms and services:

• Establish integration reference architecture covering APIs, events, and messaging patterns
• Define and enforce API governance (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, versioning, lifecycle management)
• Design secure API access models (OIDC, mTLS, token scopes, rate limiting, quotas)
• Drive event-driven architecture standards (topics, schemas, retries, DLQs, idempotency)
• Define data contract practices (schema validation, contract testing, CI integration)
• Implement resiliency patterns (timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, caching)
• Govern API gateways and integration runtimes, enabling API productization
• Lead onboarding of vendors and solutions into integration frameworks
• Provide architecture assurance through design reviews and implementation validation
• Support operational excellence with monitoring, SLAs/SLOs, and continuous improvement

🧠 What You Bring

• 8+ years of experience in integration architecture or enterprise engineering
• Deep expertise in API design (REST, async, streaming) and distributed systems
• Strong knowledge of event-driven and messaging architectures
• Experience implementing API governance and integration standards at scale
• Solid understanding of API security and data protection in regulated environments
• Proven ability to work across multiple vendors and stakeholders
