• Identify and design required APIs, interfaces, connectors, integration points, and system dependencies.
• Define appropriate integration patterns for API-based, synchronous, asynchronous, event-driven, and system-to-system integrations.
• Design end-to-end data flows, data mapping, transformation, validation, and orchestration requirements.
• Define integration security requirements including authentication, authorization, API security, logging, error handling, monitoring, and retry mechanisms.
• Develop and maintain solution architecture diagrams, integration architecture, interface specifications, data flows, and technical design documentation.
• Coordinate technical requirements and integration dependencies across internal IT teams, Cyber Security, vendors, and external service providers.
• Establish reusable integration, API, and automation patterns that can be applied across multiple telecom services.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance to Integration & Automation Engineers throughout design and implementation.
• Review integration designs and implementation to ensure alignment with architecture standards and best practices.
• Support integration testing, troubleshooting, performance optimization, scalability, and production readiness.
• Identify technical risks, integration constraints, and dependencies and recommend appropriate solutions.
• Support the adoption of automation and AI-enabled workflows across service delivery processes.
