The role involves understanding business requirements, defining integration workflows, and ensuring successful implementation. It acts as a bridge between business, customers, and engineering teams to deliver scalable and efficient solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Engage with customers to understand business use cases, system landscape, and integration requirements

Conduct functional and technical discovery sessions to identify integration touchpoints and constraints

Engage in pre-sales discussions to understand customer systems, technical constraints, and integration requirements, and contribute to solution design

Perform API feasibility analysis to assess compatibility between customer systems and platform capabilities

Design high-level integration solutions across interfaces such as REST APIs, XML APIs, Kafka, SFTP, SQS, etc.

Collaborate with product, engineering, and business teams to define scalable and future-ready solutions

Provide solution approaches, estimations, and technical inputs during requirement discussions

Define end-to-end integration workflows, including data flow, transformation logic, and orchestration

Create detailed API and data mappings aligning customer systems with platform APIs (e.g., Anchanto APIs)

Design parameter-level mappings and transformation rules to ensure accurate data exchange

Identify and implement appropriate integration patterns (real-time, batch, event-driven)

Ensure solutions meet scalability, performance, and security standards

Prepare Solution Design Documents (SDDs) covering architecture, workflows, and mappings

Conduct grooming sessions with engineering teams to ensure clarity on solution design and implementation

Act as a bridge between customer stakeholders and internal engineering teams

Support development, testing, and go-live by resolving integration and design-related challenges

Validate integration flows and assist in troubleshooting issues

Analyse existing integrations, recommend improvements, and support enhancements or changes

Extract and understand integration logic from existing codebases when required
