Role: Senior Cloud Integration Architect (Azure, Event-Driven FX Platform) at Onsite
Location: Chicago, IL
Type: Long Term Contract
C2C
Role Summary
We are hiring a senior engineer/architect to design and deliver integration patterns for the FX platform across Azure and on-prem environments.
This role is responsible for both defining how systems should work together and making sure those designs are actually implemented. The work includes designing event-driven integrations, defining data and event models, and guiding delivery across multiple teams.
Responsibilities
Define platform-level approaches for:
Canonical event and data models
Integration contracts between systems
Data modeling approaches (including event-based and relational patterns, and Data Vault where it makes sense)
Design Azure-based services for ingestion, processing, and downstream integration (e.g. Azure Container Apps, AKS, etc.)
Own hybrid integration architecture, including networking, security, and deployment patterns between Azure and on-prem systems.
Design event-driven integration patterns using on-prem or cloud-based messaging tools depending on the use case
Produce architecture documentation (SDDs, connectivity, security, DR, and observability) that can move through governance reviews without rework
Work with multiple teams to align on integration patterns and resolve gaps that affect delivery
Contribute hands-on where needed (building services, troubleshooting, validating integrations)
Required Experience
Experience designing and delivering distributed, event-driven systems
Hands-on experience with Kafka, Azure Service Bus, and Azure Event Hubs
Strong DBMS background: SQL Server, Postgres, Oracle, etc.
Strong experience with Azure services, including:
Azure Container Apps or AKS
Storage/ADLS
Key Vault and ACR
Monitoring (Application Insights, Log Analytics)
Networking (private endpoints, DNS, hybrid connectivity)
Experience defining integration patterns and data models across systems
Ability to create clear, implementation-ready architecture and design documentation
Nice to Have
Databricks
Snowflake
Experience working with enterprise governance processes (architecture reviews, permits)

What Success Looks Like
Integration patterns are consistent across services and teams
Architecture documents are clear and usable by engineers without extra interpretation
New services fit into the platform without one-off designs
Issues affecting delivery are identified and addressed early
Working Style
Comfortable owning both design and delivery
Practical approach to problem solving
Able to move between architecture, implementation, and coordination as needed
Works effectively across teams without relying on strict ownership boundaries
