Hybrid Integration Architect - Sterling Integrator

The Role

The Integrations Architect is responsible for designing, building, and supporting system integrations that connect customer platforms with internal systems. This role focuses on EDI, APIs, and event-driven integrations across WMS, TMS, ERP, and customer applications. This role is critical to enabling customer onboarding, automation, visibility, and self-service capabilities.
You will guide our transformation from fragmentation to a single-pane-of-glass integration architecture.
You will set the architectural standards and own the guardrails for the foundation which every integration project builds upon.
This is both a hands-on technical role and a practice-building leadership position.
You will report to the Director of Customer Technology Solutions.

• Support self-service reprocessing, error handling, and audit traceability.
• Collaborate with product, portal, and API teams to enable end-to-end workflows.
• Document integration specifications, data mappings, and operational runbooks.
