Integration Architect

Finnair is a diverse community of professionals who work ambitiously with a big heart and commitment. A strong safety culture is our priority and at the core of our everyday work, never taking it for granted. We are committed to doing our share in solving the climate challenge by determinedly following our science-based pathway to decarbonize our operations. We find meaning in our purpose: With our heart in Finland, we make every journey better, today and tomorrow. Our values - Always Safe, Customer at Heart and Stronger Together- guide us in everything we do.

As part of the evolution of our Digital organisation, we are strengthening strategy implementation by clarifying structures and leadership to bring more focus, improve prioritisation, and support the business more closely. The new setup strengthens product management and software development practices and provides a clearer foundation for data and AI driven development, while enabling clearer roles and new opportunities for professional growth. 

As part of that change, we are now looking for a   

INTEGRATION ARCHITECT 

to join Finnair's Digital Transformation & Architecture team. 

In this role, you will be responsible for designing and governing Finnair's enterprise integration architecture - ensuring that systems, APIs, data flows, and platforms interoperate reliably, securely, and at scale across operational, commercial, and enterprise domains. 

You will define the integration strategy and drive common principles, standards, and patterns (e.g., API-first, event-driven integration, messaging/data movement) and maintain integration roadmaps aligned with enterprise architecture and platform evolution. 

You will work closely with architects, solution and platform teams, and external partners to ensure integration decisions support scalability, resilience, performance, and security-and that integration becomes a consistent foundation for Finnair's long-term digital transformation. 

What You Will Do:

As an Integration Architect, you will: 

• Design the target-state integration architecture supporting long-term digital transformation across customer, operations, retailing, enterprise and data & AI domains. 

• Define and maintain integration principles, standards and patterns (APIs, events, messaging, data movement). 

• Modernize and guide event-driven architecture (pub/sub, streaming, event schemas, asynchronous orchestration). 

• Define and govern API architecture principles (API management, versioning, lifecycle, developer experience). 

• Ensure integration solutions meet key non-functional requirements (scalability, resilience, performance, observability). 

• Model and maintain end-to-end integration flows across platforms (channels, operational systems, enterprise systems, data platform). 

• Prevent point-to-point proliferation by promoting reusable integration components and shared services. 

• Drive integration governance and quality practices (naming, security, schema governance, contract testing). 

• Provide technical leadership to teams and initiatives, guiding pattern selection and modern integration technologies (API gateways, event brokers, iPaaS, cloud integration). 

• Partner with security and data teams to ensure secure-by-design integrations and regulatory compliance (e.g. GDPR). 

• Review and guide system-to-system interface designs across business-critical systems. 

• Oversee vendor-delivered integration work and support tooling decisions and modernization roadmap. 

What we are looking for? 

• 5-10 years in integration architecture, solution architecture, or platform engineering roles. 

• Ability to design scalable, resilient and secure integrations in cloud environments. 

• Hands-on knowledge of integration platforms and tools (API management, streaming, iPaaS). 

• Experience in defining standards, governance and reusable integration patterns. 

• Ability to model end-to-end integration flows across complex system landscapes. 

• Strong collaboration and influencing skills with business, data, security and engineering teams.
