Role Details:
We're supporting a major transformation programme and are looking for an experienced Integration Architect with strong Kafka expertise to lead the design and delivery of large scale integration solutions.

The successful candidate will combine strong architectural capability with the ability to get into the detail when required. This is not a purely governance focused role.
