Integration Lead

00070425831

About the role

As an Integration Lead , you will make an impact by owning the integration architecture, delivery and run of approximately 45–55 interfaces connecting nCino, Brilliance and Taktile / Experian with the retained Pega, Java, Siebel.. You will be a valued member of the programme team and work collaboratively with the Programme Technical / Architecture Lead, a squad of integration developers, cross-vendor partners and the Design Authority governance board.

In this role, you will:

  • Define and own the end-to-end integration architecture and strategy on MuleSoft (API-led connectivity — system, process and experience APIs — and event-driven patterns).
  • Establish reusable integration patterns, standards and a canonical data model, aligned with Rabobank enterprise architecture and governed by the Design Authority.
  • Lead solution design and delivery for approximately 45–55 integrations across internal (core banking, CRM / Siebel, risk, pricing, data) and external platforms.
  • Provide technical leadership, design and code reviews, and mentoring to integration developers.
  • Own non-functional requirements: scalability, resilience, performance, security (OAuth2, mTLS, tokenisation), observability and error handling.
  • Manage cross-vendor dependencies and technical alignment across the SI, Deloitte (implementation partner), nCino, Brilliance and Taktile / Experian.
  • Drive DevOps maturity — CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, version control and release management for integration assets.
  • Support data readiness, migration orchestration and reconciliation across the current and target landscapes.
  • Plan and estimate integration work within an Agile / SAFe model; manage backlog, risks, issues and quality.
  • Establish the integration run and support model, ensuring a smooth transition from build into a stable, maintainable operation.
  • Report progress, risks and key technical decisions to programme leadership and architecture governance.
