• Evaluate platform upgrades, new capabilities, and migration paths, making recommendations grounded in operational impact
• Design monitoring and alerting frameworks using Anypoint Monitoring and enterprise observability tools to ensure proactive issue detection
• Manage incident response for integration failures, ensuring rapid triage and resolution for business-critical data flows
• Establish a Center for Enablement approach to integration: documented patterns, reference implementations, onboarding guides, and self-service capabilities that scale integration delivery beyond a single team
• Provide technical mentorship and architectural guidance to integration developers, raising the quality and consistency of delivered work
• Build and maintain integration runbooks, operational documentation, and architectural decision records
• Define and track platform metrics: API reuse rates, deployment frequency, error rates, and time-to-production for new integrations

Requirements

• 5+ years in enterprise integration or software engineering, with 5+ years of hands-on MuleSoft development (Mule 4 required)
• 3+ years in a lead, architect, or senior technical role where you owned integration strategy and standards, not just individual project delivery

• Strong command of API-led connectivity methodology and the ability to articulate and enforce it across an organization
• Advanced DataWeave proficiency and experience with complex transformation scenarios across diverse data formats (JSON, XML, CSV, EDI, HL7)
• Demonstrated experience building CI/CD pipelines for MuleSoft deployments with automated testing (MUnit)
• Experience managing vendor relationships, including license optimization, support escalations, and platform roadmap alignment
• Strong cross-functional communication skills. Effective translating between technical architecture and business requirements with stakeholders in finance, CRM, HR, and product
