Job Level
About the role
- Own the integration platform for our clients — end-to-end.
- Design the target-state API-led architecture (system/process/experience layers), define NFRs, govern standards, and publish reusable templates that teams actually use — not just reference.
- Build the AI playbook. Create prompt and snippet libraries that accelerate design, mapping, and testing. Measure the before/after. Coach your team to adopt.
- Own milestones, scope, and LOE. Keep estimate variance ≤ ±15%. Communicate risks before anyone has to ask. Exec-ready updates go out weekly, without prompting.
- Lead discovery, shape solution architecture, and co-author SOWs with clear assumptions.
- You track your own commitments. You surface risks before they surface you. If you've always been three steps ahead of your own deadlines, you'll feel right at home.
Requirements
- 1+ year in a formal MuleSoft Architect role owning target state, decisions, and trade-offs — not just senior development duties.
- Expert-level API-led design on Mule 4/Anypoint with clean system/process/experience boundaries.
- You don't just tolerate AI tools — you seek them out. Cursor, LLM-based assistants, AI-powered static analysis — these are in your daily rotation, not your LinkedIn bio.
- DataWeave 2.x, CloudHub 2.0, Runtime Fabric, Flex Gateway, Anypoint MQ; Exchange-driven reuse and policy governance.
- Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Maven, Terraform; env promotion to CH2.0/RTF; blue/green + rollback strategies.
- RAML/OAS, OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, mTLS/TLS, secrets, encryption — policy bundles baked into delivery, not bolted on after.
- Anypoint Monitoring, Datadog, or Splunk; error budgets and actionable alerts.
- AWS/Azure VPC/VPN, private spaces, NAT/DNS/certs; cost and performance trade-offs you can defend.
- You've worked at a consultancy or SI with direct client ownership. You run discovery, align stakeholders from exec to dev, contribute to LOE/SOW, and keep estimate variance ≤ ±15%. Internal IT delivery doesn't substitute.
- MuleSoft Certified Platform Architect and/or MuleSoft Certified Integration Architect required.
