Role Overview

The MuleSoft Architect will lead the design and implementation of API-led integration solutions across three workstreams-External Partner Integrations, Identity & Authentication, and Event-Driven Architecture. The role combines architectural leadership with hands-on coding to ensure scalability, security, and operational readiness. The Architect will establish governance frameworks and prepare the foundation for a managed services model.

Solution Architecture & Design

  • Define and document end-to-end integration architecture using MuleSoft Anypoint Platform.
  • Establish API-led connectivity patterns for external partner integrations, identity services, and event-driven architecture.
  • Ensure compliance with security standards (OAuth2, OIDC, JWT, TLS) and enforce identity policies for Okta/Azure AD.
  • Design event-driven frameworks leveraging MuleSoft MQ, DLQs, backoff/retry, and performance baselines.

Hands-On Development

Actively code critical components, proofs-of-concept, and complex integrations (Mule 4, DataWeave).

Develop reusable templates, connectors, and API implementations for CloudHub 1.0/2.0.

Configure CI/CD (GitHub Actions), secrets management, and environment promotion strategies.

Troubleshoot and optimize performance (caching, pagination, connection strategies) in lower and production environments.

Governance & Best Practices

Create API style guides, coding standards, and reference implementations.

Enforce MUnit coverage thresholds; establish automated quality gates and PR reviews.

Implement observability using Anypoint Monitoring and centralized logging; define SLOs/SLIs for services.

Leadership & Delivery

Serve as technical authority for onsite/offshore PODs; mentor Tech Leads and Senior Developers.

Lead sprint ceremonies with product and platform stakeholders; maintain clear Definition of Ready/Done.

Conduct architecture reviews and oversee backlog grooming aligned to roadmap and KPIs (velocity, MTTR, defect leakage).

Transition to Managed Services

Create operational runbooks, on-call rotations, and incident/problem/change management workflows.

Define a 8 12-week glide path with handover checklists, KT plan, and steady-state support model.

Required Skills & Experience

8+ years in integration architecture; 4+ years in MuleSoft architect/lead roles.

Comprehensive knowledge of Anypoint Platform: API Manager, Runtime Manager, Design Center, Exchange.

CloudHub deployments, VPCs, shared spaces, and multi-environment promotion strategies.

RESTful API design, OAuth2/OIDC, JWT; external IdP integrations (Okta, Azure AD).

Testing & QA: MUnit, contract tests; Postman collections and collaboration workflows.
