Your Impact
- Business

- Support architecture, provisioning, production readiness, estimation, and planning activities.
- Contribute technical input to RFPs, solution proposals, and account planning as needed.
- Engineering
- Design, implement, build, test, deploy, and support integration solutions across cloud and enterprise environments.
- Build reusable templates, boilerplate code, and accelerators to enable faster delivery and predictable quality.
- Define and apply integration engineering best practices, including performance testing, platform configuration, automation, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
- Partner with architects and delivery teams to ensure integration solutions align with enterprise standards and client outcomes.
- Support technology exploration and contribute to engineering knowledge-sharing through documentation, examples, and reusable patterns.
Qualifications
- Hands-on experience designing and implementing integration solutions using microservices architecture and API-led patterns.
- AWS experience is required, including practical experience building, deploying, or supporting cloud-based integration solutions.
- API gateway experience is required, including designing, configuring, securing, and supporting APIs through an enterprise API gateway.
- Experience with REST-based service design and implementation, preferably using Java/Spring Boot and/or Node.js.
- Hands-on Java experience sufficient to build, deploy, troubleshoot, and support Java-based integration components.
- Experience with integration patterns, service orchestration, API security, error handling, logging, and resiliency practices.
- Experience with scripting technologies such as JavaScript.
- Ability to collaborate with client stakeholders, architects, product teams, and engineering teams in a delivery environment.

- Unit testing and integration testing.
- CI/CD and DevOps practices; Terraform or infrastructure-as-code experience is a plus.
- Monitoring, troubleshooting, and production support for integration platforms and APIs.
- Automation mindset with the ability to improve repeatability, quality, and operational efficiency.
- Nice-to-Have Skills
- MuleSoft experience, including Anypoint Platform, CloudHub, Runtime Fabric, or on-premise deployments.
- Experience implementing integration patterns using MuleSoft or similar integration platforms.
