Senior MuleSoft Developer

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior MuleSoft Developer to join our team and lead the design, development, and deployment of integration solutions using MuleSoft s Anypoint Platform. The ideal candidate will have deep experience building scalable APIs and integrations in complex enterprise environments, along with a solid understanding of microservices architecture, API-led connectivity, and best practices in secure, maintainable integration development.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, test, and deploy APIs and integrations using MuleSoft Anypoint Studio and Anypoint Platform.
• Lead implementation of API-led connectivity for new services and integrations.
• Translate business requirements into well-architected integration solutions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including architects, DevOps, security, and product managers.
• Develop and enforce API security policies, including OAuth2, JWT, and Identity Management integrations.
• Leverage MuleSoft best practices for reusability, error handling, and performance tuning.
• Deploy MuleSoft applications to cloud or containerized platforms (e.g., OpenShift, Kubernetes).
• Mentor junior developers and participate in code reviews to ensure high-quality delivery.
• Create and maintain technical documentation for integrations and APIs.
• Troubleshoot production issues and support ongoing platform maintenance.

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in integration development, with 3+ years of MuleSoft hands-on experience.
• Strong understanding of Mule 4, Anypoint Studio, Anypoint API Manager, Runtime Manager, and Exchange.
• Proficiency in RAML, DataWeave, and MUnit testing.
• Experience implementing RESTful APIs and integrating with SOAP services, databases, and SaaS platforms (e.g., Salesforce, Workday).
• Strong grasp of API security, including OAuth2, SAML, and identity providers like Okta or Azure AD.
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools and deployment practices in containerized environments (Docker, OpenShift, Kubernetes).
• Solid understanding of microservices architecture and event-driven patterns.
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.

For a MuleSoft Developer, Identity Management, OS2 (often referring to OpenShift or similar platforms), and Microservices all play important roles depending on the architecture and integration strategy of the organization. Here's a breakdown of where each fits in:

1. Identity Management

Where it comes into play:

• API security and access control: MuleSoft often serves as the API gateway or integration layer, and identity management is key for securing those APIs.
• Integration with IAM tools: MuleSoft commonly integrates with systems like Okta, Azure AD, or LDAP for:
• OAuth2/OpenID Connect authentication
• Role-based access control
• Single sign-on (SSO) for consuming or exposing services
• Policy enforcement: MuleSoft s Anypoint Platform allows the application of identity-based policies to APIs (e.g., rate limiting per user, token validation).

Developer involvement:

• Configuring security policies in API Manager
• Setting up or integrating with identity providers for authentication/authorization
• Troubleshooting access and token issues

2. OS2 / OpenShift / Container Platforms

Where it comes into play:

• Deployment environment: If OS2 refers to OpenShift (Red Hat) or any container orchestration platform (Kubernetes), it s relevant when deploying MuleSoft runtimes (i.e., Mule Runtime on Docker/K8s).
• Organizations may use OpenShift to:
• Host APIs and microservices developed using MuleSoft
• Manage scalability, CI/CD pipelines, and runtime environments

Developer involvement:

• Packaging MuleSoft apps for containerized deployment (e.g., creating Docker images)
• Working with DevOps to configure OpenShift pipelines or deployments
• Understanding logging, monitoring, and configuration in a containerized environment

3. Microservices

Where it comes into play:

• Integration layer: MuleSoft frequently serves as the glue between microservices and legacy systems, enabling service-to-service communication and orchestration.
• API-led connectivity: MuleSoft s architecture (Experience, Process, and System APIs) aligns naturally with microservices principles.
• Service exposure: MuleSoft is used to expose backend microservices securely and manage them through the API lifecycle.

Developer involvement:

• Designing and developing APIs following microservices principles
• Creating lightweight services using Mule flows and deploying them independently
• Handling data transformation and routing between microservices and external systems
