• Build architecture diagrams and workflows to demonstrate steps and describe logical operational steps of the system
• Create accurate work estimates and design solutions for execution
• Work on complex projects independently and with a team during multiple phases of a project
• Be the subject matter expert who acts as a “consultant” on complex projects/initiatives

What you bring to the table:

• 5+ years in integration development and MuleSoft implementation
• Must be fluent in English, both written and verbal
• In-depth knowledge and hands-on experience with MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, including Mule Runtime, Anypoint Studio, DataWeave, and API management

• Familiarity with MuleSoft best practices and design patterns
• Experience working with ERP, CRM & Data Warehouse systems
• Experience in designing scalable and high-performance integration solutions
• Expertise in API design and management using MuleSoft's API Manager

• Experience with popular Java frameworks such as Spring Framework, Hibernate, and Apache Struts
• Retail and eCommerce industry experience is desirable
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related technical field
