As a MuleSoft Architect, you won't be handed a ticket queue or a seat at someone else's table. You'll own the integration platform for our clients — end-to-end. That means standing up a production-ready API-led foundation, running an AI-first delivery program, and building the kind of trusted client partnerships that turn a single engagement into a long-term relationship. You set the architectural direction. The rest of the team follows your lead.

Location: Remote (US). Raleigh–Durham is a plus, not required.

Eligibility: Must live in the US and be authorized to work in the US; no sponsorship.

What You'll Own

You are the technical decision-maker for your client engagements — not a consultant waiting for sign-off.

• Integration Platform Ownership: 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.
• AI-First Program Leadership: Build the AI playbook. Create prompt and snippet libraries that accelerate design, mapping, and testing. Measure the before/after. Coach your team to adopt. Don't theorize — demonstrate.
• Delivery Accountability: Own milestones, scope, and LOE. Keep estimate variance ≤ ±15%. Communicate risks before anyone has to ask. Exec-ready updates go out weekly, without prompting.
• Presales Partnership: Lead discovery, shape solution architecture, and co-author SOWs with clear assumptions. You are the technical voice in the room — and you know how to make architecture land as a value narrative, not a tech briefing.
• Autonomous Execution: 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.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & Platform

• Design API-led target state (system/process/experience), NFRs, and governance.
• Stand up CloudHub 2.0/RTF environments, networking, secrets, and promotion paths.
• Publish templates, policies, and error strategies in Exchange that set the delivery bar — and that teams actually use.

AI Program & Enablement

• Author a practical AI playbook + prompt/snippet library to accelerate design, mapping, and testing — safely.
• Measure cycle-time and quality deltas before and after. Show the gains. Coach adoption.

Delivery & Reliability

• Guide CI/CD strategy, config per environment, and zero-downtime/rollback patterns.
• Define SLOs, alerts, and dashboards. Build integrations that hit latency and accuracy targets.

Presales & Stakeholders

• Own discovery, solution architecture, and LOE/SOW development with clear assumptions.
• Translate architecture trade-offs into exec-ready options. Build presales assets that accelerate the next deal.

Documentation & Communication

• Write ADRs, API docs, and runbooks that make decisions legible and repeatable.
• Direct, no-fluff communication — always. If you can say it in three sentences, don't use ten.

Required Qualifications

• Architecture Experience (Required): 1+ year in a formal MuleSoft Architect role owning target state, decisions, and trade-offs — not just senior development duties.
• API & Integration Architecture: Expert-level API-led design on Mule 4/Anypoint with clean system/process/experience boundaries.
• AI/LLM Tools & Automation: 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.
• MuleSoft Platform Mastery: DataWeave 2.x, CloudHub 2.0, Runtime Fabric, Flex Gateway, Anypoint MQ; Exchange-driven reuse and policy governance.
• DevOps, CI/CD & IaC: Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Maven, Terraform; env promotion to CH2.0/RTF; blue/green + rollback strategies.
• Security & Standards: RAML/OAS, OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, mTLS/TLS, secrets, encryption — policy bundles baked into delivery, not bolted on after.
• Observability & SLOs: Anypoint Monitoring, Datadog, or Splunk; error budgets and actionable alerts.
• Cloud & Networking: AWS/Azure VPC/VPN, private spaces, NAT/DNS/certs; cost and performance trade-offs you can defend.
• Client-Facing Consulting Experience: 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 Certifications: MuleSoft Certified Platform Architect and/or MuleSoft Certified Integration Architect required.

Preferred / Bonus

• Experience leading presales end-to-end — discovery through signed SOW.
• Hands-on AI acceleration work with documented before/after delivery gains.
• Security and governance depth: policy-as-code, OAuth2/OIDC, mTLS, auditable standards teams actually follow.

Equal Opportunity, Zero BS

Green Irony is an equal opportunity employer committed to building an inclusive team where diverse voices drive better outcomes.

We evaluate all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, veteran status, disability, or any other protected classification — because the only bias we tolerate is toward delivering excellent work.

As a Senior MuleSoft Engineer, you will design and deliver API-led integration solutions on Anypoint Platform — directly with clients, from discovery through go-live. You'll drive architecture decisions, protect margin through scope discipline, and build the kind of trusted client relationships that turn one engagement into many.

What You'll Own

You will be the technical owner of your client engagements — not a resource assigned to a ticket queue. That means:

• Client Delivery Ownership: Lead integration programs end-to-end for external clients — from discovery and estimation through SOW shaping, stakeholder alignment, and delivery KPIs (on-time, on-budget, CSAT).
• Stakeholder Management (exec → dev): Navigate the full relationship stack. Translate architecture trade-offs to executives, earn trust with engineering teams, and keep both sides aligned throughout delivery.
• Scope Discipline: Anticipate risk early, communicate trade-offs clearly, and protect margin through change-order discipline — without damaging the relationship.
• Autonomous Execution: Own your calendar, your estimates, and your commitments. No one will chase you for updates. You surface risks before they surface you.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Delivery

• Lead technical design, implementation, and deployment of large-scale MuleSoft integration and API solutions (CloudHub 2.0, Runtime Fabric, Anypoint MQ, Flex Gateway, or on-prem).
• Develop and maintain DataWeave scripts, Mule flows, and CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins).
• Enforce architectural and security standards (RAML/OAS, OAuth2, JWT, TLS, encryption).
• Monitor and optimize integrations for performance, scalability, and maintainability.

Client-Facing Services Delivery

• Lead discovery sessions, shape estimates, and contribute to SOW development — you are the technical voice in the room with the client.
• Own delivery KPIs: on-time rate ≥90%, estimate variance ≤±15%, client satisfaction scores that earn repeat business.
• Proactively communicate status, risks, and decisions — updates go out without being asked.
• Build trusted relationships that make scope conversations easier, not harder.
• When scope creeps (and it will), you call it — with a path forward, not just a flag.

Leadership & Collaboration

• Provide coaching and technical guidance to engineers; lead code reviews and process improvements.
• Operate as a peer, not a manager — lift standards through quality of work and direct feedback.

Innovation & AI

• AI as Your Default Toolchain: You reach for your AI-enabled IDE, LLM-based assistants, and AI-powered static analysis before anything else — not as a shortcut, but because better tools produce better outcomes. You don't write code you can automate reviewing.
• Integration Workflows, Augmented: You actively prototype and deploy AI/LLM services inside integration solutions — summarization, document parsing, intelligent transformation, synthetic test data generation.
• Advance automation with AI-assisted code review and LLM-based development platforms to accelerate delivery and lift code quality across the team.

Ways of Working

• The best engineers here don't wait to be told what to do next. They already know. You set direction, track your own commitments, and communicate proactively — without a layer between you and the client.
• WIP stays at ≤2 concurrent workstreams. You know what's at risk before your teammates do.
• If you've always been three steps ahead of your own deadlines, you'll feel right at home.

Required Qualifications

• Consulting Services Experience: 3–5+ years delivering integration programs for external clients — leading discovery/estimation, shaping SOWs, managing stakeholders from exec to dev, and owning delivery KPIs. This is non-negotiable. Internal IT delivery experience does not substitute.
• Client-Facing Ownership: Proven track record of managing client relationships through the full engagement lifecycle — including difficult scope and change-order conversations that preserve both trust and margin.
• API & Microservices Architecture: Expert in designing, implementing, and maintaining distributed, scalable API-led solutions using MuleSoft and industry-standard patterns.
• MuleSoft Platform Mastery: Advanced hands-on with Anypoint Platform, including DataWeave 2.x, CloudHub 2.0, Runtime Fabric, Flex Gateway, and Anypoint MQ.
• Autonomous Execution: Demonstrated ability to self-govern in flat, PM-free consulting environments — independently scoping, prioritizing, and delivering without hand-holding. If you've only worked in highly structured orgs, be honest with yourself about this one.
• AI/LLM Tools & Automation: 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.
• DevOps, CI/CD & Automation: Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and cloud-native deployment strategies.
• Security & Integration Standards: Advanced knowledge of RAML/OAS, OAuth2, JWT, TLS, and encryption best practices.
• Programming Proficiency: Skilled in Java and Node.js, with the ability to refactor legacy codebases into clean, maintainable solutions.
• MuleSoft Certifications: MuleSoft Certified Developer – Level 1 required; Architect or Integration Professional certifications strongly preferred.

Preferred/Bonus

• Experience integrating Salesforce, AWS, or other SaaS/ERP platforms.
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures (Kafka, Pub/Sub).
• Hands-on experience or strong interest in AI/ML pipeline design or integration.
