## Description

We're hiring a Lead MuleSoft Developer to rebuild our integration platform around cloud-native, event-driven, API-first architecture. This isn't a "next project" role. It's a seat at the table where the strategy gets decided.

If you've been the best MuleSoft developer in the room for a while now and you're ready to set the standards instead of following them, this is that role.

NOTE: No sponsorships for this role. Must have a Green Card or be a U.S. citizen.

What You'll Own

 * Design and build enterprise integrations on MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform
 * Create reusable APIs connecting core systems, cloud apps, third-party services, and internal platforms
 * Define the enterprise API strategy and integration standards - not just execute someone else's
 * Architect integration solutions that are scalable, secure, and built to last
 * Lead technical design discussions and set architectural direction across integration initiatives
 * Mentor developers through design reviews and hands-on technical leadership
 * Drive platform performance, reliability, and operational excellence
 * Partner directly with enterprise architects, application teams, and business stakeholders on enterprise-wide solutions
