## About the Role

* 4+ years hands-on Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) - both CAI (Cloud Application Integration) and CDI (Cloud Data Integration) and also with CIH.
 * Salesforce integration experience - REST/SOAP APIs, platform events, Salesforce object model, and Apex-adjacent integration patterns (Apex not required, but the ability to read it is a plus).
 * Practical experience with API gateway / API management concepts - OAuth 2.0, rate limiting, response caching - and hands-on OpenAPI 3.x specification authoring.
 * Change Data Capture (CDC) and/or event-streaming experience - Kafka or SQS, or a CDC tool (IDMC-native equivalent).
 * Solid SQL and experience working with BigQuery or a comparable cloud data warehouse.
 * Comfortable working from an architecture document and interface inventory rather than a blank page - able to read a current-state * target-state mapping and implement against it without needing the design re-explained., * Experience with Informatica CLAIRE (AI-assisted mapping, schema-drift detection, or MDM match/merge) - several target-state interfaces are candidates for CLAIRE-accelerated build, and prior exposure shortens ramp-up.
 * Higher-education sector experience, particularly with Banner SIS, Ellucian Ethos, StudyLink, or Canvas LMS.
 * Experience building or consuming a governed API catalog (API Center / API gateway products)
 * Exposure to reconciliation/data-quality tooling and dead-letter/replay patterns in a production integration estate.
