· Drive the end-to-end API lifecycle through API Manager and MuleSoft capabilities, covering API design, implementation, deployment, governance, policy enforcement, performance monitoring, and continuous improvement.
· Define reusable API-led integration patterns, frameworks, payload structures, and security standards that keep system and data flows resilient, maintainable, and aligned with enterprise architecture.
· Provide hands-on technical leadership for solution architecture, development, troubleshooting, code reviews, testing, and quality assurance across MuleSoft and AWS integration components.
· Implement authentication, authorization, encryption, logging, monitoring, and alerting controls that protect customer and operational data while improving service reliability and incident response.
· Optimize the performance, availability, and operational resilience of integrations supporting outage workflows so customers receive timely and accurate service-status and restoration information.
· Collaborate with product owners, business analysts, utilities subject-matter experts, infrastructure teams, and cloud teams to translate requirements into integration designs and coordinate hybrid delivery within agreed timelines.
· Maintain architecture documents, mapping specifications, and operational runbooks, while mentoring engineers on API design, integration troubleshooting, reusable assets, and utilities-domain practices.
What you need to have to be considered
· 10–13 years of enterprise integration experience, including proven technical leadership in designing and delivering complex, business-critical solutions.
· Strong hands-on expertise in MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, including API-led connectivity, Mule applications, integration patterns, DataWeave, deployment, and troubleshooting.
· Deep experience with API Manager and end-to-end API lifecycle management, including API design, governance, policy enforcement, analytics, versioning, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
· Working experience with AWS Kiro or comparable AI-assisted, specification-driven engineering tools for creating designs, code, tests, documentation, and repeatable development workflows.
· Strong knowledge of API and integration security, including authentication, authorization, encryption, secure communication, compliance controls, and protection of customer and operational data.
· Experience implementing resilient integration services with effective logging, monitoring, alerting, performance tuning, high availability, and incident-response practices.
· Utilities domain experience, preferably involving outage management processes, service-status communication, restoration workflows, or other operationally critical integrations.
· MuleSoft Certified Integration Architect or an equivalent enterprise integration certification relevant to MuleSoft and API management, with strong stakeholder communication, team mentoring, and hybrid-delivery coordination skills.
