Summary
We are looking for a Principal / Architect Salesforce Integration (MuleSoft) to lead the design, solutioning, and delivery of scalable enterprise integration architectures for our clients.
This is not only a development role — it is a consulting and solution leadership position. You will partner directly with client stakeholders to understand business objectives, define integration strategies, and architect solutions that connect Salesforce ecosystems with enterprise systems, third-party platforms, and cloud/on-prem environments.
While experience with MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is highly valued, we prioritize strong solution architecture capabilities, integration strategy expertise, and client-facing communication skills. Experience with other enterprise integration platforms (Dell Boomi, Informatica, Azure Integration Services, etc.) is also relevant — MuleSoft specifics can be learned; architectural thinking and consulting mindset cannot.
This role requires balancing functionality, scalability, security, and long-term maintainability in complex integration landscapes.
Education
Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
