Hope you are doing well!
We are looking for a Mulesoft Technical Lead. Below is the job description for your reference, please have a look and share the best level of your interest.
Role: Mulesoft Technical Lead
Client: Teckleap
End Client: Huntington National Bank (HNB)
Location: Remote
Type: Contract
Lead the discovery, design, and delivery planning of enterprise integrations using MuleSoft. This role interfaces with product owners, business SMEs, enterprise architects, security, and source/target system teams to define integration requirements and translate them into a buildable MuleSoft backlog. The Technical Lead owns the integration solution design and provides day-to-day technical direction to an offshore delivery team, ensuring consistent implementation, quality, and operational readiness.
Key Responsibilities
Discovery & Impact Assessment
- Partner with business and technology stakeholders to understand end-to-end process flows, integration touchpoints, and system-of-record boundaries.
- Elicit and document functional and non-functional requirements (volumes, latency/SLAs, availability, RPO/RTO, security, compliance, audit).
- Inventory and validate integration dependencies: upstream/downstream systems, APIs/events/files, batch schedules, error handling expectations, and operational ownership.
- Identify gaps in existing API contracts, data models, environments, access, and test data; drive actions to unblock delivery.
Integration Architecture & Design (MuleSoft)
- Define target-state integration architecture using MuleSoft (API-led connectivity where appropriate: Experience / Process / System APIs).
- Produce architecture artifacts (context diagrams, sequence diagrams, interface contracts, error handling standards, and deployment view).
- Design API specifications (RAML/OAS as applicable), versioning strategy, compatibility approach, and deprecation plan.
- Define integration patterns per use case:
- Sync vs async, event-driven vs request/response, batch vs real-time.
- Idempotency/deduplication, retries, DLQ/replay strategy, and exception routing.
- Ensure security-by-design (OAuth2/mTLS, client management, policy enforcement, secrets handling, least privilege).
- Define observability standards (correlation IDs, structured logging, dashboards/alerts, runbooks).
Delivery Decomposition & Team Leadership (Offshore Execution)
- Decompose designs into epics/stories/tasks with clear acceptance criteria, test strategy, and definition of done.
- Provide hands-on technical leadership to offshore developers: code reviews, design walkthroughs, implementation patterns, and troubleshooting.
- Establish working norms for distributed delivery (handoffs, overlap hours, backlog grooming, and technical checkpoints).
- Maintain delivery pace while protecting architectural integrity; manage technical debt consciously with transparent trade-offs.
Governance, Quality, and Release Readiness
- Define and enforce MuleSoft development standards (naming, packaging, common libraries, error handling, logging, and performance).
- Partner with QA on a layered test approach (MUnit, contract testing, integration testing, performance testing).
- Support CI/CD and environment promotion practices (config separation, secrets, approvals, rollback strategy).
- Drive production readiness: operational runbooks, monitoring/alerting, support model, and incident response approach.
Required Skills & Experience
- 7+ years in integration engineering, including 3+ years leading integration delivery teams.
- Strong hands-on MuleSoft experience (Anypoint Platform) with proven delivery of multiple production integrations.
- Solid integration architecture skills: API-led design, system/process/experience layering, reusable asset strategy.
- Strong API design and lifecycle management: contract-first thinking, versioning, backward compatibility.
- Deep understanding of integration reliability concerns: retries, idempotency, messaging patterns, error handling, resiliency controls.
- Experience coordinating across a geographically dispersed team (onshore/offshore), with strong backlog decomposition and technical review practices.
- Strong stakeholder management: able to translate ambiguous requirements into actionable delivery plans and influence cross-team decisions.
- Working knowledge of security and compliance requirements for integrations (authN/authZ, encryption, auditability).
Nice to Have
- Experience with CloudHub and/or Runtime Fabric, and the deployment/operating model trade-offs.
- Familiarity with Anypoint governance (API Manager policies, Exchange asset lifecycle, platform standards).
- Domain experience in wealth management / broker-dealer operations and advisor workflows.
- Experience modernizing integration landscapes (reducing point-to-point, introducing canonical models/events, improving observability).
