As a MuleSoft Architect, you will own the integration platform, lead API-led architecture design, and manage integration outcomes for clients while providing guidance on AI-driven delivery and project management.
At Green Irony, we exist to turn AI into Actual Intelligence—accelerating outcomes and proving that complexity is optional. We hire people who automate first, ask permission never, and treat ownership as a default setting. If you’d rather govern yourself than be governed by layers of project managers, welcome home.
As a MuleSoft Architect you’ll own the integration platform and outcomes for our clients. You’ll stand up a production-ready API-led foundation, run an AI-first delivery program, design KPI-moving integrations, codify reusable standards, and lead Sales partnerships on discovery, solutioning and SOWs.
Location: Remote (US). Raleigh–Durham is a plus, not required.
Eligibility: Must live in the US and be authorized to work in the US; no sponsorship.
Key ResponsibilitiesArchitecture & Platform- Design API-led target state (system/process/experience), NFRs, and governance.
- Stand up CH2.0/RTF environments, networking, secrets, and promotion paths.
- Publish templates/policies/error strategies in Exchange that teams actually use.
- Author a lightweight AI playbook + prompt/snippet library to speed design/mapping/testing—safely.
- Measure before/after cycle-time and quality deltas; coach teams to adopt.
- Guide CI/CD, config per env, zero-downtime/rollback strategies.
- Define SLOs/alerts/dashboards; ensure integrations hit latency/accuracy targets.
- Plan → Ship: Define milestones/scope/LOE, run a lightweight cadence (checkpoints/RAID), manage change against SOW, and deliver predictably.
- Forecast & Communicate: Keep estimate variance ≤ ±15% with clear assumptions and exec-ready weekly updates (options/tradeoffs, risks, decisions).
- Own discovery, solution architecture, LOE/SOW with clear assumptions.
- Translate architecture into value narratives and reusable presales assets.
- Write crisp ADRs, API docs, runbooks; make decisions legible and repeatable.
- Previous Architecture Experience (Required) — 1+ year in a formal MuleSoft Architect role owning target state, decisions, and trade-offs (beyond senior development duties).
- API & Integration Architecture — Expert in API-led design on Mule 4/Anypoint with clean system/process/experience boundaries.
- AI/LLM Tools & Automation — Uses LLM assistants/test/data generators/static analysis to accelerate design/mapping/testing while protecting IP/data.
- MuleSoft Platform Mastery — DataWeave 2.x, CloudHub 2.0, Runtime Fabric, Flex Gateway, Anypoint MQ; Exchange-driven reuse and policy governance.
- DevOps, CI/CD & IaC — Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions/Jenkins, Maven, Terraform; env promotion to CH2.0/RTF; blue/green + rollback.
- Security & Standards — RAML/OAS, OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, mTLS/TLS, secrets, encryption; policy bundles baked into delivery.
- Observability & SLOs — Logs/metrics/traces with Anypoint Monitoring, Datadog/Splunk; error budgets and actionable alerts.
- Cloud & Networking — AWS/Azure VPC/VPN, private spaces, NAT/DNS/certs; cost/perf trade-offs for CH2.0/RTF.
- Messaging & Eventing — Pragmatic Anypoint MQ/Kafka with idempotency, DLQs, and backoff.
- Programming Proficiency — Strong Java/Node.js to review, refactor, and contribute; insists on clean, testable services.
- Client-Facing Consulting Experience — Worked at a consultancy/SI directly with customers: runs discovery, aligns stakeholders, presents solution options, contributes to LOE/SOW; keeps estimate variance ≤ ±15% and communicates crisply to execs.
- MuleSoft Certifications — MuleSoft Certified Platform Architect and/or MuleSoft Certified Integration Architect.
- Presales & SOWs — Leads discovery, shapes solution options, models LOE, and writes SOWs with ≤ ±15% variance.
- AI Acceleration (Hands-On) — Uses LLM tools to speed design/mapping/testing; shows before/after gains without needing a formal playbook.
- Security & Governance Depth — Policy-as-code mindset; OAuth2/OIDC, mTLS, secrets, and auditable standards that teams actually follow.
