DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Core Integration Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, deploy and support API and EDI integrations on MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, from requirements through go-live and ongoing support.
  • Build scalable, reusable integration modules, APIs and connectors that follow API-led connectivity and enterprise architecture standards.
  • Develop and support integrations for freight forwarding applications across air, ocean, customs brokerage and logistics, working with internal systems, Salesforce and external trading partners.
  • Keep integrations healthy in production: monitoring, alerting, logging, root cause analysis and permanent fixes for recurring issues.
  • Triage and resolve production integration failures and data discrepancies within defined SLAs, and take part in escalations for business-critical integrations.
  • Support CI/CD pipelines and keep runtime environments consistent across development, staging and production.
  • Maintain relational and non-relational databases that support integration and AI workloads.

AI-Enabled Integration Responsibilities

• Extend the integration platform with AI, using MuleSoft's AI and agentic features (e.g., MCP Connector, AI Chain, Agentforce/Agent Fabric) and similar integration-native tools.
• Turn existing point solutions, such as direct LLM API calls, into standard, reusable integration patterns and connectors that teams can plug in with minimal configuration.
• Build and maintain connections to LLM providers and model routing services inside integration flows, and help evaluate which models fit which workloads.
• Build AI-assisted document and data extraction pipelines (e.g., shipping documents, invoices, customs forms), with the same validation, error handling and reprocessing used in standard integrations.
• Build agent workflows and tool-calling patterns in which integrations and APIs act as the agents' tools. Apply guardrails, memory and orchestration as needed.
• Support retrieval (RAG) patterns that ground AI features in company and client data.
• Apply monitoring, observability and cost-tracking practices to AI-enabled flows so they meet the same production standards as other integrations.
• Build shared services, such as MCP servers and standard connectors, that other teams and agent implementations can reuse.
• Keep up with the integration vendor's AI roadmap and recommend adopting features where they add business value.
• Work with integration, Salesforce and operational systems teams to add AI capabilities to existing business processes.
• Work with business stakeholders and project leads to turn operational requirements into integration and agent designs.
• Document solutions, patterns and standards, and contribute to the AI project portfolio and roadmap.
• Other duties as assigned.

EDUCATION AND/OR WORK EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

Equal experience on another enterprise integration platform, such as Dell Boomi, IBM Sterling B2B Integrator, Cleo Integration Cloud, TIBCO or webMethods, will also be considered.
• Solid experience with REST/SOAP APIs, JSON/XML and data mapping and transformation.
• Experience with EDI standards (X12, EDIFACT) and B2B protocols (AS2, SFTP).
• Experience supporting integrations in production, including monitoring, troubleshooting and incident response.
• Working knowledge of SQL and CI/CD practices (e.g., Git, Maven, Jenkins/Azure DevOps).

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
