Integration Architect, MuleSoft Platform

Datavant is the data collaboration platform trusted for healthcare. Guided by our mission to make the world's health data secure, accessible and actionable, we provide critical data solutions for organizations across the healthcare ecosystem - including providers, health plans, researchers, and life sciences companies. From fulfilling a single patient's request for their medical records to powering the AI revolution in healthcare, Datavanters are building the future of how data is connected and used to improve health.

By joining Datavant today, you're stepping onto a driven and highly collaborative team that is passionate about creating transformative change in healthcare.

What We're Looking For

The Integration Architect, MuleSoft Platform owns Datavant's MuleSoft Anypoint Platform end-to-end: architecture, development standards, vendor management, and the integration patterns that connect enterprise business systems across the organization.

Datavant is leaning into MuleSoft as its enterprise integration layer, connecting financial platforms, CRM environments, HR systems, automation infrastructure, and healthcare data workflows through API-led connectivity. Today, this capability lacks a dedicated owner. Integration knowledge is distributed, patterns are inconsistent, and the platform is under-governed relative to the volume and criticality of data flowing through it. This role closes that gap.

This is not a strategy-only position. The Integration Architect will define integration architecture and governance standards while simultaneously doing hands-on development - building APIs, writing DataWeave transformations, reviewing code, and troubleshooting production issues. The role requires someone equally comfortable whiteboarding an integration strategy with stakeholders and writing the Mule application that implements it.

The role partners closely with the Salesforce Center of Excellence, Finance IT, HR IT, and other departments who consume integrations, translating business requirements into well-architected, reusable API solutions. It also owns the MuleSoft vendor relationship and is responsible for platform health, license optimization, and operational reliability.

What You Will Do

Integration Architecture & Platform Governance

• Own the architecture and governance of Datavant's MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, including API-led connectivity standards, reusable asset strategy, and platform administration

• Define and enforce integration design patterns such as API layering (Experience, Process, System), error handling frameworks, logging standards, and security policies, that ensure consistency across all integration delivery

• Establish and maintain the organization's API catalog on Anypoint Exchange, promoting discoverability and reuse to prevent duplicate integrations and point-to-point sprawl

• Lead architectural reviews for new integration requests, ensuring solutions align with enterprise patterns and do not introduce unnecessary complexity or technical debt

• Own platform administration for CloudHub and/or Runtime Fabric: environment provisioning, resource allocation, deployment strategies, and capacity planning

Hands-On Integration Development

• Design and build high-complexity Mule 4 applications, APIs, and connectors in Anypoint Studio, serving as the technical escalation point for the most difficult integration challenges

• Author API specifications (RAML/OAS) following API-first design principles, establishing the contract before implementation begins

• Develop complex DataWeave transformations for data mapping across disparate systems and formats

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (Maven, GitHub Actions) for automated MuleSoft testing and deployment

• Perform code reviews across all integration work, enforcing quality standards including MUnit test coverage, error handling, and documentation requirements

Cross-Functional Partnership & Intake Management

• Partner with Product Management and business stakeholders to manage integration intake, assess feasibility, estimate effort, and prioritize the integration backlog against capacity

• Collaborate with the Salesforce Center of Excellence on CRM integration patterns, data synchronization, and event-driven workflows between Salesforce and enterprise systems

• Work with Finance IT on integrations supporting billing, revenue recognition, and financial reporting platforms

• Partner with HR IT on people data integrations across HRIS, payroll, and workforce management systems

• Translate business requirements into integration architecture and implementation plans that stakeholders can understand and approve

Vendor Management & Platform Operations

• Own the Salesforce MuleSoft vendor relationship: license management, support escalations, platform roadmap alignment, and renewal strategy

• Monitor platform health, license utilization, and performance metrics, proactively identifying optimization opportunities

• Evaluate platform upgrades, new capabilities, and migration paths, making recommendations grounded in operational impact

• Design monitoring and alerting frameworks using Anypoint Monitoring and enterprise observability tools to ensure proactive issue detection

• Manage incident response for integration failures, ensuring rapid triage and resolution for business-critical data flows

Standards, Enablement & Team Development

• Establish a Center for Enablement approach to integration: documented patterns, reference implementations, onboarding guides, and self-service capabilities that scale integration delivery beyond a single team

• Provide technical mentorship and architectural guidance to integration developers, raising the quality and consistency of delivered work

• Build and maintain integration runbooks, operational documentation, and architectural decision records

• Define and track platform metrics: API reuse rates, deployment frequency, error rates, and time-to-production for new integrations

What You Need to Succeed

• 5+ years in enterprise integration or software engineering, with 5+ years of hands-on MuleSoft development (Mule 4 required)

• 3+ years in a lead, architect, or senior technical role where you owned integration strategy and standards, not just individual project delivery

• Deep expertise in MuleSoft Anypoint Platform: Anypoint Studio, API Manager, Exchange, Design Center, CloudHub, and Runtime Fabric

• Strong command of API-led connectivity methodology and the ability to articulate and enforce it across an organization

• Advanced DataWeave proficiency and experience with complex transformation scenarios across diverse data formats (JSON, XML, CSV, EDI, HL7)

• Demonstrated experience building CI/CD pipelines for MuleSoft deployments with automated testing (MUnit)

• Experience managing vendor relationships, including license optimization, support escalations, and platform roadmap alignment

• Strong cross-functional communication skills. Effective translating between technical architecture and business requirements with stakeholders in finance, CRM, HR, and product

• Experience operating in regulated or compliance-sensitive environments (healthcare, life sciences, or financial services)

• Track record of establishing integration governance and standards that improved quality and consistency without creating bottlenecks
