• Experience developing cloud-native distributed systems and working with enterprise integration platforms (MuleSoft, TIBCO, or similar)
• Strong understanding of API design (REST, OpenAPI), data transformation patterns, and resiliency strategies
• Strong communication skills with the ability to lead technical discussions with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Desired skills:

• Experience with additional languages: C# / .NET, Java, Rust or Go
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) and familiarity with DevOps / DevSecOps practices
• Experience with observability tools (logging, tracing, monitoring)
