Mulesoft Developer

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide production support and operations for MuleSoft integrations and APIs running on Mule Runtime 4.9 in a hybrid environment (on-premise Windows servers with Anypoint Platform control plane).
• Assist in planning and executing MuleSoft runtime upgrades across environments (Dev, QA, UAT, Production), following established procedures to minimize risk and downtime.
• Perform Java version upgrades for Mule runtimes and help validate compatibility with existing integrations and dependencies.
• Support the maintenance and administration of on-premise Windows servers hosting Mule runtimes, including patching, configuration, and general server health and performance monitoring.
• Assist in identifying and remediating security vulnerabilities across MuleSoft applications, runtimes, and underlying servers in line with organizational security and compliance standards.
• Support certificate lifecycle management (SSL/TLS) including tracking expirations, renewals, and installation to help prevent service disruptions.
• Perform post-patching and post-upgrade validation, including health checks and smoke testing, to help confirm servers and applications are stable and fully operational.
• Participate in the triage, troubleshooting, and resolution of production incidents, assisting with root cause analysis and implementation of fixes to prevent recurrence.
• Monitor MuleSoft applications and server infrastructure using logging/monitoring tools to help identify and address issues before they impact production.
• Support and enhance existing MuleSoft integrations, APIs, and batch/large payload processing flows as part of ongoing maintenance and operational readiness.
• Develop DataWeave transformations for data mapping, and build custom Java classes/components to extend MuleSoft functionality where out-of-the-box connectors and components are insufficient.
• Follow MuleSoft development and coding standards (naming conventions, error handling, logging, project structure, reusability) to ensure consistency and maintainability across integrations.
• Use MuleSoft Vibes (formerly MuleSoft Dev Agent) to help accelerate flow generation, DataWeave scripting, and MUnit test creation, reviewing all AI-assisted output for compliance with coding and governance standards.
• Document operational runbooks, patching procedures, upgrade steps, and incident postmortems according to organizational standards.
• Collaborate with DevOps, infrastructure, and security teams to support maintenance windows, patch cycles, and change management activities.
• Participate in code reviews and knowledge-sharing sessions to build MuleSoft skills and support team best practices.
