MuleSoft Integration Architect – Apex Systems Mexico

(Hybrid requirment in Guadalajara, 3 days at the office per week)

Who We Are

Apex Systems is a global technology services firm delivering data, digital, and cloud solutions that enable enterprise transformation. Through our Mexico Delivery Center (MDC), we partner with global clients to design and implement high-performing integration ecosystems that connect critical business applications and data flows.

Position Overview

We are seeking a MuleSoft Integration Architect to lead the design, development, and governance of enterprise integration solutions using MuleSoft Anypoint Platform. This role will serve as the primary integration authority — defining architecture standards, managing API lifecycle governance, and ensuring technical consistency across business domains such as ERP, financial systems, and data platforms.

The ideal candidate is a MuleSoft expert with hands-on experience architecting large-scale integration landscapes, deep understanding of API-led connectivity, and a proven ability to mentor teams while engaging directly with business and technical stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and own the integration architecture strategy using MuleSoft Anypoint Platform (CloudHub, Runtime Fabric, API Manager).
• Lead the design and delivery of scalable, secure, and reusable integration frameworks across ERP, CRM, and data systems.
• Architect and guide the conversion of legacy SSIS, ActiveBatch, or custom integrations into modern MuleSoft solutions.
• Design and enforce API-led connectivity layers (System, Process, Experience APIs) following MuleSoft best practices.
• Collaborate with business and ERP teams (Oracle ERP, SQL Server) to define integration requirements, patterns, and governance.
• Define and document integration design standards, error-handling strategies, and naming conventions for global delivery teams.
• Provide technical oversight and code reviews for development teams (both onshore and offshore).
• Lead performance tuning, scalability assessments, and root-cause analysis for integration bottlenecks.
• Partner with Enterprise Architects to align MuleSoft solutions with the overall technology strategy.
• Champion continuous improvement and automation in CI/CD, observability, and testing processes for Mule APIs.

Required Qualifications

• 8–10+ years of experience in integration architecture, including 5+ years hands-on with MuleSoft Anypoint Platform.
• Proven success designing enterprise MuleSoft solutions using Mule 4+, Anypoint Studio, and DataWeave.
• Certified as a MuleSoft Certified Integration Architect (MCIA) – required.
• Deep understanding of API-led design principles, SOA, and event-driven architectures.
• Expertise with MuleSoft components: flows, connectors, sub-flows, RAML design, DataWeave transformations, and API Management.
• Experience deploying and managing integrations on CloudHub, Runtime Fabric, or hybrid Mule environments.
• Strong experience integrating with ERP (Oracle ERP, SAP), SQL Server, and cloud data systems.
• Proficiency in CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tools (GitHub, CircleCI, Azure DevOps).
• Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and performance optimization in large-scale integration landscapes.
• English fluency (B2+/C1 level) with strong communication and documentation skills for client-facing roles.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with Snowflake, SSIS, or Informatica Cloud integrations.
• Familiarity with API security frameworks, OAuth2, and OpenID Connect.
• Knowledge of event-driven integration (Kafka, Pub/Sub) and data streaming.
• Certifications such as MuleSoft Certified Platform Architect (MCPA) or AWS/Azure Cloud Architect a strong plus.
• Experience mentoring and leading global development teams across multiple time zones.
