Senior MuleSoft Engineer

At Green Irony, we exist to turn AI into Actual Intelligence—accelerating outcomes and proving that complexity is optional. We hire people who automate first, ask permission never, and treat ownership as a default setting. There are no project managers here. You scope it, you own it, you ship it. If that sounds like freedom rather than a red flag, welcome home.

The labor market is sorting fast. The engineers who thrive in the next decade won't be the ones who avoided AI—they'll be the ones who got inside it early and never looked back. GI is where you stay ahead of that curve. We run our own company on Claude and Notion—the same AI-underpinned stack our clients hire us to build for them—and we put every engineer inside it from day one.

As a Senior MuleSoft Engineer, you will design and deliver API-led integration solutions on Anypoint Platform—directly with clients, from discovery through go-live. You'll drive architecture decisions, protect margin through scope discipline, and build trusted client relationships that turn one engagement into many. You'll do it as part of a small, senior, all-US team that competes on real craft, not headcount.

(technical owner of your engagements, not a resource on a ticket queue)

• Client Delivery Ownership: Lead integration programs end-to-end for external clients—discovery and estimation through SOW shaping, stakeholder alignment, delivery KPIs (on-time, on-budget, CSAT).
• Stakeholder Management (exec → dev): Translate architecture trade-offs to executives, earn trust with engineering teams, keep both sides aligned.
• Scope Discipline: Anticipate risk early, communicate trade-offs, protect margin through change-order discipline without damaging the relationship.
• Autonomous Execution: Own your calendar, estimates, commitments. No one will chase you for updates. You surface risks before they surface you.

Technical Delivery — Lead technical design, implementation, deployment of large-scale MuleSoft integration/API solutions (CloudHub 2.0, Runtime Fabric, Anypoint MQ, Flex Gateway, or on-prem); develop/maintain DataWeave, Mule flows, CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins); enforce architecture/security standards (RAML/OAS, OAuth2, JWT, TLS, encryption); monitor/optimize for performance, scalability, maintainability.

Client-Facing Services Delivery — Lead discovery, shape estimates, contribute to SOW development (you are the technical voice in the room); own delivery KPIs (on-time ≥90%, estimate variance ≤±15%, CSAT that earns repeat business); proactively communicate status/risks/decisions; build trusted relationships; call scope creep with a path forward.

Leadership & Collaboration — Coach/guide engineers, lead code reviews and process improvements; operate as a peer not a manager.

Innovation & AI — This Is Why Engineers Come Here:

• AI as Your Default Toolchain: The frontier isn't something you read about at GI—it's the baseline. Reach for AI-enabled IDE, LLM assistants, AI-powered static analysis first, because better tools produce better outcomes. You don't write code you can automate reviewing.
• Integration Workflows, Augmented: Prototype and deploy AI/LLM services inside integration solutions (summarization, document parsing, intelligent transformation, synthetic test data). You'll step into a delivery environment where AI already underpins our internal processes—the tools are live, not theoretical. Advance automation with AI-assisted code review and LLM-based dev platforms.

Ways of Working — The best engineers here don't wait to be told what to do next. Owning your engagements end-to-end isn't just a process fact—it's what accelerates your career faster than any structured-org ladder ever could. Set direction, track your own commitments, communicate proactively, no layer between you and the client. WIP ≤2 concurrent workstreams. If you've always been three steps ahead of your own deadlines, you'll feel right at home.

• Consulting Services Experience (3–5+ years delivering integration programs for external clients—discovery/estimation, SOWs, stakeholders exec-to-dev, delivery KPIs; non-negotiable; internal IT delivery doesn't substitute)
• Client-Facing Ownership (full engagement lifecycle incl. difficult scope/change-order conversations)
• API & Microservices Architecture (expert, API-led with MuleSoft)
• MuleSoft Platform Mastery (Anypoint, DataWeave 2.x, CloudHub 2.0, Runtime Fabric, Flex Gateway, Anypoint MQ)
• Autonomous Execution (self-govern in flat, PM-free consulting; if you've only worked in highly structured orgs, be honest with yourself)
• AI/LLM Tools & Automation (you seek them out—Cursor, LLM assistants, AI static analysis—daily rotation not LinkedIn bio)
• DevOps/CI-CD (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Docker/Kubernetes, cloud-native)
• Security & Integration Standards (RAML/OAS, OAuth2, JWT, TLS, encryption)
• Programming (Java, Node.js, refactor legacy to clean/maintainable)
• MuleSoft Certs (Developer L1 required; Architect/Integration Professional preferred)

Preferred/Bonus: Salesforce/AWS/SaaS/ERP integration; event-driven architectures (Kafka, Pub/Sub); AI/ML pipeline design interest.

The engineers who stay sharp aren't avoiding AI—they're the ones inside it. At GI, that's not an aspiration; it's the job description. Full ownership of engagements. Measurable business value, not ticket throughput. Complex problems solved practically. Direct, transparent communication. Continuous growth through mentoring, learning, and automation—because the only thing better than building great integrations is building them faster and smarter every time.
