What you'll do
- Convert existing MuleSoft applications (Mule XML + DataWeave) into Spring Boot / plain-Java services deployed to AWS Lambda or Fargate.
- Design generic, configuration-driven services where multiple integrations can share one codebase.
- Own the end-to-end slice: build, deploy (Docker / ECR), wire up Secrets Manager, S3, SNS/SQS, EventBridge, CloudWatch.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), automated build, test, container image publish, multi-environment deploys (dev/qa/uat/prod), approvals, rollbacks.
- Automate the migration itself — repeatable scaffolds/templates for new Lambdas and services, shared common libraries, code generators where they pay off, smoke-test harnesses, drift checks.
- Codify infrastructure with Terraform / AWS CDK / SAM (IaC for Lambda, Fargate task definitions, IAM, EventBridge, SNS/SQS, S3, KMS, Secrets Manager).
- Use AI coding assistants effectively — drive Copilot / Claude Code / Cursor to accelerate boilerplate, DataWeave-to-Java translation, test generation, and code review; recognise when not to trust the output, and shape prompts/agents so the team gets consistent quality.
- Improve developer experience — local-run harnesses, scripted env bootstrapping, pre-commit hooks, lint/format gates, faster builds.
- Mentor other developers, run code reviews, and document the patterns we standardise on.
- Partner with the D365, Workday, and platform teams to nail down contracts (REST, file-based, event-based).
- Champion clean code, sensible test coverage, and pragmatic trade-offs (we prefer minor code duplication over premature abstractions).
Must have
- 5+ years of professional Java development; deep comfort with modern Java (17/21), collections, streams, concurrency, HTTP clients, JSON (Jackson).
- Strong Spring Boot and REST API design experience — request/response contracts, validation, error handling, versioning.
- Hands-on AWS experience: Lambda, Fargate/ECS, S3, Secrets Manager, IAM, CloudWatch, EventBridge, SNS/SQS.
- Strong CI/CD background — GitHub Actions (or GitLab CI / Jenkins), Docker, multi-env promotion, secrets handling in pipelines, automated rollbacks.
- Working knowledge of Infrastructure as Code — Terraform, AWS CDK, SAM, or CloudFormation.
- Demonstrable, daily use of AI coding assistants (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Cody, or similar) on real work — able to talk through what they do well, where they fail, and how you guard against bad output.
- Comfortable reading MuleSoft flows and DataWeave — or confident you can ramp up quickly on them.
- Solid grasp of software design: SOLID, layered architecture, testability, idempotency, observability.
- Strong Git workflow, code review etiquette, and clear written communication.
Nice to have
- Prior experience migrating MuleSoft (or similar iPaaS — Boomi, webMethods, Tibco) to plain Java/Spring Boot.
- Experience with Dynamics 365 (FO) OData / Data Management APIs.
- Familiarity with Kafka, GraphQL, OAuth2 / Azure AD.
- Exposure to front-end work (React, Angular, or similar) — enough to debug an end-to-end issue and make small UI changes.
- Working knowledge of Python or Node.js, or a clear track record of picking up new languages quickly. Some of our adjacent services are written in Python and we expect occasional cross-language work.
- Hands-on experience building custom prompts, agents, or MCP servers / Copilot extensions to automate team workflows.
- Experience with observability tooling — Datadog, New Relic, OpenTelemetry, structured logging, alerting on SLOs.
- Familiarity with OpenAPI / JSON Schema, MapStruct, JUnit 5 / Mockito, Testcontainers.
- Background in financial / ERP integrations (GL journals, payments, reconciliation).
How you work
- Pragmatic over dogmatic: you reach for the simplest thing that solves the problem.
- Automate the second time you do anything: manual steps are tech debt; you replace them with scripts, pipelines, or templates.
- AI-fluent, not AI-dependent: you use Copilot / Claude / Cursor to move faster, but you read every diff, write the tests, and own the result.
- Curious across the stack: happy to dip into Python, Node.js, IaC, or a bit of front-end when the work calls for it.
- Outcomes-driven: you measure your work by what runs reliably in production, not lines of code shipped.
- Collaborative: comfortable asking questions, challenging requirements, and explaining trade-offs to non-engineers.
