But enough about us. Let’s talk about you.

As an Integration Architect at Horizontal Digital, you will design, govern, and implement enterprise integration solutions that connect Salesforce clouds, ERP systems, and third‑party platforms. The Integration Architect is a critical role for the team and will lead the architecture of our integration practice. Deep, hands‑on expertise in the Mule Soft Anypoint Platform is a mandatory requirement for this role.

We’re looking for an integration technology expert who is comfortable leading as a player/coach. In this role you will manage developer resources and work side‑by‑side with project teams as an active participant defining requirements, shaping API‑led connectivity solutions, and taking a hands‑on approach to implementation and quality assurance. You will work across multiple projects with a diverse team consisting of a mix of integration engineers, Salesforce architects, digital strategists, project managers, and the UX/creative team.

Your goal is to manage a team to produce great work, expand our technical capabilities, and help clients meet digital transformation objectives.

What you’ll do:

• Architect and govern end‑to‑end Mule Soft Anypoint Platform solutions, defining Experience, Process, and System API layers following API‑led connectivity principles
• Design and implement integrations connecting Salesforce Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Health Cloud, Financial Services Cloud, and Marketing Cloud with ERP, data warehouse, and third‑party platforms

• Specify and publish standards around APIs, Data Weave transformations, error handling, and retry policies on Anypoint Exchange
• Collaborate with Salesforce architects on Platform Events, Change Data Capture, and Salesforce Data Cloud pipeline strategies
• Be actively involved in pre‑sales activities, effort estimation, and solution design for client‑facing engagements
• Define the enterprise integration strategy and target‑state architecture, choosing the right pattern for each use case (API‑led, event‑driven, streaming, batch/ETL, file‑based) rather than defaulting to a single tool
• Design event‑driven architectures using message brokers such as Anypoint MQ, Kafka, Azure Service Bus or AWS SNS/SQS/Event Bridge, covering ordering, idempotency, replay and dead‑letter handling
• Own the API lifecycle end to end, including design‑first practices, versioning and deprecation, API catalogue management, Anypoint API Governance conformance and reuse through…
