Tech Lead Consultant | Architect - MuleSoft

Our Why

Datacom works with organisations and communities across Australia and New Zealand to make a difference in people’s lives and help organisations use the power of tech to innovate and grow.

About the Role

As a MuleSoft Technical Lead Consultant / Architect, you will be the primary authority and face of Datacom’s MuleSoft capability for key customer engagements. You’ll lead discovery workshops, architecture definition, and solution direction, while also providing hands‑on technical leadership and people leadership within delivery teams. This role is for a Senior Integration Leader — someone customers can trust, who teams will follow, and projects can rely on.

This is a hybrid role that brings together:

• Consulting & technical pre‑sales
• Enterprise integration architecture
• MuleSoft leadership
• Java & Spring Boot engineering expertise
• Account and client relationship ownership

If you enjoy owning outcomes end‑to‑end — from first conversation through to solution delivery and team leadership — this role is for you!

What You’ll Do

Client Leadership & Consulting

• Act as the primary MuleSoft consultant and architect for assigned customer accounts.
• Lead discovery workshops to understand business goals, integration challenges, and technical constraints.
• Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders and act as a long‑term integration advisor.
• Support account teams with technical pre‑sales, solution shaping, and proposal input.

Architecture & Solution Design

• Design enterprise‑scale MuleSoft architectures aligned to API‑led connectivity principles.
• Define integration strategies covering system, process, and experience APIs.
• Design modern integrations spanning MuleSoft, Java‑based services, cloud platforms, and hybrid environments.
• Ensure solutions meet security, scalability, performance, and governance requirements.

MuleSoft Technical Leadership

• Provide hands‑on technical leadership across MuleSoft implementations.
• Set technical direction, integration standards, and best practices.
• Review designs and code to ensure quality, maintainability, and architectural integrity.
• Lead complex integration deliveries and guide teams through challenges.

Java & Spring Boot Engineering

• Design and build supporting microservices, custom connectors, or backend services where required.
• Bridge traditional application development with modern integration platforms.

People & Practice Leadership

• Lead, mentor, and coach MuleSoft and integration engineers.
• Support capability uplift within the team through knowledge sharing and technical guidance.
• Contribute to Datacom’s integration practice standards, accelerators, and reusable assets.

Broader Integration & Cloud Exposure

• Apply experience across other integration technologies where helpful, including:
• Azure Integration Services
• AWS integration patterns and services
• Messaging, event‑driven architectures, and hybrid integrations

• While MuleSoft is core, broader integration experience is highly beneficial and encouraged.
