About Consulting at F&T Labs

If you're new to consulting, we want to help you understand what makes F&T Labs different and why our approach might be perfect for you. We know transitioning from government and non-profit to consulting can be a big step, but we've designed our work environment to blend the best of both worlds.

Unlike traditional consulting firms, we hire you for a role, not a specific project. This means you can contribute to various initiatives that match your expertise and interests. We believe in measuring what matters. While many consulting firms focus on billable hours, we care about the quality and impact of your work. Time sheets don't measure your success with us—it's measured by the meaningful solutions you help create for our clients and their communities.

We have utilization targets (consulting speak for how much of your time is spent on client work), but we view these as guideposts rather than strict rules. They help us ensure we're making a sustainable impact while maintaining a healthy business. These targets are meant to motivate, not to create stress.

One of the most dynamic aspects of consulting is its natural rhythm. Some weeks might be bustling with activity, while others might be quieter. We embrace these ebbs and flows because they create space for both intense, focused work and time for learning, reflection, and personal growth. This is part of our philosophy that work and life shouldn't be at odds—they should be integrated in a sustainable and energizing way.

At our core, we're built on a simple belief: when our team members flourish, our clients flourish, and ultimately, communities thrive. That's why we've created an environment that supports your growth, values your expertise, and understands that the best solutions come from people who feel empowered and energized by their work.

About the Role

We're seeking a Senior MuleSoft Developer who pairs deep integration expertise with a strong understanding of public health operations. You'll own integration architecture on complex implementations, coach less experienced developers, and shape how data moves between the systems that public health teams depend on every day. This role is about building integrations that fit how public health actually operates.

Your background in public health means you understand the human stakes of integration work. A delayed notification, a dropped record, or a broken data feed affects real people and real public health responses. You'll anticipate needs that clients haven't named yet, push back on designs that won't hold up in production, and advocate for the end users who rely on these systems.

You'll work on our PH360 platform and on client implementations that often involve inherited integrations built by previous vendors. You'll partner with Salesforce developers, solution architects, and QA to make integrations reliable, observable, and aligned with API-led best practices. You'll also coach client integration teams, helping them adopt sound patterns and grow their skills.

How You'll Work

You'll be part of an Agile Release Train (ART) that follows SAFe principles. This means:

• Program Increment (PI) Planning: You'll participate in quarterly planning sessions, helping shape the integration roadmap and contributing your public health perspective
• Sprint Collaboration: You'll work in two-week sprints with daily standups, regular backlog refinement, and sprint retrospectives
• Technical Leadership: You'll guide integration architecture decisions and help less experienced developers grow their skills
• Cross-functional Partnership: You'll work closely with Salesforce developers, solutions analysts, architects, and QA to ensure what we build truly serves our clients

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain MuleSoft integrations across the API-led layers (System, Process, and Experience)
• Lead integration architecture discussions and contribute to solution design alongside architects
• Audit inherited integrations and propose corrections, including restructuring APIs that sit at the wrong architectural layer
• Coach client integration teams on MuleSoft best practices, helping them move from ad-hoc patterns to sound API-led design
• Mentor junior developers through pair programming, code reviews, and direct guidance
• Write clean, well-documented, testable integration code with robust error handling, retry logic, and observability
• Identify and resolve complex integration challenges across Salesforce, notification platforms, and other connected systems
• Collaborate with Salesforce developers and QA to ensure end-to-end quality across integrated workflows
• Translate public health workflows into reliable, scalable integration patterns
• Contribute to code reviews with constructive, supportive feedback

Requirements

We require governmental public health experience because there's no substitute for the lived experience of navigating government systems, understanding the constraints public health staff face, and developing genuine empathy for the people doing this work. That empathy shapes how we build solutions.

• Deep proficiency in MuleSoft Anypoint Platform (Mule 4), including Anypoint Studio, API Manager, and Runtime Manager
• Strong DataWeave skills for complex data transformation
• Expertise in API-led connectivity and clear judgment on when an API belongs at the System, Process, or Experience layer
• Experience designing API contracts with RAML or OpenAPI Specification (OAS)
• Solid Java skills for custom connectors and advanced transformations
• Experience with REST and SOAP APIs, including OAuth 2.0, mTLS, and JWT
• Familiarity with asynchronous messaging patterns, including Anypoint MQ, queues, topics, and VM listeners
• Experience with CloudHub, Runtime Fabric, or hybrid deployments
• Proficiency in MUnit for unit testing and test coverage of integration flows
• Strong understanding of error handling, retry strategies, and observability in distributed systems
• Experience with version control (Git) and CI/CD practices for MuleSoft (Maven, Anypoint CLI, automated deployments)

• Experience integrating with Salesforce (Bulk API, Streaming API, Platform Events, Change Data Capture)
• Familiarity with HIPAA compliance requirements and PHI handling in integrations
• Experience with SAFe Agile methodology
• Background in public health data systems, including HL7, FHIR, immunization information systems (IIS), or electronic case reporting (eCR)
• Experience with notification platforms and event-driven architectures
