You'll be the bridge between business systems, customers, and trading partners while building and managing EDI, API, and application integrations. If you're a fan of seamless data flow, love a challenge, and thrive in a collaborative environment, let's talk.

Qualifications:

• 5–8 years of hands-on experience with IBM Integration Bus (IIB) and IBM App Connect Enterprise (ACE) v11/v12 middleware development (both required; Mulesoft experience welcomed as equivalent adjacent background).
• Proven experience writing and maintaining complex DFDL schemas, utilizing regular expressions, and handling multi-format messages or variable-length records.
• Proficient in using the IBM ACE Toolkit for DFDL schema generation, testing, and debugging.
• Strong understanding of ESQL, mapping nodes, XML Schema (XSD), and standard messaging protocols (MQ, HTTP, REST, SOAP).
