About the Role
We're expanding our Integration Practice and seeking a hands‑on IBM webMethods Integration Consultant to design and deliver robust integrations across hybrid environments (on‑prem, cloud, and SaaS). You will lead customer workshops, shape solution designs, and drive build/automation with AI‑assisted practices (e.g., code generation, mapping acceleration, test automation). Ideal for a consultant who can translate business needs into governed, secure, observable integrations—and communicate clearly with stakeholders at every level.
Responsibilities
Own customer communication: run discovery/design workshops; author design specs, sequence diagrams, data contracts; manage expectations and risk.
Design hybrid integration using IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration (IS, API Gateway, UM, TN, ) with governance, security, and observability built in.
Accelerate delivery with AI: apply AI co‑pilots/agents to speed service scaffolding, mapping, test generation, and runbooks—without compromising controls.
Automate build & release: establish CI/CD, automated testing, environment configuration, and blue/green or canary cutovers.
Harden operations: implement performance tuning, resiliency patterns, and standardized logging/monitoring dashboards for APIs/B2B/IS.
Lead client workshops and produce artefacts (solution outlines, interface specs, mapping rules, security controls, test plans).
Design & develop services in webMethods (Flow/Java services, REST/SOAP APIs, TN/B2B, messaging via UM; event‑driven patterns).
Configure and govern API Gateway policies (authN/Z, rate limiting, threat protection), publish to developer portals, manage API lifecycle.
Implement data contracts and schema governance across JSON/XML/EDI/IDoc and MFT/FTP flows.
Stand up and maintain environments (install/upgrade/patch; clustering; SSL/TLS/certificates; health checks).
Drive automation: CI/CD (Git, pipelines), infra as code where applicable, automated regression/perf tests, and observability with actionable SLIs/SLOs.
Champion AI‑enabled practices (agentic authoring, automated mapping, anomaly detection) with appropriate governance and MLOps‑aligned pipelines.
Produce clear status and runbooks, and present progress/risk to business and technical stakeholders.
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in CS/Engineering (or equivalent experience).
Relevant vendor credentials (e.g., webMethods certifications; API Security).
Participation in IBM/webMethods partner academies is a plus.
Required Skills
3–5+ years in integration, including 3+ years on webMethods (IS, UM, TN, API Gateway, ).
Strong solution design for hybrid patterns: APIs, events/pub‑sub, B2B/EDI, batch/MFT; performance tuning and error‑handling strategies.
Demonstrable customer‑facing communication: workshops, playback sessions, design decisions/rationale, risk/RAID management (e.g., FBD engagement insights).
Security & governance: OAuth2/OIDC, mTLS, certificate lifecycle, secrets management, policy‑driven API governance.
Automation mindset: Git‑based workflows, CI/CD, automated testing (functional/regression/perf), release strategies (blue/green, canary).
Data formats & mapping: JSON, XML/XSD, EDI, IDoc; mapping/transformation best practices.
Cloud & networking fundamentals for hybrid connectivity (private links, firewalls, load balancers, HA/DR).
Preferred Skills
Exposure to IBM Integration portfolio adjacent services and partner ecosystem events (TechXchange/User Groups).
Experience migrating from legacy/MuleSoft to webMethods, parallel‑run strategies, rollback readiness.
Familiarity with AI in integration: GenAI co‑pilots, agent frameworks for integration authoring/ops; anomaly detection on integration telemetry.
Dashboarding/observability for business‑friendly API/B2B/IS views.
