Integration & Eventing

Hire Integration Engineers

MuleSoft, Kafka, APIs and the spine between systems.

Integration is where enterprise programmes fail quietly. Nothing errors. The same order is simply counted twice, or a status update lands out of order and a shipment shows as delivered before it was picked. Both are discovered in a reconciliation weeks later rather than in a log the same afternoon.

That shapes the work: contracts agreed before code, idempotency treated as a requirement rather than a defensive measure, ordering guarantees stated rather than assumed, and a dead-letter path a human can actually work through. The tooling — MuleSoft, Kafka, an API gateway, a middleware somebody chose in 2016 — matters less than whether the person has had to explain a reconciliation break to finance.

What to look for when hiring

Ask what happens when the same message is delivered twice, four hundred milliseconds apart. If the answer is a uniqueness constraint and nothing else, ask what the caller sees.
