This is an immediate, priority requirement. Key Responsibilities 1. Architecture & Best-Practice Guidance Advise on MuleSoft Omni Gateway (Flex Gateway) architecture, sizing, and topology decisions across managed (CloudHub 2.0 / Runtime Fabric) and self-managed (Docker, Kubernetes, Linux) deployment models. Recommend Connected Mode vs. Local Mode configuration strategies based on CI/CD maturity and governance needs. Define standards and reference patterns for consistent gateway rollout across teams and environments. 2. Gateway & Proxy Setup and Configuration Install, configure, and upgrade Omni/Flex Gateway instances, including migration from earlier Flex Gateway versions. Configure API proxies for REST, SOAP, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket, and MCP/agent traffic. Set up control-plane connectivity (Anypoint API Manager / Runtime Manager), registration, and secure communication (mTLS/HTTPS) between gateway and control plane. 3.

Hands-on experience with API policies (rate limiting, SLA tiers, OAuth 2.0, JWT validation, IP allow-listing, custom policies). Solid understanding of security fundamentals – TLS/mTLS, certificate management, and secure control-plane connectivity. Experience leading or supporting MuleSoft version/gateway upgrade initiatives in a production environment. Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code practices for gateway configuration (YAML-based Local Mode, GitOps). Strong troubleshooting skills across networking, API traffic, and gateway runtime issues. Exce
