We are looking for a Senior webMethods Developer & Administrator with 8+ years of experience to design, develop, and administer enterprise integration solutions. The candidate will own end-to-end delivery across webMethods Integration Server, API Gateway, and Universal Messaging, while also managing Kubernetes-based deployments and CI/CD pipelines for middleware components.
Key Responsibilities
Design, develop, and support integrations using webMethods Integration Server (flow services, Java services, adapters).
Configure and administer webMethods API Gateway: policy enforcement, security (OAuth2/JWT/API keys), throttling, versioning, and API lifecycle management.
Install, configure, and manage Universal Messaging (UM): topics/queues, ACLs, clustering, persistence, and failover.
Deploy, monitor, and troubleshoot webMethods components on Kubernetes (Helm charts, StatefulSets, ConfigMaps, Secrets, pod scaling).
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins / GitLab / Azure DevOps) for automated build, test, and deployment of integration assets.
Diagnose and resolve performance, connectivity, and clustering issues (e.g., Terracotta Server Array, Apache Ignite topology/split-brain scenarios).
Implement and support integration patterns: pub-sub, request-reply, event-driven architecture (EDA), and ESB-based flows.
Manage database interactions including stored procedures, data transformations, and troubleshooting data inconsistencies.
Set up monitoring and observability using tools such as Application Insights, ELK, or Grafana; lead root-cause analysis (RCA) for incidents.
Collaborate with architects, business analysts, and downstream application teams to map and validate integration requirements.
Mentor junior developers and contribute to defining coding standards, best practices, and reusable integration frameworks.
Maintain technical documentation, deployment runbooks, and support SOPs.
Required Skills & Experience
8+ years of overall integration/middleware experience, with 5+ years hands-on in webMethods (Integration Server, API Gateway, Universal Messaging).
Strong understanding of REST/SOAP web services, JSON/XML, and messaging protocols.
Working knowledge of Kubernetes: deployments, services, networking, and troubleshooting containerized workloads.
Experience with CI/CD tools and scripting (YAML, Shell, Python, or similar).
Proficiency in SQL, stored procedures, and data engineering/transformation tasks.
Solid understanding of clustering and high-availability concepts (Terracotta, load balancers, shared databases).
Strong analytical, debugging, and root-cause analysis skills.
Good communication skills with ability to explain technical concepts to cross-functional teams.
Good to Have
Software AG webMethods certification.
Exposure to cloud platforms (Azure / AWS / GCP).
