MuleSoft (Integration Platforms)
Also written as MuleSoft, Mule ESB, Mule 4, Anypoint Platform, ESB, Enterprise Service Bus, Apache Camel, Dell Boomi, Boomi, TIBCO, webMethods, iPaaS
Platforms for connecting a company's many systems (CRM, ERP, core banking, databases and SaaS apps) so data flows between them without custom code for every pair. MuleSoft, owned by Salesforce, is widely used; Boomi, TIBCO, IBM webMethods and the open-source Apache Camel are alternatives. Older setups call this an ESB (enterprise service bus).
Think of it like
A telephone exchange for company software: every system plugs into one switchboard instead of running a wire to every other system.
Junior or senior?
A separate career track with its own certifications, such as MuleSoft Certified Developer.
Junior sounds like
Builds flows from someone else's design.
Senior sounds like
Designs the API layers, handles errors and retries across systems, and has migrated an older ESB.
Ask them
“Which systems did your integrations connect, and how did you handle a message that failed halfway between two of them?”
