Job Area

Information Technology Group, Information Technology Group > IT Engineering

General Summary

This position is not eligible for Qualcomm immigration sponsorship.

Lead the technical direction and hands-on delivery of enterprise integration modernization across Boomi and Kafka on AWS. As Integration Platform Lead Developer, you will translate business requirements into secure, resilient integration architectures, build critical components, and establish reusable engineering standards adopted across teams. This senior technical individual contributor role extends beyond independent implementation to enterprise architecture influence, cross-team delivery leadership, and development of engineering capability.

It is an engineering-led role with production accountability, not a dedicated production-support position. Deep hands-on expertise in both Boomi and Kafka is essential.

Key Responsibilities

Set Boomi and Kafka technical direction across multiple large projects. Align architecture and acceptance criteria with business needs and validate delivered solutions.

Remain hands-on in designing, developing, reviewing, testing, and deploying complex API-based, application-to-application, file-based, B2B, and event-driven integrations; deliver reference implementations for the most demanding patterns.

Establish reusable Boomi components, mappings, API contracts, error-handling and recovery patterns, and runtime engineering standards; guide performance optimization and safe deployment practices.

Lead Kafka engineering on Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK), covering topic and partition strategy, producer and consumer behavior, delivery semantics, Kafka Connect, schema evolution, access controls, capacity, cross-cluster replication, and recovery validation.

Define engineering quality gates and reusable automation for testing, performance validation, deployment, configuration, rollback, and operational readiness; reduce manual effort through scripting and AWS-based tooling.

Lead technical delivery across projects: coordinate resources and work allocation, review designs and code, mentor engineers, and manage priorities and deadlines. Resolve cross-team dependencies and adjust scope with business partners.

Define and review service KPIs, SLA/SLO performance, actionable observability, runbooks, and recovery procedures with service owners. Lead complex Tier-3 troubleshooting, connect availability and performance trends to customer impact, and drive prioritized root-cause corrective actions into engineering backlogs.

Work independently within agreed authority, owning technical decisions affecting delivery, reliability, resources, and cost. Resolve ambiguous problems through analysis and innovation; recommend solutions to senior leadership and escalate material risks.

Shape modernization roadmaps through capacity forecasts, cost-of-ownership comparisons, risk analysis, industry trends, and vendor input. Develop prototype environments with business partners, evaluate alternatives, and recommend investments to IT and business leadership. Maintain architecture decisions and engineering documentation.
