Position: Senior Workato Developer / Integration Architect

Experience: 6-10 Years (Minimum 3+ Years of Workato Experience)

Role Type: Technical Lead / Individual Contributor

Role Overview: We are seeking an experienced Senior Workato Developer / Integration Architect who can independently lead integration initiatives from business requirements gathering through solution architecture, development, testing, and production deployment.

The ideal candidate will combine strong hands-on Workato development expertise with architectural thinking, business stakeholder engagement, and the ability to translate complex business requirements into scalable, secure, and maintainable integration solutions.

Key Responsibilities

1. Business Requirements & Solution Consulting

• Engage directly with business stakeholders, application owners, and functional teams to understand integration requirements and business processes.

• Lead requirement discovery sessions, identify integration touchpoints, and translate business needs into functional and technical specifications.

• Prepare and review Business Requirement Documents (BRDs), data mapping documents, and integration specifications. • Evaluate technical feasibility, identify dependencies, and recommend appropriate integration approaches.

2. Solution Architecture & Technical Design

• Own end-to-end integration architecture and solution design using Workato.

• Develop High-Level Design (HLD) and Technical Design Documents (TDDs), including data flows, orchestration patterns, and exception handling.

• Define integration patterns involving APIs, webhooks, event-driven workflows, scheduled jobs, and batch processing.

• Ensure solutions follow enterprise architecture principles, security standards, scalability, and reusability.

• Drive technical design reviews and obtain stakeholder approvals before implementation.

3. Workato Development & Implementation

• Design, develop, and optimize complex Workato recipes, callable recipes, API endpoints, and reusable integration components.

• Build integrations across enterprise applications such as Salesforce, Workday, SAP, NetSuite, ServiceNow, and other SaaS/on-premise systems.

• Develop custom connectors using Workato Connector SDK and REST/SOAP APIs when required.

• Implement data transformations, validations, lookup tables, and complex business logic.

• Establish robust error handling, retry mechanisms, monitoring, and alerting frameworks.

• Lead unit testing, integration testing, UAT support, and production deployments.

4. Technical Leadership & Delivery Ownership

• Independently own integration deliverables from requirements through production stabilization.

• Provide technical guidance, conduct code reviews, and mentor junior developers.

• Collaborate with project managers, architects, and business teams to manage priorities, dependencies, and delivery commitments.

• Troubleshoot complex integration issues and drive root cause analysis.

• Ensure documentation, knowledge transfer, and operational handover are completed.

Required Technical Skills

• Strong hands-on experience in Workato recipe development, orchestration, and integration architecture.

• Experience designing enterprise integrations using REST APIs, SOAP services, JSON, XML, webhooks, and OAuth 2.0.

• Proficiency in data mapping, transformation, error handling, and integration troubleshooting.

• Experience with Workato Connector SDK, custom connectors, API Platform, and reusable recipes.

• Strong understanding of enterprise integration patterns, asynchronous processing, and event-driven architectures.

• Experience integrating CRM, ERP, HRMS, and ITSM applications.

• Familiarity with CI/CD practices, environment management, version control, and deployment processes.

• Ability to create architecture diagrams, technical specifications, and implementation documentation.

Required Functional & Leadership Skills

• Demonstrated experience independently conducting business requirement discussions and technical discovery workshops.

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate business needs into practical integration solutions.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

• Ability to present technical designs and architectural recommendations to business and technical audiences.

• Strong ownership, problem-solving skills, and ability to manage multiple integration initiatives.

Preferred Qualifications

• Workato Automation Pro certifications (Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3).

• Experience with Workato Embedded, API Management, or Agentic AI/MCP integrations.

• Prior experience working in a consulting or client-facing delivery environment.

• Knowledge of enterprise architecture frameworks and integration governance best practices.

Key Expectations

The successful candidate should be capable of operating as a hands-on Integration Architect, independently driving business requirement discussions, owning architectural decisions, and delivering high-quality Workato solutions without relying on a separate solution architect for day-to-day technical design.

The role requires approximately equal emphasis on solution architecture, stakeholder engagement, and hands-on development, with end-to-end accountability for integration delivery.
