BIZTALK DEVELOPER JOB DESCRIPTION

Enterprise middleware integration is not glamorous. But when an EDI/X12 transaction fails to translate, or an orchestration drops a message between a billing system and a downstream database, the downstream consequences are real and immediate. The Biztalk Developer is the professional who prevents that failure by owning the design, development, and operational support of server-based integration solutions across enterprise application landscapes. Few roles demand equal fluency in requirements analysis, pipeline architecture, and cross-functional stakeholder communication.

As the Biztalk Developer, you will design and deploy integration solutions that connect enterprise business systems, translating complex requirements into reliable, maintainable orchestrations and batch processes. You will work across functional business units and technical teams, contributing to architecture decisions, quality standards, and the ongoing stability of production integration environments.

Career Impact: Mastery of enterprise service bus architecture and point-to-point integration patterns positions a Biztalk Developer as a sought-after specialist in a market where organizations running legacy middleware stacks consistently struggle to find qualified talent.

Business Impact: When orchestrations, pipelines, and message routing work as designed, downstream systems receive accurate data on time - failures in this layer cascade into billing errors, compliance gaps, and stalled business processes that affect end users directly.

Growth Opportunity: Experience administering and developing on BizTalk Server opens a credible path toward Integration Architect or senior platform engineering roles, particularly as organizations migrate these environments toward cloud-based messaging and API management platforms.

• Design and develop enterprise integration solutions including orchestrations, pipelines, schemas, and message routing components that meet documented requirements.
• Implement and deploy BizTalk Server applications across development, QA, and production environments to ensure stable, continuous operation.
• Gather and translate business and technical requirements from functional stakeholders into detailed integration design specifications.
• Build and execute unit, integration, and regression test plans against system and validation requirements to confirm solution correctness.
• Troubleshoot and optimize integration applications and batch processes, resolving defects and improving throughput under production conditions.
• Review and validate integration components developed by peers, enforcing coding standards and quality guidelines across the team.
• Maintain technical documentation for all integration modifications, supporting ongoing operability and knowledge transfer.
• Collaborate with architects, vendors, and cross-functional teams to assess requirements, estimate effort, and align solutions to enterprise architecture standards.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
• 3 or more years of BizTalk Server development experience, with demonstrated ownership of orchestrations, pipelines, and adapter configuration.
• Strong working knowledge of object-oriented design principles and enterprise integration patterns, applied within multi-system environments.
• Proven ability to write complex relational database queries, stored procedures, and user-defined functions in a production SQL environment.
• Experience developing and maintaining web services using SOAP and REST standards within an enterprise application context.
• Solid understanding of XML-based data exchange formats including XSD schema design, XSLT transformation, and EDI/X12 message structures.
• Demonstrated ability to work within structured software development methodologies, including Agile and waterfall delivery frameworks.
• Strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to convey technical findings clearly to both technical peers and non-technical business stakeholders.

• Experience administering BizTalk Server environments including host configuration, message box management, and deployment framework tooling.
• Familiarity with service-oriented architecture concepts including ESB design, EAI patterns, and point-to-point integration governance.
• Experience with source control systems and continuous integration pipelines in a multi-developer team environment.
• Background supporting 24x7 mission-critical integration platforms, including on-call incident response and production troubleshooting under time pressure.

• Defect rate per deployment, measuring integration reliability across development and QA validation cycles.
• Mean time to resolution for production integration failures, reflecting operational responsiveness under incident conditions.
• Test coverage percentage across orchestrations and pipeline components, measured against documented validation requirements.
• On-time delivery rate for project work packages, tracking estimation accuracy and schedule adherence across engagements.
• Documentation completeness score, assessed against team standards for every modified or newly deployed integration component.
• Typical tools: Integration server platform (commonly BizTalk Server 2016 or 2020); source control (commonly Team Foundation Server or Git); database engine (commonly SQL Server 2016 or 2019).

• Base Salary Range: $95,000 to $130,000 per year, depending on experience and location.
• Bonus: Annual performance bonus, typically 5 to 10 percent of base salary.
• Equity: Not standard for this role at most employers; offered selectively at mid-size technology firms.
• Health Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision coverage; employer contribution rates vary by organization.
• PTO: 15 to 20 days per year, plus standard federal holidays.
• Common Perks: Remote or hybrid flexibility, professional development budget, and access to Microsoft certification programs.
