Role
What you'll do.
As a Senior Software Engineer on Mural's Integrated Workflows team, you'll design and build reliable, secure integrations that embed Mural seamlessly into customer business workflows and tools like Jira, Linear, Microsoft Teams, and Slack. You'll own critical integration platform capabilities, manage two-way synchronization with systems of record, handle content pathways, and mentor early-career engineers while maintaining a published API for third-party developers. This role demands 5+ years of production software development experience with strong expertise in third-party API integration, modern JavaScript/TypeScript, and a track record of delivering scalable systems in fast-paced environments.
Responsibilities
- Design and Build Two-Way Sync Integrations: Architect and develop bidirectional synchronization with systems of record including Jira, Linear, Asana, and other work management platforms. Ensure decisions made on the Mural canvas automatically populate as tracked work items and remain synchronized as upstream changes occur, eliminating manual data duplication and keeping team workflows current across tools.
- Develop Cross-Platform Integrations: Design, build, and maintain integrations across the Microsoft ecosystem (Teams, Outlook, Office add-ins), video conferencing platforms, and notification services (Slack, Teams). Navigate partner review processes, marketplace submissions, and complex authentication models while ensuring reliable delivery across multiple enterprise platforms.
- Build and Evolve Integration Platform: Establish shared frameworks, reusable services, and architectural patterns that enable other Mural teams to independently ship connected experiences. Document public APIs, establish integration contracts, and ensure platform capabilities scale to support expanding integration roadmaps across the organization.
- Manage Content Pathways and Data Import/Export: Own end-to-end content flow including import and image panels, third-party image APIs (Unsplash), bidirectional copy/paste functionality, file upload handling, iFrame embedding, PDF-to-Mural conversion, and exports to multiple formats. Implement secure file handling with permissions validation, malware scanning, and content validation at scale.
- Maintain Public Developer API: Support the published API for existing third-party developers with strict backwards-compatibility discipline. Manage versioning strategies, deprecation policies, and developer experience while ensuring stability and reliability for external integrations that depend on Mural's interface.
- Lead End-to-End Technical Projects: Own complex integration projects from research and design phases through proof-of-concept, execution, release, and iterative improvements. Balance competing requirements from third-party platforms, internal stakeholders, and customer needs while delivering measurable business value.
- Ensure Quality, Performance, and Security: Maintain accountability for system quality, performance, reliability, and security posture of all integrations crossing Mural's system boundaries. Design comprehensive automated testing strategies that cover expected behaviors and critical failure modes when upstream APIs misbehave, rate limit, or experience outages.
- Cross-Team Partnership and Integration Boundaries: Collaborate across teams on shared integration boundaries including render for exports, notification engine architecture, and company-level data migration initiatives. Hold up contractual obligations and ensure clean handoffs between integration platform and consumer teams.
- Mentor and Elevate Team Skills: Provide technical mentorship and support for early-career engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and technical talks. Participate in knowledge-sharing initiatives and continuously improve team processes, best practices, and engineering culture.
- Leverage AI-Driven Development Practices: Integrate AI tools into development workflows as fundamental practices. Apply AI for code generation, testing, documentation, and problem-solving while maintaining outcome-oriented focus on delivering customer value and system reliability.

ABOUT THE TEAM
The Integrated Workflows team exists to expand Mural's value by embedding it seamlessly into the essential business workflows our customers already live in. We connect Mural to the tools that teams rely on every day, from the systems of record where work gets tracked to the places conversations happen and the surfaces content moves through.
That is what integrations unlock, and it is the most interesting thing about this team. When Mural can reach the work happening everywhere else, a canvas stops being a snapshot of one meeting and becomes a live surface for how a team operates: real context pulled in, real decisions pushed back out, nobody retyping a status update or hunting for the current version. A workshop stops ending at the wall of sticky notes and starts ending in tracked, owned, moving work. That is when collaboration gets genuinely effective, and building toward it is the point of everything we do.
Underneath all of that, we build the integration platform: the shared frameworks, services, and patterns that let any team at Mural ship a connected experience without starting from scratch. Our mission: to make Mural a natural part of daily work. We measure success by how indispensable Mural becomes inside real customer workflows, not by the number of integrations we ship.
YOUR MISSION
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Integrated Workflows team, you'll own significant parts of how Mural connects to the outside world. You'll design and build integrations that are reliable, secure, and genuinely used, and you'll turn one-off connector work into integration platform capabilities the rest of the company can build on.
This role sits at the intersection of product and platform. You'll work directly against third-party APIs and SDKs with all the ambiguity that entails: shifting contracts, rate limits, auth models, partner review processes. At the same time you'll keep our own abstractions clean and our public API stable for the developers who depend on it.
Senior Engineers at Mural lead, design, and implement complex technical projects, contribute to team and company-wide processes and culture, and provide mentorship and support for early-career colleagues.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Build and evolve two-way sync with the systems of record where customer work lives (Jira, Linear, Asana, and others), so decisions made on the canvas become tracked work and stay in sync as that work changes
Design, build, and maintain integrations across the Microsoft ecosystem (Teams, Outlook, Office), video conferencing platforms, and third-party notification targets such as Slack and Teams

Lead projects end to end, from research, design, and POC through execution, release, and iteration
Build flexible and maintainable solutions while being accountable for quality, performance, reliability, and the security posture of everything crossing our system boundary
Use AI tools as part of your fundamental workflows
Design, plan, and implement automated testing and documentation strategies, including for the failure modes that only show up when someone else's API misbehaves
Elevate the team's skills and knowledge by participating in technical designs and talks, and by reviewing and helping improve your and your colleagues' code
Contribute to constantly improving the team's processes and best practices
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
Fluency in modern JavaScript/TypeScript and experience with technologies such as React, Node.js, or other modern frameworks
