Project Manager – Middleware / Integration Development

Company: Giniminds Solutions Pvt. Ltd.

Location: Bengaluru | WFO

Experience: 10+Years

Role Overview:
We are looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead delivery of middleware and integration development projects involving platforms such as webMethods, API integration, enterprise application integration, and related technologies. The role will be responsible for end-to-end delivery, stakeholder management, governance, risk management, and coordination across development, QA, infrastructure, security, and business teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end delivery of middleware/integration development projects, from requirements and solutioning through development, testing, deployment, and production stabilization.
• Manage projects involving webMethods, APIs, ESB, application integration, messaging, file-based integrations, and enterprise middleware platforms.
• Own project planning, scope, schedule, resource allocation, dependencies, milestones, and delivery commitments.
• Coordinate with application, middleware, database, infrastructure, security, QA, DevOps, and business teams to ensure seamless delivery.
• Drive requirements analysis, solution discussions, technical design reviews, development, SIT/UAT, release and deployment activities.
• Track project risks, issues, dependencies, changes, and escalations and ensure timely resolution.
• Establish project governance, including status reporting, RAID tracking, MoM, action tracking, steering committee updates, and executive reporting.
• Manage customer and stakeholder expectations and act as the primary delivery point of contact.
• Work with technical leads and architects on solutioning, estimation, effort planning, technology adoption, and technical feasibility.
• Support preparation of proposals, RFP/RFI responses, SoWs, estimates, project plans, and delivery models.
• Monitor project financials, resource utilization, budget, forecast, and commercial commitments.
• Ensure adherence to organizational processes, SDLC, quality standards, security requirements, and change/release management processes.
• Identify opportunities for automation, process improvement, modernization, and platform optimization.
• Lead production releases, hypercare, stabilization, and transition to support/operations.
• Mentor project team members and promote effective collaboration and delivery discipline.

Required Technical Understanding

The candidate should have working knowledge of:

• webMethods / Middleware / ESB
• Enterprise Application Integration (EAI)
• REST/SOAP APIs and API integration
• Database and application integration
• Microservices and integration architecture
• CI/CD and DevOps concepts
• Cloud and hybrid integration environments
• SDLC, Agile/Scrum and ITIL processes
• Application deployment and production support processes

Note: The PM does not necessarily need to be a hands-on webMethods developer, but should be technically strong enough to understand architecture, dependencies, estimates, delivery risks, technical discussions, and integration issues.

Experience & Skills

• 10+ years of IT experience with 5+ years in project/delivery management.
• Experience managing middleware, integration, application development, or enterprise platform projects.
• Experience working with enterprise customers and multiple technology teams.
• Strong communication, presentation, negotiation and stakeholder-management skills.
• Strong experience in project governance, risk management, planning and reporting.
• Experience managing distributed teams and multiple concurrent workstreams.
• PMP / Agile / Scrum certification would be an advantage.

Preferred Profile

Project Manager + Technical Delivery + Integration/Middleware

This positioning would be stronger than simply saying “Project Manager – webMethods”, because it allows the candidate to manage projects involving webMethods as well as other middleware/integration technologies.
