What Is a Datapower Developer and How to Become One

By ZipRecruiter Marketplace Research Team

A DataPower developer uses the IBM DataPower platform to meet the technical needs of a business. As a DataPower developer, your job duties are to design, build, test, document, and implement enterprise software applications. The integration of various technical elements, hardware and software configuration, and troubleshooting are also your responsibilities. You collaborate with other developers and stakeholders to complete projects within the restrictions of scope and product specifications. You must also participate in any training and assessments that your employer may require.

The qualifications you need to become a DataPower developer are a bachelor’s degree in computer science or information technology and experience with IBM WebSphere DataPower, IBM API Connect, and XSLT and JavaScript development. Industry or product-specific certifications help demonstrate your skills and dedication to growing with the technology to potential employers. Past work experience in an Agile project environment is beneficial. If you want to advance to a senior DataPower developer job or a technical lead position, then you need at least five years of relevant experience.
