Boomi Developer Salary Guide 2026

Last updated: November 9, 2026

By Robert Ardell, Co-Founder and Strategic Advisor, KORE1

Boomi developers in the United States earn about $78,000 to $167,000 in base salary in 2026, with lead roles above that, and published averages for experienced developers sit between $119,739 and $129,348. Where one hire lands inside that range depends far more on the estate they will carry than on how long they have used the platform.

Last spring a Boomi developer in the Dallas area had three offers arrive within eleven days of each other. She had five years on the platform, had spent two of them owning a three-node Molecule, and had onboarded about forty retail trading partners on X12 herself. A regional hospital system in Fort Worth offered her $118,000, a third-party logistics company in Irving with sixty-some trading partners and a peak season that starts in August offered $141,000, and a software company in Plano that wanted someone to stand up Boomi’s new agent tooling offered $152,000 plus a small equity grant. Same person, same resume, and the offers were $34,000 apart.

She took the logistics job. When I asked her about it later, she said the hospital had priced her experience while the logistics company had priced its own estate, and the estate was work she already knew how to run. I come back to that spread whenever a client asks what a Boomi developer costs, because the market is mostly paying for the integrations a person will be responsible for and a lot less for the person.

I should say where I sit before getting into numbers. KORE1 recruits for these roles through our Boomi developer staffing desk and earns a fee when a company hires someone we introduced, so a higher band does us no harm, which is why every figure below links to its source. If you need the search process, our guide to hiring a Boomi developer covers scoping and screening, and if the platform is still undecided, the integration engineer salary guide prices the role without a vendor attached. This guide is about pay. If the next job is the interview itself, see how to interview a Boomi developer scenario by scenario.

Boomi Developer Salary by Source

A Boomi developer builds and runs integrations on the Boomi Enterprise Platform, designing processes in AtomSphere, mapping data between systems like NetSuite, Salesforce, and SAP, and deploying them to an Atom, Atom Cloud, or Molecule runtime. Pay follows what those integrations carry, how many partners sit on the other end, and who answers when they fail.

Two commercial trackers publish three figures for the title, and they mostly agree with each other, which happens less often than you’d expect for a platform-specific job.

Sources: Salary.com Boomi Developer (as of November 1, 2026), ZipRecruiter Dell Boomi Developer and ZipRecruiter Boomi Integration Developer (both read November 9, 2026), and BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025, retrieved through the BLS public data API.

The width of the Salary.com row is worth a look before you rely on it. Its 10th percentile is $106,532 and its 90th is $147,192, a spread of $40,660, while the BLS spread across the same percentiles for computer systems analysts is $100,370. A range that narrow probably describes the typical job posting more than the people who apply to it, and real offers land well outside it at both ends.

The ZipRecruiter Boomi Integration Developer page has a different quirk. On the morning I read it, it matched ZipRecruiter’s MuleSoft Developer page to the dollar on the average, the hourly rate, all three percentiles, and the Los Angeles figure. ZipRecruiter doesn’t explain how it builds either estimate, so I can’t tell you why, but it does mean that page can’t be used to compare the two platforms.

There is no federal wage line for the role. BLS has no Boomi code and no integration developer code, so the work gets counted under computer systems analysts or under software developers, depending on who filled out the employer survey. A low-code process builder looks like the first group, and a senior who writes Groovy, sizes JVM heaps, and runs a cluster looks more like the second. The $30,130 gap between those two medians is close to what one level step costs on our own table.

Boomi Developer Salary by Level

These are the same bands we published in the hiring guide, and they still hold against this month’s data.

Base salary, United States, before any metro adjustment. The bands are KORE1’s working read of the trackers above set against offers we’ve seen accepted, not a separate survey, and the line between one row and the next is my own judgment.

I’d trust the experience column least of the four. A developer with seven years who has only built on Atom Cloud for one internal team is a mid-level hire whatever the resume says, and a developer with three years who has been the only person running a Molecule through a retail peak is already doing senior work, so the level follows the estate rather than the calendar.

Several things move an offer within a row, and they don’t all move it by the same amount.

• EDI moves it the most. A developer who has onboarded live trading partners on X12 850s, 856s, and 810s over AS2, and chased the 997 that never came back, competes for integration jobs that pay above EDI analyst rates, which is why our EDI analyst salary guide treats the Boomi and MuleSoft row as the one where budgets go wrong.
• A Local Atom or a Molecule brings certificate rotation, host patching, heap sizing, and calls at 3am, and the offer should pay for that either in base or through a written on-call stipend.
• The systems on the other end matter too, whether that’s NetSuite through SuiteTalk, SAP through IDocs, Workday, or Salesforce, because ERP fluency on top of Boomi is a narrow overlap. The NetSuite developer salary guide shows what that side of the market pays on its own.
• Groovy or JavaScript scripting helps in the roughly one third of estates we see that use it.
• Agent governance, meaning Agentstudio and Boomi Connect, is new enough that nobody has deep experience, so people who ran API management well tend to get paid for that background instead.

Certification barely registers. The Professional Integration Developer credential is a real signal, but Boomi’s training path is free and widely completed, and I haven’t seen it move an offer by more than a few thousand dollars. A production estate the candidate can describe in detail moves it much further. The Boomi developer job description guide shows where a credential belongs in the posting, which is under preferred, not required.

Boomi vs MuleSoft Developer Salary

It’s close to a draw on base pay. Glassdoor puts MuleSoft developers at an average of $121,813 from 628 reported salaries, with the 25th to 75th percentile running $103,666 to $144,330. Salary.com has Boomi developers at $127,671. Depending on which pair of trackers you line up, either platform can look a few thousand dollars ahead.

The difference that does show up is in the employer. MuleSoft, which Salesforce owns, turns up more in large enterprises with big Anypoint estates and in-house Java teams. Boomi lives more in the mid-market, usually next to an ERP, often at a company with one or two integration people total. When MuleSoft offers come in higher, the higher number usually belongs to a bigger company, and it would be just as high for a Boomi seat at that company.

Moving between the two isn’t free. A Boomi developer going to MuleSoft has to pick up DataWeave, Anypoint Studio, and a lot more code, and that takes longer than the ramp going the other direction. If you are still choosing a platform, our MuleSoft developer staffing desk sees that pool and prices it separately.

Boomi Developer Salary by Metro

BLS doesn’t publish Boomi wages by city, so the table below uses metro medians for computer systems analysts, the occupation most Boomi work gets filed under. Treat the dollar figures as the market for the broader pool and the order as the useful part.

Source: BLS OEWS metropolitan area data, May 2025, SOC 15-1211, retrieved through the BLS public data API. Los Angeles includes Orange County, and Dallas includes Fort Worth, Plano, and Irving.

San Jose is out on its own. Below it, the other nineteen metros fit inside $30,970, which is roughly what it costs to move from junior to mid on the level table, so a level mistake costs you about as much as hiring in the wrong city. Denver surprised me. It sits at $127,880, within a few hundred dollars of New York, and Austin comes in $17,930 under Dallas despite the reputation. Chicago and Phoenix both land below the national median of $105,850.

The Boomi-specific trackers run higher than these medians, which is what you’d expect from a platform title. Salary.com has Boomi developers in New York State at $135,727 and ZipRecruiter has Dell Boomi developers in Los Angeles at $139,374. Most Boomi work can be done remotely, and good candidates know it. A developer in Columbus is weighing your offer against one from a company in Denver, not against the Columbus median.

Bonus, On-Call, and Total Pay

Mostly base. The trackers above report base or annualized pay, and in the offers we see, Boomi developers outside software companies rarely get equity and usually get modest bonuses. The pager is the part companies forget to price. If a developer is going to own a Molecule, decide in writing whether that work is paid in base or through a stipend, because candidates who have carried one will ask, and a vague answer reads as a no.

Boomi Developer Contract Rates

Plenty of Boomi work has an end date. A migration from a legacy integration tool, an ERP cutover, a wave of new trading partners after a big retail contract. That’s contract work, and carrying it as permanent headcount afterward is expensive.

Start with pay. ZipRecruiter’s Boomi titles work out to $57.57 an hour for the integration developer series and $62.19 for the Dell Boomi developer title, which is what lands on a contractor’s W-2, not what a client pays. The client pays a bill rate, which also covers payroll taxes, insurance, and the staffing firm.

The KORE1 Contract Rate Index doesn’t carry a Boomi-only cell. Boomi contractors bill in the same family as ERP, NetSuite, and Salesforce consultants, mapped to SOC 15-1211, so that is the family below.

Source: KORE1 Contract Rate Index, 2026-Q4, effective October 16, 2026. Modeled rows use BLS OEWS May 2025 wages for SOC 15-1211 plus a 24 percent employer burden; the observed row covers 15 KORE1 placements started from 2023 to 2026 across several states. How the index is built.

Boomi contractors with EDI depth or runtime ownership almost always price in the senior row, and the $57.57 pay rate alone comes to about $71.39 an hour once a 24 percent burden goes on top, before any margin. Budget from the senior row if the scope says trading partners. The city version of these numbers is on our IT contractor rates by metro page. When the work has an end date, contract staffing keeps the cost tied to the project, and when the integration layer needs a permanent owner, direct hire is the cleaner route.

Before the Offer Letter Goes Out

So what does a mid-level Boomi developer actually cost in 2026?

$102,000 to $135,000 in base salary for a developer who owns processes on a shared runtime without anyone reviewing it, and a level more if the seat includes EDI trading partners or a Molecule, with the metro adjustment after that.

Boomi or MuleSoft, which one pays more?

On base pay it is close to even, with Salary.com putting Boomi developers at $127,671 and Glassdoor putting MuleSoft developers at $121,813. The higher MuleSoft offers people mention usually come from larger enterprises, which pay more for every integration seat regardless of platform.

Does EDI experience really move the number that much?

It usually moves a developer up a full level, because someone who has onboarded live trading partners on X12 over AS2 gets priced against integration engineers rather than EDI analysts. On our table that is the gap between the mid and senior rows, often $25,000 or more, and it is largest in distribution, logistics, and retail supply, where a failed 856 turns into chargebacks within days.

Is a Boomi certification worth paying extra for?

Not by much, since the training is free and widely completed and offers rarely move more than a few thousand dollars for a credential. A production estate the candidate can walk you through in detail is worth far more.

Can we pay a remote Boomi developer on our local scale?

You can, but expect to lose some finalists, because strong Boomi developers are often interviewing with companies in two or three metros at the same time. Set the band by level first and then check it against the best-paying market your finalists can realistically choose from.

What should we expect to pay a contract Boomi developer by the hour?

Expect a bill rate of about $84 to $106 an hour for mid-level to senior work nationally, against a contractor pay rate of roughly $57 to $62. Bay Area and Seattle seats run higher, and a developer with EDI or Molecule ownership belongs in the senior row from the start.

Write the Estate Into the Offer

Since 2005 we have placed technical people in more than 30 U.S. metros, and 92 percent of them are still in the same seat a year later. Most of that comes from making sure the job someone accepted is the job they actually walk into, and on a Boomi search that usually starts with the runtime, the trading partner count, and the on-call question. If your Boomi req has a band that doesn’t match the estate behind it, talk to an integration recruiter about the number and we’ll tell you which row we’d put it in.
