Description

You will define and enforce API design standards, lead the architecture of scalable API gateway solutions, and drive platform evolution. You own the implementation of gateway functionalities, automation workflows, and comprehensive observability strategies.

Responsibilities

• Define and enforce API design standards, including RESTful principles, versioning, error handling, and backward compatibility.
• Lead the architecture and implementation of scalable, secure, and observable API gateway solutions for high-throughput services.
• Implement and optimize gateway functionalities such as routing, transformation, traffic management, authentication, and policy enforcement.
• Develop automation scripts and operational workflows using Python to improve platform reliability and efficiency.
• Ensure comprehensive observability through metrics, logs, traces, alerting, and SLO-driven monitoring while mentoring engineering teams.

Required Skills

• Advanced proficiency in Java with experience in API, gateway, or service-oriented architectures.
• Deep expertise in API design: RESTful APIs, versioning, backward compatibility, and error-handling patterns.
• Strong experience with security protocols such as OAuth2, OpenID Connect, JWT, mTLS, and API key management.
• Strong Python skills for automation, tooling, and operational workflows.
• Extensive experience with designing and implementing automated API testing (functional, integration, regression, performance).
• Expertise in observability and telemetry, including metrics, logs, traces, alerting, and SLO-driven monitoring.
• Hands-on experience with Git, code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code practices.
• Proven ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex issues in high-throughput, distributed systems.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with enterprise-grade API gateway platforms such as Apigee, Kong, Azure API Management, or AWS API Gateway.
• Practical experience defining and enforcing traffic management and security policies like rate limiting, throttling, quotas, and request/response transformations.
• Familiarity with service mesh, ingress controllers, or edge routing technologies and their integration with API gateways.
