Description

Define API design standards, lead scalable gateway architecture, and drive platform evolution.

This role is on-site.

Responsibilities

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

Required Skills

• Advanced proficiency in Java with experience in API 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, and quotas.
• Familiarity with service mesh, ingress controllers, or edge routing technologies and their integration with API gateways.
