Job Summary
The API Engineer will join an enterprise API team responsible for developing, maintaining, and modernizing APIs that support internal systems and external-facing websites. The role focuses on member data APIs, API integrations, and cloud transformation initiatives, including the migration from WSO2 to Java-based microservices and modern API management solutions such as Kong. The engineer will collaborate with Agile delivery teams to implement integrations across claims and other enterprise systems, troubleshoot issues, and improve API capabilities. Experience in pharmacy benefit management (PBM) and pharmaceutical data is beneficial, particularly for understanding member data and related integrations.

• Build and enhance member data APIs, with a focus on understanding member data and its integration requirements.
• Develop and support integrations between existing systems, including claims systems such as RXClaim and Magellan, as well as JUDI and other enterprise APIs.
• Contribute to cloud transformation initiatives, including migration from WSO2 to Java-based microservices and modern API management platforms.
• Work with WSO2 API technologies and support the transition to Kong for API management.
• Develop and maintain APIs across different projects, ranging from small enhancements to large-scale integration initiatives.
• Collaborate with analysts, developers, and other technical team members in an Agile delivery environment.
