  • Automation & Platform Delivery: Develop CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code using tools such as Terraform, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or Jenkins to deliver repeatable API platform and configuration changes.
  • Developer Experience: Manage API catalogs, developer portals, documentation, subscriptions, credentials, and onboarding workflows that enable secure consumer self-service.
  • Reliability & Observability: Monitor availability, traffic, latency, errors, capacity, and security events; build dashboards and alerts; troubleshoot incidents; and improve service-level objectives across both clouds.
  • Connectivity & Integration: Engineer secure connectivity to cloud, on-premises, partner, and SaaS backends using private networking, load balancing, DNS, certificates, and identity services.
  • Technical Leadership: Partner with application, security, network, platform, and architecture teams to define API contracts, review designs, document standards, mentor engineers, and drive platform adoption.


EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE
  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field; or equivalent professional experience.
  • Core Experience: 5+ years of cloud, integration, or API engineering experience, including production ownership of enterprise API gateway or management platforms.
  • Multi-Cloud Platforms: Hands-on experience with both GCP and Azure, including Apigee and Azure API Management; experience translating common governance and security requirements into platform-specific implementations.
  • API Lifecycle: Experience designing APIs with OpenAPI, publishing products and documentation, managing consumer access, and supporting versioning, deprecation, analytics, and production operations.
  • Engineering Automation: Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code and automated delivery using Terraform or equivalent tooling, source control, testing, and CI/CD platforms.
  • Modern Architecture: Experience with microservices, containers, Kubernetes, event-driven integration, private connectivity, and hybrid or multi-cloud architecture patterns.
