About the role

As a Senior Platform Cloud Engineer (L4) within our Professional Services Practice, you will serve as the definitive technical authority on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) API management strategy and implementation. You will own customer-facing technical workstreams end-to-end, designing enterprise-grade Apigee architectures while mentoring junior engineers to elevate collective delivery quality. Success in this role means establishing robust, secure, and automated API developer platforms that seamlessly accelerate our enterprise clients' modernization journeys. You will get to:
  • Own Technical Delivery: Lead the end-to-end technical execution of Apigee-centric workstreams with minimal oversight, serving as the primary engineering point of contact for customer technical leads.
  • Architect API Lifecycles: Design and implement comprehensive API proxy lifecycles, environment group routing structures, developer portals, and promotion pipelines across environments (Dev, Staging, Production).
  • Enforce Enterprise Security: Build and deploy advanced API security structures, implementing Web Application and API Protection (WAAP), bot detection, mutual TLS (mTLS), OAuth2/OIDC token governance, and direct integrations with enterprise IDPs (e.g., Okta, Azure AD).
  • Drive API Ops & Automation: Independently build CI/CD automation pipelines for API proxy deployment using Maven or Python Apigee plugins integrated with tools like Cloud Build, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI.
  • Accelerate Gateway Migrations: Map policy equivalence, inventory legacy proxy states, and execute migration waves to transition customers off legacy API gateways (such as MuleSoft or Kong) onto Apigee.
  • Develop Infrastructure as Code: Author, maintain, and review production-grade Terraform modules to provision Apigee X landing zones, Shared VPC networks, and Private Service Connect (PSC) configurations.
  • Mentor & Validate Team Output: Provide active technical mentorship to L2 and L3 engineers, performing thorough code reviews on proxies, shared flows, and deployment scripts to ensure absolute correctness.
  • Manage Project Scope & Risks: Proactively identify technical delivery risks and dependencies, produce defensible workstream-level estimates, and communicate technical constraints clearly to both internal and client project managers.


Be AmbITious: This opportunity is not just about what you do today but also about where you can go tomorrow. When you bring your hunger, heart, and harmony to Insight, your potential will be met with continuous opportunities to upskill, earn promotions, and elevate your career.

What were looking for:
  • Professional Experience: Minimum of 5-7 years in IT consulting or cloud engineering roles, with at least 3 years dedicated to enterprise API management.
  • Expert Apigee Proficiency: Advanced hands-on experience designing and operating Apigee X or Apigee Hybrid environments, including custom policy formulation, shared flows, and reusable security fragment architecture.
  • Practitioner DevOps Skills: Demonstrated ability to construct secure, production-grade CI/CD pipelines and manage state files, environments, and multi-team drift containment within Terraform.
  • Practitioner Migration Capabilities: Solid exposure to cloud inventory tools (e.g., CloudPhysics) and pattern identification (Rehost, Replatform, Refactor), with practical experience orchestrating multi-wave application cutovers.
  • Target GCP Certifications: Must hold a minimum of two active Google Cloud certifications, including the Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect or Professional Cloud Network Engineer. A dedicated Apigee certification or commitment to achieve it within 90 days is highly preferred.
  • Communication Fit: Excellent written and verbal consulting communication skills, with proven experience defending technical decisions and designs to enterprise client engineers.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Direct experience deploying and custom-theming Drupal-based or Apigee-native Developer Portals.
  • Hands-on knowledge of cloud-native deployment layers such as Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) or Cloud Run to serve as backend targets for API routing.
  • Experience utilizing IaC governance orchestration tooling such as Spacelift, Atlantis, or Terraform Enterprise.
