  • Security and Compliance: Implement security best practices for API management, including authentication, authorization, and data protection. Ensure all API practices align with regulatory standards and industry best practices.
  • Collaboration with Cross-Functional Teams: Partner with DevOps, cloud, and development teams to design and implement integrated API solutions that facilitate seamless data flow and application interoperability.
  • Monitoring and Optimization: Develop monitoring solutions for API performance and availability, troubleshooting issues as they arise to minimize disruption and ensure high-quality user experiences.

  • API Lifecycle Management: In-depth understanding of API design, development, and maintenance, including experience with RESTful services, SOAP, containers, Kubernetes, and microservices architecture.
  • Security Practices: Strong knowledge of API security protocols, including OAuth, OpenID Connect, and token-based authentication.
  • Performance Monitoring: Familiarity with API monitoring tools and techniques to maintain performance and reliability.
  • Automation and Scripting: Skills in scripting and automation (e.g., Python, Bash, GitHub Actions) to streamline API management tasks.

Qualifications

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Experience: Minimum of 5+ years in API management and cloud engineering, with a proven track record in API lifecycle management and AWS API tools.
