Job Description

Technical Leadership: Lead, mentor, and guide a team of API developers; conduct design and code reviews to ensure alignment with enterprise architecture and coding standards.

API Design & Development: Design, build, and maintain complex API proxies, shared flows, and custom policies within Apigee.

Security & Governance: Implement and enforce robust API security models, including OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), JWT, SAML, API Key validation, and Mutual TLS (mTLS).

Traffic Management & Mediation: Configure advanced Apigee policies for rate limiting, spike arrests, caching, payload transformation (JSON/XML), and fault handling.

Custom Development: Write custom logic using JavaScript, Java, or Python callouts when out-of-the-box Apigee policies do not meet complex business requirements.

CI/CD & Automation: Architect and maintain automated deployment pipelines for API proxies using tools like Maven, Jenkins, GitLab CI, and Apigee deployment plugins.

Monitoring & Troubleshooting: Monitor API traffic, analyze analytics dashboards, and troubleshoot complex production issues, latency spikes, and backend connectivity problems.

Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with backend service owners, frontend teams, cloud architects, and product managers to define API contracts (OpenAPI/Swagger) and onboarding processes.

Required Qualifications & Skills

Experience: 8 to 10 years of overall software development and systems integration experience.

Apigee Expertise: Minimum of 3 to 4 years of hands-on experience designing and implementing solutions on Apigee (Apigee Edge, Apigee X, or Apigee Hybrid).

API Architecture: Deep understanding of RESTful API design principles, Microservices architecture, and API lifecycle management.

Security Protocols: Strong hands-on knowledge of web security standards (OAuth 2.0, JWT, TLS/SSL, CORS).

Programming Languages: Proficiency in backend programming/scripting (Java, Node.js, JavaScript, or Python).

DevOps & CI/CD: Hands-on experience with version control (Git) and CI/CD automation tools for API deployment (e.g., apigeetool, apigee-maven-plugin).

Certification: Google Cloud Professional Apigee API Engineer certification.

Cloud Ecosystem: Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) networking, load balancing, and IAM.

Containerization: Basic understanding of Docker and Kubernetes (especially if dealing with Apigee Hybrid or backend microservices)
