Job description

Role: IBM API Connect Consultant

Location: PLANO, TX (day 1 Onsite)
Duration: Long Term

Overview

Seeking a senior API Platform Architect to lead the migration of enterprise APIs from IBM API Connect to K Gateway (Solo.io). The individual will be responsible for discovery, assessment, migration design, platform engineering, API security governance, and production rollout.

The role requires strong expertise in API Gateway technologies, Kubernetes networking, API security, and enterprise scale modernization programs.

Must Have Skills

API Gateway Platforms

Mandatory

  • IBM API Connect
  • API Gateway architecture
  • API lifecycle management
  • API security
  • API governance
  • REST APIs

Strongly Preferred

  • Solo.io K Gateway
  • Gloo Gateway
  • Kong

Kubernetes & Cloud Native

Must understand:

  • Kubernetes
  • Ingress Controllers
  • Gateway API
  • Envoy Proxy
  • Service Mesh concepts
  • Containerized workloads

The K Gateway platform is built on Kubernetes and Envoy. Knowledge of traditional API management alone will not be sufficient.

API Security

Expert knowledge of:

  • OAuth2
  • JWT
  • OIDC
  • Mutual TLS
  • API authorization
  • Rate limiting
  • Throttling
  • WAF integration

DevOps

Experience with:

  • Git
  • CI/CD
  • Terraform
  • Helm
  • Kubernetes deployment automation
  • API promotion pipelines

Modern Integration Skills

Good understanding of:

  • Kafka
  • Event driven architectures
  • Async APIs
  • Microservices

Experience Requirements

Mandatory

  • 10+ years integration experience
  • 5+ years API Gateway experience
  • 2+ large scale API Gateway migrations

Examples:

  • IBM API Connect Kong
  • IBM API Connect Apigee
  • Apigee APIM
  • DataPower API Gateway

Key Responsibilities

Discovery

  • Assess IBM API Connect configurations
  • Inventory APIs and dependencies
  • Analyze policies and routing configurations

Migration Design

  • Define future state K Gateway architecture
  • Design migration waves
  • Create rollback strategies

Re engineering

  • Reverse engineer existing gateway configurations
  • Modernize API policies
  • Simplify legacy implementations where appropriate

This reverse engineering capability is very important.

Production Rollout

  • Support cutover activities
  • Troubleshoot production issues
  • Optimize gateway performance

Nice to Have (Would Differentiate Candidates)

AI / Agent Gateway Experience

If Citizens continues down the path discussed recently, experience with:

  • MCP (Model Context Protocol)
  • AI Gateways
  • LLM Traffic Governance
  • Agentic Architecture

would be a major differentiator because Citizens is also evaluating a separate Agent Gateway platform
