Integration & Messaging

  • Design asynchronous and event-driven architectures using Kafka, RabbitMQ, or other messaging platforms.
  • Enable integration with internal systems, external partners, and fintech platforms.
  • Implement API gateway solutions for routing, throttling, security, and monitoring.
  • DevOps & Automation
  • Implement CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or similar tools.
  • Automate API deployment, testing, monitoring, and lifecycle management.
  • Collaborate with DevOps teams to ensure reliable and automated releases.

Networking & Infrastructure

  • Design and manage API infrastructure including DNS, load balancers, and network routing.
  • Optimize performance, scalability, and availability of API platforms.
  • Ensure high availability and disaster recovery capabilities.
  • Leadership & Collaboration
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineering teams.
  • Collaborate with enterprise architects, cloud architects, developers, and security teams.
  • Work closely with business stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions.

Required Qualifications

  • 15+ years of software engineering experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in API architecture and design.
  • Strong expertise in REST, GraphQL, and SOAP APIs.
  • Experience with OpenAPI/Swagger specifications.
  • Deep knowledge of API security protocols: OAuth2, JWT, SAML, OIDC.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms: AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
