API Developer (Node.js / Lambda)

API / Developer - Role Overview 

We are seeking an engineer for a portal consolidation project. This project will replace several existing portals with a single, modern access management platform. This role focuses on migrating functionality from legacy portals, modernizing user and administrator experiences, and enabling seamless API-driven IAM workflows.

• Deploy and configure APIs on gateways and developer portals  
• Troubleshoot and resolve API issues using a variety of tools including simulators and log analysis 
• Perform integration and data transformation between middleware layers, orchestration engines, and IAM platforms. 
• Work closely with IAM engineers, application teams, and other stakeholders across brands and regions. 
• Support phased global rollout activities across multiple time zones. 

Required Skills & Experience 

• Strong experience developing AWS Lambda functions using Node.js
• Strong experience with API management and understanding of REST. 
• Experience with provisioning interfaces such as SCIM, LDAP. 
• Comfort navigating and working across multiple cloud environments (Azure, AWS, SaaS) 
• Hands-on experience integrating RESTful APIs and working with API gateways. 
• Experience testing APIs with tools such as Postman, cURL or similar. 
• Knowledge of SDLC and automated deployments 
• Ability to work effectively with globally distributed teams. 

Nice-to-Have Skills 

• Experience with enterprise-scale IAM projects​​​​​​ using platforms such as IBM Security, Ping, or similar. 
• Experience with automated build / deployments - preferably with GitLab 
• Prior experience working with IBM ISAM/Verify APIs.  
• Working understanding of IAM concepts such as identity lifecycle, provisioning, and access requests. 
• Experience with Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tools 
• Understanding of secrets management (vaulting, rotating, and securely accessing secrets and keys)
