• Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and sales partners to bring new features to life.
• Create clear, actionable design documents so everyone’s on the same page.
• Stay ahead of the curve by identifying the best tools, platforms, and tech for solving hard problems.

• Proven experience implementing and managing API gateways, specifically Apigee, with the ability to design and enforce throttling, quotas, and authentication policies.
• Demonstrated ability to split monolithic APIs into microservices, integrate microservices into ecosystems, and deploy them using Kubernetes, including containerization and security implementation.
• Strong proficiency with Azure services and infrastructure; experience monitoring API usage and predicting scaling needs for high-traffic APIs.
• Ability to analyze and optimize API performance through database partitioning, vertical and horizontal scaling strategies, and resolving architectural bottlenecks.
• Certifications in Azure, Apigee, or related technologies, with experience scaling large-scale web applications and managing both cloud and on-prem Apigee environments.
• Background in managing Azure Kubernetes Clusters.

What would be great to have:

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field
• Experience handling client PII securely in cloud platforms like Azure, AWS, Snowflake, or Google Cloud.
