  • Hands‑on expertise in Azure DevOps Pipelines and Azure Functions for automation, deployment, and integration scenarios.
  • Strong understanding of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles and their application in cloud environments.
  • Communication: Ability to clearly explain technical concepts to developers, collaborate across teams, and provide guidance on improving API design and implementation practices.
  • Tech Stack: Good working knowledge of REST APIs, JSON, and scripting languages such as JavaScript, Python, PowerShell, and Node.js to extend and customize API behavior.
  • Kubernetes / AKS: Familiarity with Kubernetes and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for containerized application deployment and management is an added advantage.
  • Advanced API Security & API Hub: Knowledge of advanced API security concepts, API governance, and API Hub capabilities is considered a plus.

Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for API designs, configurations, shared flows, and operational procedures.

Collaborate closely with product owners, architects, other developers, and QA teams to deliver high-quality, scalable API solutions.
