Job description

Role Summary: Senior development engineer responsible for building and operating an automation-first API delivery platform on Apigee Edge (NonHybrid). Focus is on secure API proxy workloads engineering plus CI/CD modernization, self-service deployments, and governance at scale using API Management APIs, Node.js, Grunt, and scripting.

• Apigee API workflow Engineering: design and standardize API proxies development at scale, policies, shared flows, and reusable bundles.
• API Management APIs & Deployment Mechanisms (Core): automate API proxy Lifecycle using import/deploy/undeploy/redeploy, revision governance, promotion across environments, and rollback patterns via management APIs.
• Parallel MultiEnvironment, Multi Plant Releases orchestrate controlled, concurrent deployments with safe sequencing and environment-specific configuration injection.
• Lifecycle Governance: multi-version management, drift detection, compliance validation (policy baselines OpenAPI alignment), and lifecycle analytics.
• Release Safety Controls: one-click rollback, revision freeze/locks, guardrails to prevent unintended changes.
• SelfService Enablement: automated request/approval/deploy workflows and deployment failure analysis.
• Automated Tollgates: Implement automated CI/CD tollgates that validate API policy compliance, security controls, OpenAPI/spec integrity, dependency health, and configuration drift, producing auditable pass/fail evidence and a quantified release readiness score
• Operational Visibility & Monitoring: dashboards and reporting for usage, quota burn, capacity, spikes; real-time anomaly alerts
• API Pipeline Modernization simplify and standardize onto Copilot-assisted Python pipelines; guardrail-driven deployments using Artifactory.

Core Skills

• Apigee Edge: Design and build Apigee proxies, shared flows, and policies (including JavaScript/Java callouts), and troubleshoot runtime issues such as latency, quota enforcement, caching behavior, and routing
• API Management APIs: deployment automation, revision strategy, promotion/rollback, deployment state interrogation, auditability.
• Automation Engineering: Node.js, Grunt, Python/PowerShell scripting, Git-based release workflows.
• CI/CD: gated promotions, approvals, artifact versioning, automated rollback, compliance enforcement.
• API Design: OpenAPI/Swagger, contract validation, schema/version governance.
• Security: OAuth2/JWT, mTLS/cert lifecycle, HTTPS fundamentals.
• Observability: logs/metrics/analytics, alerting integrations; performance tuning mindset.
• Foundations: Linux CLI networking basics (TCP/IP, DNS, LB, firewalls).

Nice to Have

• Apigee and/or Google Cloud certifications
• Drift analyzer/compliance reporting experience
• Elastic/Splunk/PrometheGrafana; PagerDuty/ServiceNow integrations
• Performance/resiliency patterns; SQL/NoSQL; Kafka/Kinesis/Event Hub exposure

Work Model

• Agile delivery with partial overlaps with US time zones for reviews, incidents, and iterative releases.
