The mandate

You will operate the API-management layer as the delivery edge of integration: gateways under live traffic, governance that holds across hundreds of consumers, and security postures that pass regulator scrutiny. The work spans design (policy, rate-limit, transformation), operate (observability, capacity), and engage (developer portal experience). When the rest of the engine pumps intelligence outward, your layer is what every downstream consumer sees.

Responsibilities

  • Design API products with versioning, rate-limiting, transformation, and policy enforcement
  • Operate API gateways in production: capacity planning, observability, incident response
  • Establish API governance — naming, authentication patterns, deprecation, lifecycle
  • Build and maintain developer portals that internal and partner consumers actually adopt
  • Partner with security on mTLS, OAuth flows, JWT handling, and API threat protection

Requirements

  • 6+ years on enterprise API management — webMethods API Gateway, Apigee, Kong, or Azure APIM in production
  • Strong OAuth 2.0 / OIDC fluency including mTLS and partner-facing federation
  • Demonstrated experience with API governance frameworks and lifecycle management
  • Comfort owning a gateway in production: capacity, observability, incident response
  • Track record building developer portals that consumers actually use

What you'll be asked
