API Platform Developer -Apigee

About the Role

Senior development engineer responsible for building and operating an automation-first API delivery platform on Apigee Edge (Non-Hybrid). Focus is on secure API proxy workloads engineering plus CI/CD modernization, self-service deployments, and governance at scale.

Responsibilities

• 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 Multi-Environment, 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.
• Self-Service 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.

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/Prometheus/Grafana; PagerDuty/ServiceNow integrations.
• Performance/resiliency patterns; SQL/NoSQL; Kafka/Kinesis/Event Hub exposure.
