- Define API governance - versioning, documentation standards, and reusable auth/error-handling/observability frameworks.
- Provide technical leadership through design reviews, code reviews, and mentoring of engineers.
- Define NFRs and SLAs for availability, latency, throughput, and reliability, and ensure designs meet them.
- Partner with security and compliance to meet regulatory and audit requirements across APIs and integrations.
- Lead technical discovery for new API, integration, and AI-enablement initiatives with product and business stakeholders.
- Drive reuse and standardization through shared APIs, connectors, SDKs, and an integration catalog.
- Evaluate emerging patterns (event-driven integration, AI agent frameworks, low-code automation) to shape the platform roadmap.
Required Qualifications
Experience
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, with 5+ years in API/full-stack/backend development across multiple languages and clouds.

- Cloud-native development on AWS, Azure, or GCP, including serverless, Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code.
- Strong data skills - SQL and NoSQL database design, plus integration data formats (JSON, XML, CSV).
- Secure API design using OAuth 2.0/OIDC, mTLS, and secrets management, with solid CI/CD and Git-based workflows.
- SaaS integration experience with platforms such as NetSuite, Workday, Salesforce, or Snowflake.
- API Gateway expertise with platforms such as Kong / Apigee / AWS API Gateway / Azure APIM / MuleSoft API Gateway for routing, rate limiting, and policy enforcement.

Soft Skills
- Proven ability to lead without authority, driving technical decisions through clarity and data.
- Excellent communication skills, presenting solutions and trade-offs to technical and business stakeholders.
