This is a hands-on engineering role where you will architect, implement, and optimize secure, reliable APIs that serve as the foundation of our next-generation product capabilities.
Key Responsibilities:
Design and Develop: Build a robust API layer that integrates with a variety of third-party and internal services.Routing and Orchestration: Implement request routing, fallback strategies, and dynamic service selection logic.Authentication & Security: Develop secure authentication and authorization mechanisms (API keys, OAuth, RBAC).Rate Limiting and Quotas: Enforce per-client rate limits and usage quotas to control access and protect resources.Observability: Implement logging, tracing, and monitoring of requests and responses for analytics and debugging.Performance Optimization: Ensure low-latency, high-availability API endpoints, including caching strategies and load balancing.Collaboration: Work closely with product and engineering teams to integrate the API platform into the broader infrastructure.Documentation: Create clear API documentation, developer guides, and internal tooling for easier adoption.About You:
Experience:3–6+ years developing production-grade APIs in Python (FastAPI), Node.js (Express), or Go.Hands-on experience designing and maintaining scalable API services.Experience working with enterprise API Gateway solutions (Kong, Mongo, MuleSoft, APISIXFamiliarity with cloud-native architecture (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
Technical Skills:Proficiency in RESTful API design principles.Strong understanding of authentication standards (OAuth 2.0, JWT).Experience with rate limiting, caching (Redis), and monitoring tools.Comfort integrating external APIs and designing clean abstraction layers.
Mindset:You value clean code, clear documentation, and thoughtful testing.You’re comfortable working in early-stage environments and iterating quickly.You have strong communication skills and a collaborative approach.
Nice to Have:
Experience working on multi-tenant platforms or large-scale API gateways.Familiarity with prompt management or workflow orchestration (not required).Exposure to observability stacks (OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Prometheus)
