API Platform Developer -Apigee
Role Summary: 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 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 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” scoreOperational Visibility & Monitoring: dashboards and reporting for usage, quota burn, capacity, spikes; real-time anomaly alertsAPI Pipeline Modernization simplify and standardize onto Copilot-assisted Python pipelines; guardrail-driven deployments using Artifactory. Core SkillsApigee 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 routingAPI 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).
