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” 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 .

Core 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
