API Management Development and Automation: Using Apigee Edge/X, design, build, test, deploy, and manage API proxies, shared flows, products, and developer apps using CI/CD.
API Proxy and Rules Engine Development: Implement proxy flows, policies, OAuth, JWT, Spike Arrest, Quota, CORS, Cache, Message Logging, fault/exception handling, mediation, XML/JSON, and routing. Leverage JavaScript, Python, Java callouts as needed.
Development Portal Configuration: Configure and customize Apigee Developer Portal, Drupal Portal, Next-Gen Portal. Set up API products, app registration, API documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger), and self-service onboarding workflows.
IaC for Apigee Environments: Model Apigee org/envs, keystores, KVMs, target servers, and API products via Terraform/Apigee Config Management. Parameterize for multi-env promotion.
API Security: Design and implement API security including OAuth 2.0, OIDC, mTLS, JWT validation, IP whitelisting, ACL, secret management, and KMS.
Observability: Implement logging, tracing, and metrics with Apigee Analytics, Splunk, ELK, Cloud Logging/Monitoring. Define SLOs and error budgets.
CI/CD Pipelines: Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitLab CI) for linting, unit tests, integration tests, security scans, and zero-downtime deployments.
Collaboration: Collaborate with product, architecture, and backend teams to design event-driven and RESTful integrations, ensuring versioning, backward compatibility, and deprecation strategies.
API Specifications: Author and maintain API specifications (OpenAPI 3.x), standards, reusable shared flows, and best-practice templates.
Performance Engineering: Support load tests, caching strategy, throttling, capacity planning, and cost optimization.
Incident Management: Triage incidents, perform root cause analysis, and drive platform reliability and resiliency improvements.
