Responsibilities

  • Design and build APIs and SDKs on top of distributed platform services using Python/FastAPI
  • Define REST/async API design standards, versioning strategies, and contract testing practices
  • Develop client libraries that provide consistent, reliable access to platform services
  • Architect and maintain a gateway layer that fronts platform services and removes direct fragmented access
  • Establish orchestration and routing patterns that converge independent services into one cohesive product
  • Implement RBAC/ABAC least-privilege authorization models at the gateway level
  • Manage identity and token flows, including managed/workload identity and delegation, to keep downstream services simple
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions with a test-first delivery approach
  • Produce clear service contracts and documentation to support platform adoption
  • Integrate services across Azure and GCP, leveraging private endpoints for secure service-to-service communication
  • Implement observability practices using OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, and Grafana to ensure end-to-end visibility
  • Use metrics, traces, and logs to debug and tune performance in production environments

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in platform or software engineering, with expert-level proficiency in Python
  • Hands-on experience building APIs and SDKs on top of distributed services, including client libraries
  • Proficiency in FastAPI, REST/async design, API versioning, and contract testing
  • Expertise in designing gateway architectures, including orchestration, API integration, and consistent routing
  • Knowledge of IAM concepts including RBAC/ABAC least-privilege models, managed/workload identity, and token delegation flows
  • Hands-on experience with Azure and GCP, including private endpoints and multi-cloud service-to-service integration
  • Skills in CI/CD and automation using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions
  • Familiarity with observability tooling such as OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, and Grafana
  • Ability to translate a fragmented service landscape into one coherent, unified product
  • English proficiency at B2 level or higher
