• Continuously monitor and optimize the performance, scalability, and reliability of API platforms, ensuring high availability and responsiveness.
• Work closely with developers, architects, and business analysts to integrate APIs with various internal and external systems, applications, and third-party services.
• Develop comprehensive API documentation, guidelines, and standards to ensure consistent use of API features. Promote and enforce best practices for API design and usage
• Provide support in diagnosing, troubleshooting, and resolving API-related issues, including performance bottlenecks, integration failures, and security vulnerabilities.

• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes
• Strong attention to detail, good communication skills and a team-player with a flexible mind-set
• Previous experience working with IT Partners and vendors would be beneficial

What we can offer you:
