We are looking for an experienced API Engineer to design and build a high-performance unified API platform that connects our applications to multiple external and internal services.

This is a hands-on engineering role where you will architect, implement, and optimize secure, reliable APIs that serve as the foundation of our next-generation product capabilities.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and Develop: Build a robust API layer that integrates with a variety of third-party and internal services.
  • Routing and Orchestration: Implement request routing, fallback strategies, and dynamic service selection logic.
  • Authentication & Security: Develop secure authentication and authorization mechanisms (API keys, OAuth, RBAC).
  • Rate Limiting and Quotas: Enforce per-client rate limits and usage quotas to control access and protect resources.
  • Observability: Implement logging, tracing, and monitoring of requests and responses for analytics and debugging.
  • Performance Optimization: Ensure low-latency, high-availability API endpoints, including caching strategies and load balancing.
  • Collaboration: Work closely with product and engineering teams to integrate the API platform into the broader infrastructure.
  • Documentation: Create clear API documentation, developer guides, and internal tooling for easier adoption.
  • About You:

  • Experience:
  • 3–6+ years developing production-grade APIs in Python (FastAPI), Node.js (Express), or Go.
  • Hands-on experience designing and maintaining scalable API services.
  • Experience working with enterprise API Gateway solutions (Kong, Mongo, MuleSoft, APISIX
  • Familiarity with cloud-native architecture (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
  • Technical Skills:
  • Proficiency in RESTful API design principles.
  • Strong understanding of authentication standards (OAuth 2.0, JWT).
  • Experience with rate limiting, caching (Redis), and monitoring tools.
  • Comfort integrating external APIs and designing clean abstraction layers.
  • Mindset:
  • You value clean code, clear documentation, and thoughtful testing.
  • You’re comfortable working in early-stage environments and iterating quickly.
  • You have strong communication skills and a collaborative approach.
  • Nice to Have:

  • Experience working on multi-tenant platforms or large-scale API gateways.
  • Familiarity with prompt management or workflow orchestration (not required).
  • Exposure to observability stacks (OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Prometheus)
