  • Define and enforce API standards, security and governance (OAuth, JWT, Key Vault, RBAC).
  • Design microservices and event‑driven architectures for high availability and scalability.
  • Lead modernization of legacy APIs and integration with third‑party and internal systems.
  • Create technical blueprints, data flow diagrams, and deployment models for cloud‑native APIs.
  • Guide and mentor development teams in building RESTful APIs, microservices, and integration layers.
  • Oversee code reviews, enforce best practices and ensure code quality and security compliance.
  • Implement CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, automate testing, and monitor API health.
  • Optimize API performance, reliability and cost efficiency in Azure environments.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Management

  • Work closely with product owners, business analysts and cross‑functional teams to align API solutions with business goals.
  • Present architectural recommendations and technical decisions to leadership and stakeholders.
  • Facilitate knowledge sharing and technical upskilling within the team.

Quality, Security & Governance

  • Ensure solutions meet global security compliance and privacy requirements (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).
  • Implement monitoring, logging and observability using Azure Application Insights and related tools.
  • Support UAT, production deployments and post‑go‑live support.

Required Skills & Experience

  • Proven experience architecting and delivering enterprise APIs with .NET Core and Azure.
  • Deep expertise in Azure PaaS services (App Service, Functions, API Management, Logic Apps, Service Bus, Cosmos DB, Blob Storage, Key Vault).
  • Strong background in microservices, event‑driven design and cloud‑native development.
  • Hands‑on experience with CI/CD, automated testing, and code quality tools (Azure DevOps, Git, SonarQube, Veracode).
  • Proficiency in SQL Server, Entity Framework, and modern ORM frameworks.
  • Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and mentoring skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering or related field.
  • 8 years in software development architecture with 3 years in Azure cloud/API solutions.
  • Experience in global product rollouts and multi‑region deployments.
  • Azure Architect or related certifications are a plus.

Project‑Specific Expectations

  • Ability to work in a multi‑vendor, multi‑region environment.
  • Experience with legacy modernization, cloud migration and integration with external APIs.
  • Familiarity with DevSecOps, automated testing and performance tuning for APIs.
