Job Summary

We are seeking a talented individual to join our Marsh Tech - TE2A (Enterprise Systems Engineering) team. This role will be based in Pune/Noida. This is a hybrid role that has a requirement of working at least three days a week in the office.

Senior API Engineer - Google Apigee (50% DevOps and 50% Development)

We are looking for an experienced API Management professional with strong hands-on expertise in Google Apigee (Edge/X/hybrid) to design, build, secure, and manage our API gateway platform. The ideal candidate will own the full API lifecycle - from proxy design and policy development to deployment automation, security, and performance monitoring.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and deploy API proxies in Apigee X / Apigee Edge / Apigee hybrid.
• Build and configure Apigee policies (e.g., OAuth, API Key validation, Quota, Spike Arrest, Threat Protection, Mediation, JavaScript/Java callouts, XML/JSON transformations).
• Define and implement API security best practices - OAuth 2.0, JWT, mTLS, API key management, rate limiting, and threat protection.
• Architect API products, developer portals, and monetization models within Apigee.
• Collaborate with backend/microservices teams to expose services as well-documented, versioned, and secure APIs.
• Set up CI/CD pipelines for Apigee proxy deployments (using tools like Jenkins, Maven, Apigee Deploy Maven Plugin, GitHub Actions, or Cloud Build).
• Integrate Apigee with backend systems, identity providers (Okta, Azure AD, etc.), and other GCP services (Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, Cloud Run, BigQuery).
• Monitor API performance, troubleshoot latency/error issues, and optimize proxy performance.
• Implement API analytics, logging, and monitoring using Apigee Analytics, Stackdriver/Cloud Logging, and custom dashboards.
• Ensure compliance with enterprise architecture, security, and governance standards.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, API specifications (OpenAPI/Swagger), and runbooks.
• Mentor junior developers on API design standards and Apigee best practices.

Requirements

• Bachelors Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 3-7+ years of overall API/Integration development experience, with 2+ years of hands-on Google Apigee experience (Edge and/or Apigee X/hybrid).
• Strong understanding of API Management concepts: proxies, target endpoints, shared flows, policies, fault handling, caching.
• Proficiency in RESTful API design, OpenAPI/Swagger specifications, and API versioning strategies.
• Experience with API security protocols: OAuth2.0, JWT, SAML, mTLS, API key management.
• Hands-on scripting experience in JavaScript, Java, or Python for Apigee policy callouts.
• Working knowledge of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services (IAM, Cloud Load Balancing, VPC, Cloud Run, Pub/Sub).
• Experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Cloud Build) and version control (Git).
• Familiarity with containerization/orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes/GKE) is a plus, especially for Apigee hybrid deployments.
• Understanding of API monetization, developer portal setup, and analytics/reporting.
• Strong troubleshooting and performance-tuning skills for high-throughput API environments.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work with cross-functional teams (architects, developers, security, and business stakeholders).

What makes you stand out

• Google Cloud certification (e.g., Google Cloud Certified - Professional Cloud Architect / Apigee API Engineer certification).
• Experience with hybrid/multi-cloud API management.
• Prior experience migrating APIs from legacy gateways (e.g., MuleSoft, IBM API Connect, Kong) to Apigee.
• Knowledge of microservices architecture and event-driven systems.
