What you’ll do:

• API Design and Architecture: Design APIs that align with business requirements and adhere to best practices in API design. Define API endpoints, request/response structures, and data models to ensure efficient and intuitive interactions.
• API Development: Develop high-quality APIs using modern programming languages and frameworks. Write clean, well-documented, and maintainable code that follows industry standards.
• Data Management: Implement data handling and processing logic within APIs, including data validation, transformation, and integration with databases or third-party services.
• Security and Authentication: Implement robust security measures, including authentication and authorization mechanisms, to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data exchanged through APIs.
• Versioning and Compatibility: Design API versioning strategies to ensure backward and forward compatibility as the API evolves over time. Manage deprecated features and communicate changes effectively.
• Performance Optimization: Optimize API performance for speed and scalability. Implement caching, throttling, and load balancing strategies to handle high request volumes efficiently.
• Error Handling and Logging: Implement comprehensive error handling and logging mechanisms to provide clear feedback to users and facilitate troubleshooting.
• Documentation: Create clear and comprehensive API documentation for developers, including usage instructions, code samples, and endpoint descriptions. Maintain accurate and up-to-date documentation.
• Testing and Quality Assurance: Develop and execute test cases to ensure API functionality, reliability, and security. Perform unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end testing.
• Collaboration: Collaborate with frontend and backend developers, product managers, and other stakeholders to ensure seamless integration of APIs within the software ecosystem.
• API Monitoring and Maintenance: Monitor API usage, performance, and stability. Proactively identify and address issues to maintain a high level of service availability.
