The Role
We are looking for a creative and skilled Backend Engineer to own the API Federation layer of our platform. This role is focused on creating the single, unified API that our customers will use to orchestrate their entire multi-cloud network. You will be the architect of our developer experience, responsible for abstracting the immense power and complexity of our underlying services—from cloud-native APIs to software-defined interconnects—into an elegant and intuitive interface. Your mission is to build a federated API that is powerful for advanced users yet simple enough to delight developers.
Responsibilities
Federated Schema Development: Design, build, and maintain a federated GraphQL schema that composes multiple underlying microservices into a single, unified data graph for our customers.
API Gateway Management: Implement and manage our API Gateway infrastructure (e.g., Kong, Tyk), ensuring it is scalable, secure, and highly available. You will configure routing, enforce security policies, and monitor performance.
Abstraction and Orchestration: Develop backend services in Go, Python, or Node.js that act as an orchestration layer, translating simple API calls into complex workflows that interact with diverse downstream systems.
API Design and Documentation: Create and maintain world-class, public-facing API documentation. Champion API design best practices across the engineering organization to ensure consistency and ease of use.
Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with control plane and infrastructure teams to understand the capabilities and constraints of underlying services, ensuring seamless integration into the federated API layer.
Required Qualifications
3+ years of experience in backend software engineering, with a strong focus on API development and integration.
Proficiency in at least one of the following languages: Go, Python, or Node.js.
Hands-on experience building, deploying, and managing API Gateways such as Kong or Tyk.
Deep understanding of GraphQL, including schema design, resolvers, and federation concepts (e.g., Apollo Federation).
Proven experience designing, building, and consuming RESTful APIs.
Solid understanding of microservices architecture and distributed systems principles.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience building developer-facing products and a passion for creating an exceptional developer experience.
Familiarity with multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and their native API patterns.
Experience with containerization and orchestration tools like Docker and Kubernetes.
Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code practices.
A conceptual understanding of networking and cloud infrastructure.
