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.

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.

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.
