About the role
- We value thoughtful innovation, secure engineering, shared ownership, and continuous learning.
Responsibilities
- Own the design and implementation of DISP Orchestration APIs using the Backend-for-Frontend pattern to support new web and mobile experiences.
- Build and evolve RESTful APIs and integration services using.NET Core, Azure Functions, and cloud-native Azure services.
- Design integration layers that decouple digital channels from core systems, allowing front-end teams to move independently without over-coupling to backend constraints.
- Design secure, token-based API interactions using JWT, OAuth/OIDC patterns, managed identity, Key Vault, private endpoints, and least-privilege access controls.
- Implement resilience patterns (e.g., retries, idempotency, asynchronous workflows, messaging, caching).
- Create API designs that align to UX needs, frontend state requirements, error handling, performance expectations, and member experience outcomes rather than simply exposing backend system structures.
- Design and maintain integration flows where writes may trigger downstream workflows, audits, status tracking, reconciliation, and eventual consistency across systems.
- Implement caching and read-model strategies using Redis, materialized views or projections, or equivalent patterns to improve performance and reduce load on legacy platforms.
- Lead the resolution of complex production issues across API, identity, and system boundaries
Requirements
- 10+ years of software engineering experience with 6+ years of focused experience in APIs, integration engineering, backend platform engineering, or service-oriented application development.
- Experience with API gateways, Azure API Management, Tyk, F5/WAF patterns, throttling, rate limiting, and centralized API policy enforcement.
- Experience leading technical delivery and outcomes across complex, multi-year initiatives under ambiguity, time pressure, and cross-team dependency constraints
- Ability to make architecture-aware trade-offs across speed, quality, coupling, security, resilience, auditability, cost, and long-term maintainability.
- Experience with CI/CD, automated testing, environment promotion, release management, code review, secure development practices, and production change controls.
- Demonstrated experience designing enterprise integration layers that decouple digital channels from core systems.
- Proven experience implementing Backend-for-Frontend, orchestration, proxy, abstraction, or anti-corruption-layer patterns at scale.
Compensation
- The actual base salary offered to the successful candidate may vary based on multiple factors including, but not limited to, individual's expertise and level of experience applicable to the role they are being offered.
