Design and implement enterprise-grade REST APIs, WebSocket connections, and Webhook patterns to enable reliable, high-throughput connectivity between Transflo systems, customers, and third-party partners.
Define and enforce API contracts, versioning strategies, and backward-compatibility policies that support long-lived integrations.
Architect resilient integration patterns including retry logic, circuit breakers, dead-letter queues, and idempotency controls.
Evaluate and select appropriate integration patterns (synchronous vs. asynchronous, request/response vs. event-driven) based on SLA requirements and partner capabilities.
Produce clear API documentation, OpenAPI specifications, and integration playbooks for both internal teams and external partners.
Build and maintain integration services using AWS API Gateway, Lambda, Step Functions, CloudFront, SQS, SNS, and EventBridge as primary building blocks.
Design event-driven architectures using AWS EventBridge to decouple services, trigger workflows, and enable real-time data propagation across the Transflo ecosystem.
Leverage AWS SQS and SNS for reliable asynchronous messaging, fan-out patterns, and cross-service communication.
Use AWS Step Functions to orchestrate multi-step integration workflows with built-in error handling, branching, and state management.
Optimize API Gateway configurations including throttling, caching, custom authorizers, usage plans, and request transformation.
Deploy and manage CloudFront distributions for low-latency API delivery and edge security enforcement.
Implement and govern modern authentication and authorization patterns including OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), HMAC signature verification, and bearer token-based access control.
Enforce zero-trust security principles at the API layer, including mTLS, IP allowlisting, secrets management via AWS Secrets Manager or Parameter Store, and least-privilege IAM policies.
Conduct and support security design reviews, threat modeling, and remediation of API-layer vulnerabilities.
Partner with the security team to maintain compliance with relevant data protection standards and partner SLA commitments.
Author and maintain Terraform modules for all integration infrastructure — API Gateway stages, Lambda functions, event buses, queues, topics, and IAM roles.
Build and manage CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps (ADO) for automated testing, deployment, and rollback of integration services.

Use AWS CloudFormation (including SAM/CDK where applicable) for stack management and resource provisioning.
Enforce infrastructure drift detection, policy-as-code guardrails, and environment promotion gates (dev to staging to production).
Champion DevSecOps practices: integrate SAST/DAST scanning, dependency auditing, and secrets detection directly into pipeline workflows.
Establish comprehensive monitoring and alerting for all integration endpoints using AWS CloudWatch (metrics, logs, alarms, dashboards) and Datadog (APM, log pipelines, SLO tracking, and anomaly detection).
Define and track Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and error budgets for integration services; drive proactive improvements based on telemetry.
Lead incident response and root-cause analysis for integration failures, capacity events, and partner-impacting issues.
Instrument Lambda functions, Step Functions, and API Gateway stages with structured logging, distributed tracing (AWS X-Ray / Datadog APM), and custom metrics.
Serve as a technical anchor for integration-focused projects, driving architectural decisions and code quality through design reviews and pull request feedback.
Collaborate cross-functionally with product, mobile, data, and platform engineering teams to align integration patterns with business requirements.
Mentor junior and mid-level engineers on cloud-native integration principles, security best practices, and DevOps culture.
Evaluate third-party iPaaS tools, API management platforms, and partner SDKs; provide build-vs-buy recommendations.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience.
7+ years of professional software or cloud engineering experience, with at least 3+ years focused on API development, cloud integrations, and AWS services.
5+ years of software engineering / development building customer facing systems
Demonstrated experience delivering production integration platforms used by external customers or third-party partners at scale.
Deep expertise designing and delivering RESTful APIs, including resource modeling, pagination, error handling, and versioning strategies.
Hands-on experience building Webhook delivery systems with retry, exponential backoff, signature verification (HMAC), and event ordering guarantees.
Proficiency with WebSocket-based real-time communication patterns for bidirectional data streaming use cases.
Experience using OpenAPI/Swagger specifications to drive contract-first API design.
Working knowledge of GraphQL as an alternative query pattern is a plus.
AWS API Gateway (REST and HTTP APIs): custom authorizers, usage plans, throttling, stage variables, and VPC Link.
AWS Lambda: function design, concurrency management, cold-start mitigation, and event source mappings.
AWS Step Functions: Standard and Express workflows, error handling, wait states, and integration with other AWS services.
AWS EventBridge: event bus design, routing rules, schema registry, and cross-account event patterns.
AWS SQS: standard and FIFO queues, dead-letter queues, message visibility, and large-payload patterns.
AWS SNS: topic-based publish/subscribe, message filtering, and fan-out to SQS/Lambda.
AWS CloudFront: distribution configuration, origin access controls, cache policies, and WAF integration.
Git-based branching strategies (GitFlow, trunk-based development) and pull request workflows.
Proficiency with AWS CloudWatch for centralized logging, metric-based alerting, and operational dashboards.
Hands-on experience with Datadog: APM instrumentation, log management pipelines, monitors, SLOs, and dashboard creation.
Experience with distributed tracing (AWS X-Ray, OpenTelemetry, or Datadog APM) in serverless and microservices environments.
Experience in the transportation, logistics, or fleet management industry — familiarity with telematics, ELD/HOS data, or freight document workflows is a strong plus.
AWS Certified Developer, Solutions Architect, or Advanced Networking certification.
Experience with AWS CDK (TypeScript or Python) for infrastructure as code.
Knowledge of service mesh patterns (AWS App Mesh, Istio) and container-based workloads (ECS, EKS) in addition to serverless.
Familiarity with API governance platforms (e.g., Apigee, Kong, AWS API Gateway developer portal) for API lifecycle management.
Customer-first, delivery oriented mindset: Values delivery over theory; biased towards action.
Integration mindset: Thinks holistically about connectivity — considers partner constraints, failure modes, and retry semantics before writing a line of code.
Security-first: Treats authentication, authorization, and data protection as first-class requirements, not afterthoughts.
AI Powered delivery: Highly experienced with modern AI enabled IDE’s, multi-agent AI coding workflows
Operational ownership: Monitors what they ship; defines alerts, runbooks, and SLOs before declaring a service production-ready.
Infrastructure discipline: Manages cloud resources as versioned, reviewed code — never clicks through the console for anything that should be reproducible.
Clear communicator: Able to document integration contracts precisely for both internal engineering teams and external partner developers.
Collaborative leader: Elevates teammates through review, partnering, and mentorship; brings a solutions-oriented perspective to cross-team challenges.
Continuous learner: Tracks the AWS service roadmap and emerging API standards; proactively proposes improvements before they become reactive needs.
