# Join Our Team as a Senior API Engineer

Our client – a Gaming giant - is looking for an experienced API Engineer to design and build a high-performance unified API platform that connects their applications to multiple external and internal services.

This is a hands-on engineering role where you will architect, implement, and optimize secure, reliable APIs that serve as the foundation of next-generation product capabilities.

The ideal candidate is a strong Python Developer highly proficient with the FastAPI framework. This is a must have for the job.

## What You’ll Do

- **Design and Develop**: Build a robust API layer that integrates with a variety of third-party and internal services. - **Routing and Orchestration**: Implement request routing, fallback strategies, and dynamic service selection logic. - **Authentication and Security**: Develop secure authentication and authorization mechanisms (API keys, OAuth, RBAC). - **Rate Limiting and Quotas**: Enforce per-client rate limits and usage quotas to control access and protect resources. - **Observability**: Implement logging, tracing, and monitoring of requests and responses for analytics and debugging. - **Performance Optimization**: Ensure low-latency, high-availability API endpoints, including caching strategies and load balancing. - **Collaboration**: Work closely with product and engineering teams to integrate the API platform into the broader infrastructure. - **Documentation**: Create clear API documentation, developer guides, and internal tooling for easier adoption.

## Your Background and Skills Will Include

### Experience - **3–6+ years** developing production-grade APIs in Python using FastAPI framework. - **Hands-on experience** designing and maintaining scalable API services. - **Experience working** with enterprise API Gateway solutions (Kong, Mongo, MuleSoft, APISIX) - **Familiarity with cloud-native architecture** (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

### Technical Skills - **Proficiency in RESTful API** design principles. - **Strong understanding** of authentication standards (OAuth 2.0, JWT). - **Experience with rate limiting**, caching (Redis), and monitoring tools. - **Comfort integrating external APIs** and designing clean abstraction layers.

### Mindset - **You value clean code**, clear documentation, and thoughtful testing. - **You’re comfortable working** in early-stage environments and iterating quickly. - **You have strong communication skills** and a collaborative approach.

## Nice to Have - **Experience working** on multi-tenant platforms or large-scale API gateways. - **Familiarity with prompt management** or workflow orchestration (not required). - **Exposure to observability stacks** (OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Prometheus)
