You Are: Senior Azure API Developer/Technical Lead

The Work:

In this role, you will lead the hands-on development of Azure-native API components for the client. That includes custom API Management policies, .NET Core and C# services, and serverless Azure Functions, and you will guide other developers on the team. You will design and build new APIs for emerging business needs using an API-led approach, building on existing reusable assets and frameworks. You will also keep the client's production APIs running and give day-to-day support to the business users and application teams who depend on them. A large part of the work is building and maintaining Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, using PowerShell and automation to move releases through each environment, including production, in a repeatable and validated way. You will write and review REST API designs and technical designs against the client's standards and Azure best practices. You will also take part in testing by creating and running test cases, supporting integration and user acceptance testing, and resolving defects. Performance tuning and improving shared services for logging, error handling, monitoring, and security are regular tasks as well. When problems come up, you will triage API and configuration issues, work with the platform administrators, and open tickets with Microsoft support when needed. You will also work with the product owner and architects on the backlog, document design decisions, and keep templates and knowledge-base content current. Where approved, you will use AI-assisted tools such as GitHub Copilot to improve code quality, documentation, and security scanning.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Direct the hands-on development of Azure-native API components, including custom APIM policies, .NET Core/C# services, and serverless Azure Functions, and guide the developers on the team
  • Design and build new APIs on the Azure platform for new business use cases, using an API-led approach (System, Process, and Experience APIs) and favoring existing reusable assets and frameworks
  • Maintain and enhance the client's existing production APIs, and give day-to-day help to business users and application teams who rely on them
  • Build and maintain Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, using PowerShell and automation to move releases through upper environments, including production, with validated, repeatable deployments
  • Write and review REST API designs and technical designs
  • Make sure they meet functional and non-functional requirements, follow the client's API development standards, and apply Azure best practices
  • Plan and support testing: create and run test cases, support integration and user acceptance testing, run unit tests, and fix defects found during the test cycle
  • Tune the performance of APIs and applications, and improve shared services for logging, error handling, monitoring, authentication, authorization, and auditing
  • Triage and resolve API-related issues and configuration problems found during code migration
  • Coordinate with the platform administrators and with Microsoft support on outages
  • Work with the product owner and architects to shape the development backlog, document design details, and keep API templates, guidance, and knowledge-base content current
  • Use approved AI-assisted tools such as GitHub Copilot to improve code quality, documentation, and security scanning

Here’s What You Need:

  • At least five (5) years of API design and development experience
  • Three (3) years in Azure integration technologies
  • Proficient in Azure DevOps
  • Proficient in CI/CD pipelines
