You will lead the technical design of the target-state API gateway platform. The role requires someone who can operate at the architecture level while retaining the hands-on depth to make credible design decisions about API behaviour, code patterns, and infrastructure configuration.
You will have the following skills and experience:
* Deep AWS cloud architecture experience with specific hands-on expertise with API Gateways, including configuration, deployment, custom authorisers, usage plans, throttling, and caching.
* Proven experience designing and implementing API platforms at enterprise scale, with a strong understanding of API design patterns, versioning strategies, and lifecycle management.
* Strong hands-on experience with REST API development, with a background as a developer or senior engineer who has built and maintained production APIs.
* Working proficiency with TypeScript and/or C# .NET in the context of API development and middleware, sufficient to assess API implementations and identify required changes.
* Deep working knowledge of AWS IAM (roles, policies, trust relationships, cross-account access), CloudFormation and/or AWS CDK for infrastructure-as-code.
* Strong experience with AWS compute and storage services relevant to API workloads: Lambda, ECS, EKS, S3, DynamoDB, and CloudWatch.
* Experience designing CI/CD pipelines for API deployments across multiple environments, including environment promotion and rollback strategies.
* Ability to produce architecture artefacts to a standard suitable for government assurance and endorsement processes.
To have your application considered, you will:
* Be an Australian citizen
* Have a minimum baseline security clearance
