API Design and Development: Design, develop, and maintain scalable and secure RESTful and SOAP APIs. Develop and implement API standards, including security, authentication, anddata integrity. Create and manage API documentation to ensure clarity and ease of use forinternal and external developers.Integration and Data Management: Integrate APIs with internal systems, third-party services, and externalplatforms (e.g., payment gateways, accounting software). Work closely with business analysts and product managers to defineintegration requirements. Handle data parsing, transformation, and synchronisation across platforms.Performance and Security: Monitor and optimise API performance, ensuring low latency and highavailability. Implement security protocols, including OAuth, JWT, and API key-basedauthentication. Ensure compliance with industry standards and data protection regulations(e.g., GDPR).Testing and Debugging: Develop and execute unit, integration, and end-to-end tests for APIs. Debug and resolve issues related to API performance and connectivity. Set up automated monitoring and alerting for API failures and errors.Collaboration and Support: Work closely with front-end and back-end developers to align API functionalitywith application needs. Provide technical support and guidance to internal teams and externalpartners using the APIs. Continuously improve and refine existing APIs based on user feedback andperformance analysis.Skills and Experience:Essential: Proven experience in developing and managing RESTful and SOAP APIs. Strong programming skills in JavaScript, Python, Node.js, .NET, or Java. Experience with API management platforms (e.g., Postman, Swagger, Apigee). Knowledge of security best practices (e.g., OAuth 2.0, JWT). Understanding of data exchange formats like JSON, XML. Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP). Strong understanding of version control systems (e.g., Git). Must have experience of developing a dedicated API's platform for third parties
