- Fullstack
A full stack engineer who builds schema-driven UIs and services from contracts like OpenAPI/JSON Schema, configures API gateways (Kong, Envoy, Akamai/CloudFront), and runs GitOps-based delivery with automated rollback. Backend work in Python, Go, or Java, largely CLI/config-as-code driven.
Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills
- Backend engineering: Proficiency in one or more backend languages Python, Golang, or Java.
- Schema-driven experiences: Experience building dynamic, schema-driven UIs and services from structured contracts such as the OpenAPI Specification (OAS) or JSON Schema.
- API gateway configuration: Professional experience configuring API gateways - Kong, Envoy, Akamai/CloudFront including routes, services, upstreams, and plugins.
- GitOps model: Hands-on experience with GitOps-based delivery - author intent → PR → validate → merge → reconcile — with automated rollback on failure.
- CLI & code-editor tooling: Comfort with CLI-driven and code-editor–based workflows for gateway onboarding - authoring, validating, and committing configuration directly as code.
Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills
- Kong: Deep, hands-on experience with Kong API Gateway (plugins, consumers, upstreams, schema validation).
- Envoy: Hands-on experience with Envoy Proxy or Envoy Gateway (routes, filters, and configuration).
- Akamai / CloudFront: Familiarity with edge configuration (CDN, WAF, GTM, certificates, property versioning/activation).
- Config reconciliation & drift: Experience building drift detection and desired-state reconciliation between Git and live systems.
