API Software Developer
The role of an API software developer is pivotal in implementing API design principles to create scalable, secure and consumer-centric APIs.
1. Software Development
2. Implement Design First Approach: Utilize OpenAPI (Swagger), RAML or AsyncAPI specifications to define APIs prior to implementation, ensuring clarity and alignment across stakeholders.
3. API Specification Design: Develop API specifications that adhere to customer standards, covering endpoints, data structures, error handling and response codes.
4. Policies and Configuration: Define and configure API policies (security, routing, transformation, throttling etc.) using tools such as Azure API Management.
