Sr Engineer AI Agentic API Management

Description -

We are seeking an experienced engineering leader to design build and operate API Management layers for enterprise AI services. The role focuses on enabling secure governed and scalable access to managed AI services (LLMs AI APIs and agentic systems) through a centralized API gateway aligned with Zero Trust principles and multi-cloud architecture.

This position plays a critical role in establishing API-first AI consumption patterns ensuring policy enforcement cost governance observability and secure integration across enterprise applications and agentic workloads.

Key Responsibilities

1. AI API Gateway Architecture & Design

• Design and implement API Management (APIM) layers to expose AI services (LLMs search NLP vision) securely

• Establish northbound and southbound API patterns for external consumers and internal services

• Build gateway-based abstraction layers to decouple consumers from underlying AI providers and models

2. Zero Trust Security & Identity Enforcement

• Implement Zero Trust connectivity models for AI service exposure (identity-first no implicit trust)

• Enforce authentication authorization and token validation (JWT OAuth managed identity)

• Integrate secure network controls such as private endpoints NSGs and TLS-based communication

3. Governance Policy & Compliance

• Define and enforce API policies for:

  • Rate limiting throttling quota enforcement

  • Data access control and PII protection

  • Tool/API invocation governance for agentic systems

• Ensure compliance with enterprise security audit and regulatory standards

4. AI Service Integration & Abstraction

• Enable unified access to multi-cloud AI services (Azure AI AWS Bedrock etc.)

• Provide standardized API contracts and SDK patterns for application teams

• Support agent-to-service communication via gateway-controlled interfaces

5. Cost Management & Optimization

• Implement token-based and usage-based cost controls at the API gateway layer

• Enable quota allocation by project/team/API key

• Optimize usage through techniques such as caching and request deduplication

6. Observability & Reliability

• Establish end-to-end telemetry (logs metrics tracing) for AI API calls

• Integrate monitoring tools (App Insights / CloudWatch / Log Analytics)

• Drive SRE practices for high availability and fault tolerance

7. Platform Engineering & Automation

• Build reusable CI/CD pipelines templates and API onboarding frameworks

• Define golden paths for onboarding applications to AI services via APIs

• Automate API lifecycle management (publish version retire)

8. Cross-Team Collaboration

• Partner with security platform AI/ML and application teams

• Guide developers on API integration with managed AI services

• Drive adoption of standardized API gateway patterns

Required Qualifications

• 10 years of experience in API Management Platform Engineering or Cloud Architecture

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Information Technology Computer Science Engineering or a related discipline with relevant professional experience.

• Strong experience with:

  • API gateways (Azure APIM AWS API Gateway)

  • REST/GraphQL APIs API lifecycle management

• Deep understanding of:

  • AI/ML service integration patterns

  • Authentication protocols (OAuth2 OIDC JWT)

  • Zero Trust architecture principles

• Experience in cloud platforms (Azure and/or AWS)

• Hands-on experience with microservices containers and Kubernetes

Key Competencies

• Enterprise architecture & systems thinking

• Security-first mindset (Zero Trust)

• Strong stakeholder communication and cross-team alignment

• Problem-solving in distributed multi-cloud environments

• Ability to define standards and drive adoption at scale
