Enable Self-Service Portal (SSP) capabilities to streamline developer onboarding, app registration, and API key provisioning.
Set up API products, rate plans, environments, and access controls in Apigee.
Collaborate with API Product Managers, security teams, and architects to define API contracts, governance, and lifecycle management.
Monitor and troubleshoot APIs using Apigee Analytics, logging frameworks, and performance tuning techniques.
Integrate APIs with backend systems (e.g., microservices, legacy apps, SaaS) over REST/SOAP.
Drive CI/CD pipeline automation for API deployments using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar tools.
Create and maintain OpenAPI/Swagger specifications and test APIs with tools like Postman, SoapUI, and automated testing frameworks.
