Key Responsibilities :

- Design and develop RESTful APIs using Python and Fast API for Data Access (Async, Online, and Pipeline APIs).

- Implement asynchronous batch extraction APIs with job submission, status tracking, and result retrieval.

- Develop synchronous APIs for targeted data lookups and metadata queries.

- Integrate APIs with Enterprise API Gateway and Sentinel authentication and authorization mechanisms.

- Implement API-level security, rate limiting, and access controls in compliance with HIPAA requirements.

- Integrate ECG transport for secure batch data delivery to external consumers.

- Collaborate with Data Engineers to wire APIs with Snowflake and S3-based extraction logic.

- Build and maintain Skills Registry and supporting platform services.

- Support SDK development and API client wrappers for internal developer consumption.

- Ensure comprehensive audit logging of all API requests and responses to Data Operations Metadata (DOM).

- Handle error management, retries, and observability for API workflows.

- Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and security reviews.

- Support SIT, UAT, and production deployment activities.

- Familiarity with API Gateway integration and enterprise security patterns.

- Experience integrating backend services with data platforms such as Snowflake and S3.

- Knowledge of batch data delivery mechanisms and file-based integrations (SFTP, ECG or equivalent).

- Understanding of microservices architecture and containerized deployments.

- Strong debugging, performance tuning, and problem-solving skills.

- Experience in regulated or enterprise environments preferred

Qualifications :

- Experience with healthcare or compliance-focused platforms.

- Exposure to audit logging and metadata-driven systems.

- Experience working with Snowflake Iceberg or external table integrations.

- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and Git-based workflows.

- Experience supporting developer tooling, SDKs, or platform enablement

Key Interfaces :

- Solution Architect for API design and architecture alignment.

- Senior and Data Engineers for extraction logic and pipeline integration.

- Security and Platform Teams for authentication, authorization, and gateway integration.

- QA / Test Engineers for API validation and UAT support.

- Client and Business Stakeholders during UAT and acceptance phases.
