Are you an experienced Apigee consultant with strong hands-on experience designing, configuring and supporting enterprise API platforms?

We're looking for a Senior Consultant in Apigee Delivery to join a major technology programme, taking hands-on responsibility for building, testing and supporting secure and scalable API capabilities using Apigee X and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

This role will suit someone comfortable working across API engineering, security, connectivity and CI/CD, who can troubleshoot complex integrations and work closely with platform, application, network and security teams.

Responsibilities:

• Designing, building and configuring API capabilities within Apigee X and GCP,
• Developing API proxies, policies, shared flows, target servers, KVMs, API products and environment configurations,
• Implementing API security using OAuth 2.0, OIDC, JWT, mTLS, certificates and service accounts,
• Troubleshooting end-to-end API routing, connectivity, DNS, TLS, authentication and performance issues,
• Building reusable API onboarding and deployment patterns,
• Automating Apigee configuration and deployments using Terraform, APIs and CI/CD tooling,
• Creating and maintaining CI/CD pipelines covering testing, validation, deployment, promotion and rollback,
• Supporting API migration and onboarding onto Apigee X,
• Providing production support, incident investigation and root-cause analysis,
• Producing clear test evidence, technical documentation, onboarding guidance and operational runbooks,
• Working collaboratively with application, platform, architecture, security, network and SRE teams.

Previous experience:

• Significant hands-on commercial experience delivering and supporting Apigee X,
• Strong knowledge of API proxies, policies, shared flows, API products, KVMs, target servers and environments, combined with strong REST API and API security knowledge including OAuth 2.0, OIDC, JWT and mTLS,
• Experience with Apigee policies such as OAuthV2, VerifyAPIKey, AssignMessage, ServiceCallout, SpikeArrest and Quota,
• Experience automating Apigee X and GCP configuration using Terraform and APIs,
• CI/CD experience using GitHub, Harness, Jenkins, Cloud Build or similar,
• Good understanding of GCP networking, DNS, IAM, service accounts, TLS and private connectivity,
• Linux experience with scripting or development skills in Python, Bash, JavaScript or Node.js,

Experience with Apigee migrations, GKE, Cloud Run, Istio/Anthos Service Mesh, Backstage, Dynatrace, Google Cloud Operations or ServiceNow would be advantageous, as would previous experience within a highly regulated environment.

This is a hands-on senior consulting role where you'll be expected to take ownership of technical outcomes rather than simply provide architectural guidance. You'll need to be comfortable getting into the detail, solving complex API and connectivity problems and leaving behind robust, repeatable solutions.

Apply today if you're an experienced Apigee consultant looking for a technically challenging delivery role where you can make an immediate impact.
