About the Role
We are seeking a technical leader to design, build, and maintain the API gateway and integration layer connecting Element Pay services and external systems. This role is accountable for secure, reliable, and scalable service integration, with primary ownership of authentication, authorization, cross-service API delegation, caching, and external notification infrastructure.
Responsibilities
- Architect and build the API gateway, including routing, schema and request validation, rate limiting, and edge policies.
- Design and maintain the integration layer and service interfaces, including GraphQL schemas, gRPC contracts, and service-to-service delegation patterns.
- Own authentication and authorization capabilities, including token issuance and validation, session handling, scoped credentials, SSO integrations, and identity propagation.
- Design and operate caching and outbound notification capabilities, including cache invalidation, webhooks, retry and backoff policies, dead-letter handling, and delivery guarantees.
- Build automated unit, integration, and contract testing and instrument services with metrics, traces, logs, and alerts.
- Set technical direction for the integration domain through design documentation, architecture discussions, code review, production support, incident follow-up, and mentoring.
- Owns assigned systems and technical outcomes end to end and provides technical guidance to other engineers through design review, code review, pairing, documentation, and mentoring.
- Anticipates and resolves non-routine production and integration problems, establishes reusable patterns, and improves engineering approaches to authentication, service communication, caching, notification delivery, testing, and observability.
Requirements
- 6+ years of professional backend engineering experience, including significant experience with distributed systems or platform/infrastructure engineering.
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript (Node.js) and/or Go, with depth in at least one and ability to work effectively in the other.
- Production experience with GraphQL and/or gRPC, including schema or service-contract design, performance, versioning, and backward compatibility.
- Hands-on experience designing, building, or operating API gateways, service meshes, backend-for-frontend layers, or comparable integration infrastructure.
- Practical experience with authentication and authorization technologies and patterns, including OAuth 2.0, OIDC, JWTs, mTLS, and API key management.
- Experience with asynchronous and event-driven architecture using message queues, pub/sub, or event-streaming technologies.
