Engineering Lead Analyst

Citi • Irving, TX

1d • $184,000 - $196,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

This role involves building and supporting the Apigee platform for various Citi businesses, including Services, Markets and Banking, Private Bank, and Global Wealth. The position requires designing, developing, and configuring APIs using REST and SOAP, and utilizing API Gateways/Management products like Google Apigee Hybrid and Apigee OPDK. Key responsibilities include building automation for API migration, developing build process automations using Ansible, Python, and Shell scripting, and improving Software Reliability and Engineering (SRE) practices for Apigee Hybrid. The role also entails developing common observability functionality, creating an efficient response system for API gateway dependencies, and enhancing runtime playbooks with self-healing automations. A significant aspect is developing an AI-based practice for first-line operational support to automate issue identification and remediation. The position involves designing, developing, and automating Apigee Hybrid Cloud technology services and solutions using AWS, OpenShift, and Kubernetes/EKS with Terraform for Infrastructure as Code. It also includes participating in system design and development, utilizing Python and Java, and executing performance and stability engineering activities. The role requires designing, developing, and delivering APIs with robust security patterns (OAuth, mutual TLS), and configuring API Gateways with PCI compliance, encryption, Vault, and tokenization. Additionally, the role involves replacing existing certificate management with a no-touch solution, developing an automated API inventory self-discovery system, and creating self-healing functions for common API management errors. The position also includes conducting Proof of Concepts for new technologies related to API Discovery and automated Dynamic Application Security Testing, evaluating alternative vendors like Kong, and evaluating/implementing a Service Mesh solution. The role will also implement the infrastructure for a new technology POC Lab. A telecommuting/hybrid work schedule may be permitted.
