About The Position

The Senior API Developer will join an existing agile squad for a fixed-duration, nine-month project to build an Externalized Service Center Inquiry API. The API will enable firms to access the status of Service Center work items without logging into the Wealthscape portal, supporting the client’s strategy of extending API capabilities to client firms. The work includes defining the API contract, application development, testing, and deployment on AWS. The role involves designing and building a secure, scalable API that accepts work item, account, or confirmation identifiers and returns status information and related metadata. The developer will integrate the API with existing work-item systems, deploy it to an active/active Amazon EKS cluster using Terracore/Terraform, and follow Fidelity architectural standards. The role also includes documentation, testing, deployment-pipeline participation, monitoring, and collaboration across teams. Developers are expected to guide and drive the work of other developers in the agile squad.
