Description: Our client is currently seeking a Kong Developer

About the Role
We're seeking an experienced software engineer to join a unique team that blends product and platform engineering. This team is responsible for building critical software products and maintaining the platforms that support them-including a vital authentication platform.

You'll work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where responsibilities are shared across a "divide and conquer" team model. The ideal candidate has strong software development skills, particularly in API development, databases, and cloud-native architecture using AWS (especially Lambda and multi-regional setups), and experience with Kong API Gateway.

Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and implement applications and databases; integrate third-party products.
  • Ensure application performance meets expectations and IT deliverables are viable.
  • Recommend development options (build/buy/vendor), and conduct functionality, security, and performance testing.
  • Elevate code through development, test, and production environments; provide production support.
  • Mentor junior developers and provide subject matter expertise in software development methodologies and architecture standards.
  • Participate in design, code, and test inspections throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Communicate technical considerations effectively across cross-functional teams.
  • Ensure compliance with IT and Information Security policies and procedures.

Qualifications
  • 4-5 years of software development experience.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent experience); Master's degree preferred.
  • Strong experience with AWS (Lambda, ECS, multi-region, event-driven architectures), TypeScript, Node.js.
  • Proven track record in designing and building scalable, high-performance APIs for enterprise-grade applications.
  • Experience deploying and supporting Kong in various configurations (API Gateway, Client Authentication, Ingress Controller, Mutual TLS Egress) is a strong plus.
