Your role :
We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Senior API Engineer to design, build, and operate APIs and the underlying platform infrastructure at Alter Domus. You will work at the intersection of software engineering and platform operations — building well-crafted, production-grade APIs while ensuring they run reliably at scale on Kubernetes.

This is a senior individual contributor role with a clear growth path into Solution Design. We are looking for someone who thinks architecturally, takes pride in building foundational systems that others build upon, and is ready to grow into broader technical leadership over time.

Your responsibilities:
API Development & Standards

Design and develop production-grade APIs using Python and FastAPI, following RESTful principles and OpenAPI specifications

Build foundational platform APIs (tenant management, user APIs) that serve as building blocks for the wider organisation

Establish and maintain API standards across the organisation — versioning strategies, error handling patterns, authentication flows, and documentation practices

Design APIs with an architectural mindset — considering how they will evolve, scale, and be consumed by multiple teams over time

Review API designs and implementations, providing technical guidance and mentoring to ensure adherence to platform standards

Build shared libraries and tooling that help other teams deliver consistent, high-quality APIs

Platform & Infrastructure

Build and maintain Kubernetes infrastructure — deploying, scaling, and operating your own services including deployments, services, ingress, and observability





Deploy and configure APIs onto Kong API Gateway — defining routes, applying plugins, and managing authentication policies for your services

Create and optimise CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) for automated testing, building, and deploying APIs

Implement infrastructure-as-code practices using Helm; Terraform experience is a plus

Operations & Collaboration

Monitor platform health and proactively address performance and reliability issues

Work cross-functionally with development, security, and operations teams to align platform capabilities with business needs

Troubleshoot complex issues spanning application code, infrastructure, and networking layers

Contribute to architectural discussions and solution design — this role is intended to grow into broader solution design responsibilities over time

Your skills:
Must Have

5+ years experience developing APIs in Python, with strong hands-on FastAPI experience in production environments

Strong understanding of API design principles — REST conventions, OpenAPI/Swagger, versioning, error handling, pagination, and multi-tenant patterns

CKAD (Certified Kubernetes Application Developer) certification required

Solid production experience with Kubernetes — deployments, services, ingress, networking, troubleshooting, autoscaling

Experience with event-driven architectures and messaging systems (e.g. EventBridge, SQS, SNS, Azure Service Bus, Kafka)

Experience building CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps)

Familiarity with Docker and Helm

Solid problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and architectural thinking

Fluent in English

Nice to Have

AWS or cloud platform experience (EKS, Lambda, S3, IAM) — plus

GraphQL experience — strong plus; directly relevant to our platform API layer

Terraform basics — enough to provision supporting resources for your APIs (databases, caches, queues) without depending on an ops team

Experience with API gateway platforms — Kong, AWS API Gateway, or Azure APIM

Background in platform engineering or developer experience roles

Experience establishing API governance practices across an organisation

Mindset

We are looking for someone who:




Enjoys building APIs that others build upon — the foundational services that become critical infrastructure for the organisation

Takes pride in designing clean, well-documented interfaces that make other developers' lives easier

Thinks architecturally — beyond the immediate use case, considering how a system will evolve, scale, and be maintained as adoption grows

Wants to grow into solution design and technical leadership — not just delivering tasks, but shaping how the platform develops over time

Is energised by enabling others rather than just shipping features for end users

Is comfortable owning problems end to end — from API contract design through to production observability
