Softsure | George, Western Cape | In-Office Turn a Monolith into a Platform Others Can Build On At Softsure we’re not just modernising a system, we’re turning it into a platform. That means APIs, consistent, secure, versioned and documented. At Softsure, our platform has been running for 15 years. It works but it’s time to evolve. We’re moving toward an API-first, event-driven architecture that enables the entire group to build faster and integrate seamlessly. This role is about defining what “good” looks like and making sure it’s the standard. What You’ll Do Define and enforce API design standards aligned with OpenAPI 3.1 Architect and manage Azure API Management (APIM) across internal and external APIs Design API versioning strategies that enable evolution without breaking consumers Build API templates and code generators for consistency and speed Implement API security standards (OAuth 2.0, JWT, rate limiting, IP restrictions) Establish contract testing practices to prevent breaking changes Build and maintain the API documentation portal Act as the quality gate, reviewing APIs before production release Create mock services to enable parallel development Define integration patterns across systems within the Group Engineering Contribution (Non-Negotiable) Design, develop, and maintain production‑grade APIs using C# and ASP.NET Core Contribute to backend engineering and platform development efforts Build reusable API components, templates, and frameworks Participate in code reviews, testing, and engineering best practices Support the modernisation of legacy systems into API-driven services #J-18808-Ljbffr
