// The Role

What does an API Developer do?

An API developer designs, develops and maintains interfaces through which software systems communicate with each other. From REST to GraphQL to Event-Driven Architecture — API developers build the bridges between applications, data sources and partners.

In companies with 100+ APIs, this role becomes strategic: API developers make decisions about spec design, versioning, governance and developer experience. They work at the intersection of backend engineering, architecture and product management.

The challenge: Without a central platform, API developers spend over 4 hours per week just searching for existing APIs and their documentation. An API developer portal solves exactly this problem — self-service instead of Slack pings.

Typical Skills of an API Developer

  • REST, GraphQL, gRPC & Event-Driven Design
  • OpenAPI & AsyncAPI Specification
  • API Security — OAuth 2.0, mTLS, RBAC
  • CI/CD & Automated Testing
  • API Governance & Lifecycle Management
  • Integration Patterns — ESB, Message Queues
  • Documentation & Developer Experience
