Key Responsibilities

Solution Design & Implementation

Gather and analyze functional and non-functional requirements from stakeholders to design orchestration, API, and identity solutions.
Design, install, and configure WSO2 API Manager, WSO2 Micro Integrator, and WSO2 Identity Server (CIAM) across all environments (DEV, UAT, Production, DR).
Architect and build APIs and integration flows connecting core banking systems, ERPs, payment switches, billers, and third-party systems.
Develop and deploy APIs using Java, Kubernetes/OpenShift, and XML-based message processing (XSLT, XPath).
Own the end-to-end platform deployment, including containerizing and deploying WSO2 and custom components onto Kubernetes/OpenShift.
Develop and expose secure services/APIs using REST, SOAP, and event-driven patterns, applying OAuth2/JWT and SSO.
Build microservices and backend components using Ballerina and/or Java/Spring Boot.
Design, build, and support SWIFT connectors and messaging integrations (e.g., MT/MX message formats).

CIAM & Identity

Implement Customer Identity and Access Management capabilities, including single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and self-service registration.
Configure federation, custom identity protocols, and adaptive authentication/authorization flows using WSO2 Identity Server.
Ensure CIAM implementations comply with data protection standards such as GDPR and ISO 27001.

Platform Engineering & DevOps

Set up and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab, Docker, Kubernetes/OpenShift, and Helm.
Configure high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) for hybrid deployments.
Implement monitoring, logging, and auditing capabilities using the ELK stack.

Quality, Documentation & Training

Write and execute test cases (e.g., using Cucumber) to validate APIs.
Produce solution architecture documents, technical specifications, and administration guides.
Deliver training and workshops to client technical teams and provide post-go-live support.
