- Monitor and optimize API performance, throughput, and reliability



**Infrastructure, LLM & MCP**

- Install and maintain API Manager on Linux VMs (DB setup, load balancing, HA)

- Manage API workloads on Azure AKS (Helm, scaling, ingress, networking, observability)

- Onboard and govern LLM APIs (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic) via the gateway

- Design, secure, and troubleshoot MCP client–server integrations, including streaming and context management



**Security, Documentation & Collaboration**

- Apply API security best practices (OAuth2, JWT, API keys, mTLS, certificates)

- Ensure secure-by-design patterns for APIs and MCP endpoints

- Document APIs, integration flows, and platform configurations; maintain runbooks

- Collaborate with development, security, AI/ML, and infrastructure teams on shared solutions
