JOB SUMMARY

We are seeking a visionary Enterprise Architect with deep expertise in API design, governance, and lifecycle management to lead the development of a scalable, secure, and reliable API ecosystem across our MVNE (Mobile Virtual Network Enabler) architecture. This role will own the API roadmap, drive headless architecture enablement, and oversee the AWS-based API Gateway infrastructure using AWS SAM for Infrastructure as Code and Python-based Lambda functions.

SUMMARY OF ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS

  • Define and execute the API strategy and roadmap to support headless functionality across all MVNE domains, including provisioning, billing, OSS, ERP, payments, inventory, and dealer compensation.
  • Architect and manage API Gateway infrastructure within AWS, leveraging AWS SAM for IaC and Python for serverless compute.
  • Establish and enforce API governance frameworks, including versioning, documentation standards, lifecycle policies, and developer onboarding.
  • Ensure security, reliability, and scalability of APIs through robust authentication, authorization, throttling, and monitoring practices.
  • Apply TM Forum standards (e.g., Open APIs, SID, eTOM) to ensure interoperability, consistency, and alignment with telecom industry best practices.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align API architecture with business goals and technical constraints.
  • Lead integration efforts across third-party systems and internal platforms, ensuring seamless data flow and service orchestration.
  • Provide architectural oversight and guidance across all MVNE functions, ensuring consistency and alignment with enterprise standards.
  • Stay current with emerging technologies and best practices in API management, cloud-native architecture, and telecom systems.

DEMONSTRATED EXPERIENCE

  • 8 + years of experience in enterprise architecture, with a strong focus on API design and management.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS API Gateway, AWS SAM, and Python Lambda functions in production environments.
  • Proven track record in API governance, including security protocols (OAuth2, JWT), rate limiting, and SLA enforcement.
  • Deep understanding of MVNE architecture and telecom systems, including OSS/BSS, provisioning, and subscriber lifecycle management.
  • Strong knowledge of TM Forum frameworks, including Open APIs, SID (Shared Information/Data model), and eTOM (Enhanced Telecom Operations Map).
  • Experience with distributed systems, microservices, and headless architecture principles.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, monitoring tools, and DevOps practices in cloud environments.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into business value.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Experience with API management platforms (e.g., Apigee, Kong, AWS API Gateway Advanced features).
  • Familiarity with GraphQL, RESTful standards, and OpenAPI/Swagger specifications.
  • Telecom certifications or experience with MVNO/MVNE platforms.
  • Background in designing APIs for high-throughput, low-latency environments.
