- Develop internal SDKs, middleware, and shared libraries
- Ensure high standards of API security, performance, resilience, and observability
Event-Driven Architecture (Pub/Sub)
- Build API-to-Pub/Sub pipelines for asynchronous processing, including:
- Identity lifecycle automation
- Access review triggers
- Audit logging and event forwarding
- Security anomaly detection
- Develop Cloud Functions, Cloud Run services, or containerised workloads
- Implement robust event-processing patterns (retries, idempotency, DLQs, structured logging)
