Junior Platform Engineer Job at TM Forum (Mumbai)

Job Description

The Junior Platform Engineer is a key technical and community-facing role responsible for owning, maintaining, governing, and evolving the TM Forum API tooling ecosystem. This includes the tools used to design, generate, validate, publish, and certify TM Forum Open APIs.

The Maintainer is essential to stabilizing and scaling the API Factory, eliminating single points of failure, unlocking throughput, and improving automation of our build process.

Lead the roadmap for next generation API tooling, including AI assisted API production
Innovate tooling to support upcoming initiatives (API Specializations, Async APIs, improvements/innovation, schema integrations)
Ensure tooling scalability and robustness as volume grows
Maintain stable, secure, transparent operations with visibility of changes and traceability of outputs
Manage issues, triage defects, coordinate fixes, and ensure reliability of build pipelines and tooling-generated artefacts

Requirements

Strong experience with OpenAPI 3.x, JSON Schema, AsyncAPI, API design and contract-first development
