We are actively hiring for a Governance Engineer II - Remote

Your Role: The

Governance Engineer will play a hands-on role in turning enterprise API, data, security, and responsible AI policies into practical, automated engineering solutions. This position will develop governance-as-code, reusable standards, and automated guardrails that enable APIs and emerging AI agents to securely access enterprise data, tools, and MCP resources. Working closely with architecture, security, risk, data, and engineering teams, the Governance Engineer will strengthen API and AI security, automate compliance and approval processes, improve lifecycle management and monitoring, and create self-service solutions that make governance easier to follow while enabling teams to innovate responsibly.

Your Work: API Governance Standards

Review API specifications and data contracts for alignment with enterprise REST, security, and data standards.

Translate enterprise policies into implementable standards, controls, templates, and reusable patterns.

Promote consistent API design, data definitions, schemas, metadata, error models, and access patterns.

Maintain governance artifacts, including standards, reference implementations, reusable components, and technical guidance.

Track compliance, exceptions, adoption, and remediation across engineering teams.

Agentic AI Governance & Responsible AI

• Establish engineering guardrails for how AI agents discover, access, and invoke APIs, tools, and enterprise data.
• Implement controls for agent identity, authentication, authorization, least-privilege access, approvals, and human oversight.
• Define technical practices for agent evaluations, tool-use validation, traceability, auditability, and monitoring.
• Review agent workflows and AI-generated artifacts for security, quality, compliance, and alignment with approved policies.
• Partner with security, architecture, data, and responsible AI teams to operationalize enterprise policy without independently setting that policy.
• Support safe adoption of AI-assisted development tools and agentic capabilities across engineering teams.

API Lifecycle Management

• Support API lifecycle activities, including design, review, publishing, versioning, deployment, monitoring, deprecation, and retirement.
• Onboard APIs to enterprise catalogs, repositories, developer portals, and governance platforms.
• Maintain API inventory, ownership, dependencies, lifecycle status, and supporting documentation.
• Implement lifecycle controls for breaking changes, backward compatibility, versioning, and retirement.
• Monitor API usage, health, security, compliance, and adoption metrics.

Automation, Platform Enablement & Developer Adoption

• Integrate API and agent governance controls into CI/CD pipelines and development workflows.
• Build or configure API linting, contract testing, security scanning, policy validation, and compliance checks.
• Develop scripts, reusable pipeline components, and governance-as-code solutions to reduce manual review.
• Support API catalogs, developer portals, Postman workspaces, governance repositories, and reporting capabilities.
• Create self-service templates, documentation, training materials, and onboarding guidance.
• Partner with development teams to resolve findings and drive adoption of governance standards and tools.

Expected Outcomes

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to:

• Increased automation of API, data contract, and agent governance controls.
• Faster and more consistent governance reviews with fewer manual checkpoints.
• Improved API lifecycle visibility, ownership, versioning, and retirement practices.
• Stronger security for APIs and AI agents, including access controls, approvals, and traceability.
• Earlier identification of API quality, contract compatibility, security, and compliance issues.
• Broader adoption of reusable standards, governance-as-code, and self-service capabilities.
• Measurable improvements in governance compliance and developer experience.

Required Experience, Education and Skills

• 2 + years of experience in software engineering, API development, systems integration, platform engineering, DevSecOps, or a related technical field.
• Demonstrated experience with designing, developing, testing, and supporting REST APIs and integrations, including OpenAPI/Swagger specifications, API testing, and lifecycle management.
• Experience implementing engineering controls within CI/CD pipelines, including automated testing, API validation, contract testing, security scanning, or other governance-as-code practices.
• Working knowledge of API security concepts, including OAuth, authentication, authorization, access controls, and secure API design principles.
• Experience with modern API lifecycle and governance tools such as Postman, SwaggerHub, API catalogs, developer portals, API gateways, or similar platforms.
• Familiarity wi
