AI Gateway Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: AI Gateway Engineer (Data Mesh and AI Platforms team)

• Focus: Enterprise AI Gateway engineering for LLM, MCP, and A2A patterns

• Work model: Hybrid (up to 40% remote), with hiring in Gdańsk/Gdynia (Poland) or Helsinki (Finland)

Description

Join the Data Mesh and AI Platforms team to design, build, and operate an enterprise AI Gateway. You will extend API platform/gateway capabilities to support LLM, MCP, and A2A integrations with automation so the solution is reliable, reusable, and production-ready. Work closely with security, governance, risk, compliance, and cloud platform teams to ensure secure and governed AI access in a regulated banking environment.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate AI Gateway capabilities using API platform and gateway engineering practices

• Implement secure, reusable gateway patterns for LLM access, MCP servers, and A2A agent-to-agent integrations

• Build infrastructure-as-code with Terraform and automate provisioning of gateway components

• Develop and improve CI/CD pipelines, source control workflows, and release practices for gateway configuration and platform changes

• Set up and automate gateway policies to expose AI capabilities in a consistent, governed, and developer-friendly way

• Create and extend Kong plugins (e.g., using Lua and Python) for custom gateway capabilities and integrations

• Integrate the AI Gateway with enterprise identity providers to support authentication, authorization, and access control

• Set up logging, monitoring, and alerting (observability dashboards and operational insights using Splunk, Prometheus, and Grafana)

• Establish FinOps capabilities for AI Gateway usage, including cost visibility and consumption tracking

• Support onboarding of new use cases and contribute to documentation, reusable templates, and engineering standards

Requirements

• Hands-on experience designing, configuring, and operating API platforms and gateways in enterprise environments

• Experience with API gateway technologies such as Kong or IBM API Connect/DataPower (or similar)

• Strong Terraform and infrastructure-as-code experience

• Kubernetes and Helm experience for deploying and managing gateway components

• Solid CI/CD pipeline and source control/release workflow knowledge

• Python and Lua knowledge for creating and maintaining Kong plugins

• Identity provider (IdP) integration experience, including authentication/authorization/access control patterns

• Experience setting up logging, monitoring, and alerting with tools such as Splunk, Prometheus, and Grafana

• Understanding of FinOps: cost visibility, consumption tracking, and cost guardrails

• Experience with OpenAPI specifications, API contracts, gateway policies, and developer-facing documentation

• Ability to collaborate with architects, cybersecurity, risk and compliance teams in a regulated environment

• BSc or MSc in a related discipline (or equivalent practical experience)

• Professional experience as a Platform Engineer, API Gateway Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Platform Architect, or similar

Benefits

• Employment: Full-time permanent position

• Work model: Hybrid (up to 40% remote work possible)
