Job Description
Must-Have Skills:
- Programming Languages: Proficiency in at least one programming language commonly used for API development is essential. Popular choices include Python, Java, JavaScript (Node.js), Ruby, PHP, C#, and Go.
- Rest Clients: Experience using rest clients such as insomnia or Postman to test API requests
- API Design: Understanding how to design clear, well-documented, and easy-to-use APIs is crucial. This involves knowledge of RESTful principles, data structures like JSON or XML, and versioning practices.
- Database Management: APIs often interact with databases to retrieve or store data. A strong understanding of relational databases (SQL) and potentially NoSQL databases is important for efficient data access and manipulation.
- Testing and Debugging: APIs need to be reliable and secure. Experience with writing unit, integration, and end-to-end tests is essential, along with proficiency in debugging tools and techniques to identify and fix issues.
- Version Control Systems: Version control systems like Git are crucial for managing code changes, collaboration, and tracking project history.
Technical Skills:
- OneTrust Platform Knowledge: It is essential to have a solid understanding of the OneTrust platform, its functionalities, and its various modules (e.g., Privacy and GRC).
- OneTrust APIs: Familiarity with the specific OneTrust APIs you'll be working with is crucial. OneTrust provides a Developer Portal ( https://my.onetrust.com/s/ ) with comprehensive documentation, code samples, and tutorials for their APIs.
- OneTrust Workflow Integrations: Familiarity with the structure of building out OneTrust workflow
- Authentication and Authorization: OneTrust APIs utilize various authentication and authorization mechanisms (e.g., API keys, OAuth). Understanding these mechanisms is essential for secure API access.
- Integration Experience: OneTrust APIs are often used to integrate with other systems. Experience with integrating APIs using tools like webhooks or SDKs is valuable.
- Data Security and Privacy: OneTrust handles sensitive data. A strong understanding of data security and privacy best practices is essential when developing APIs that handle this type of data.
- Previous OneTrust Development Experience: Prior experience developing solutions using the OneTrust platform and its APIs
- Transferable API Development Experience: Even if one doesn't have direct OneTrust experience, strong experience developing APIs for other platforms is valuable.
