About the role:
IndoFast Energy (a JV of IndianOil & SUN Mobility) operates a growing EV two-wheeler retail network across Multiple Brand Outlets (MBOs). As we scale, our API platform has become the backbone connecting vehicle inventory, battery swap infrastructure, partner integrations, and downstream enterprise systems.
We are looking for a technically deep Product Manager who can lead the API platform as a product — setting standards, driving adoption, and ensuring the platform is reliable, well-documented, and built for scale. Prior backend development experience is a strong advantage; deep familiarity with inventory management or warehouse operations is a significant plus.
What you will own:
• API product strategy: Define the roadmap for IndoFast's internal and partner-facing APIs — versioning, deprecation policy, rate limiting, SLA tiers, and developer experience.
• Integration design: Architect integration patterns between ERP, WMS, swap-station telemetry, CRM, and mobile apps using REST/GraphQL APIs and middleware (MuleSoft / Azure Integration Services).
• Inventory & warehouse API layer: Own the product definition for APIs that power real-time stoc visibility, inward/outward flows, bin management, serialised inventory tracking (battery packs, EV units), and reconciliation between physical and system inventory.
• API governance: Establish and enforce API design standards (OpenAPI/Swagger specs, naming conventions, error codes, pagination, idempotency), conduct design reviews, and maintain a central API catalogue.
• Stakeholder bridge: Translate business requirements from operations, finance, and partner teams into precise technical specifications for backend engineers. Review PRDs with engineering and hold them to contract.
• Reliability & observability: Define SLAs, work with DevOps/SRE on alerting, logging, and incident response for production API failures.
• Partner & third-party integrations: Manage API onboarding for logistics partners, OEM data feeds, GSTN/IRP (e-invoicing), payment gateways, and IndianOil/SMPL upstream systems.
Must-have requirements:
• 5–8 years of experience in product management, technical program management, or backend engineering, with at least 3 years in an API-facing or integration-heavy role.
• Has designed or consumed REST APIs at production scale — can read and write OpenAPI specs, understand HTTP semantics (idempotency, pagination, status codes, auth flows).
• Solid understanding of backend concepts: microservices, message queues (Kafka / RabbitMQ / Azure Service Bus), async patterns, database transactions, and eventual consistency.
• Prior experience as a backend developer (Java, Python, Node.js, or similar) is a strong differentiator — someone who has written production code and understands what engineering trade-offs feel like.
• Working knowledge of inventory management or warehouse operations — stock movements, bin/location tracking, GRN, putaway, pick-pack-ship, cycle counting, or WMS platforms.
• Experience writing detailed API specifications, integration runbooks, or technical PRDs that engineers can build from without back-and-forth.
• Comfortable with Postman, Swagger UI, or equivalent for API testing and validation.
Good to have:
• Experience with WMS platforms (SAP EWM, Oracle WMS, GreenfieldWMS, or custom-built systems).
• Exposure to IoT / telemetry API patterns — time-series data, device registration, event streaming.
• Familiarity with GraphQL and API gateway products (Apigee, AWS API Gateway, Kong, Azure APIM).
• Knowledge of EV, energy, or mobility domain — battery swap logistics, vehicle telematics, or charging infrastructure.
• Experience with developer portal tooling (Stoplight, Redoc, Confluence-based API docs).
• Agile/Scrum delivery experience; comfortable running sprints with backend engineering pods.
