Have others talk about your amazing product. Develop a user-friendly API that other developers love to use in their solutions.
Move data between software and devices easily and without hiccups. API developers can guarantee your digital solutions work issue-free 24/7.
Make your business more data-driven. Analyze how others utilize your API and make it more tailored to customers’ needs.
Avoid dangerous cyber threats. Experienced API developers can guarantee you a cyber-secure solution trusted by your clients.
Many young businesses don’t yet understand how important it is to develop an amazing, user-friendly API — but these unique pieces of code might actually be the core of your company’s success.
What is an API or Application Programming Interface? To put it simply, it’s a software helping two digital products communicate with each other — transfer data from one to another. One of the best modern examples of an API are features like Google Sign-In or Facebook Login. By using them, developers can make their product more accessible and speed up the login/sing up the experience for the user.
Other popular API examples include:
Do you need to build a robust API for your product so it can be utilized by third-parties? Then you will need to have experienced API developers on board!
There is a significant difference between the role of a standard software developer and an API developer. The first ones most often build products for a broader audience. Sometimes this audience is the very general public (e.g. in the case of social media platforms like Facebook), other times the product is tailored to a specific industry and clientele (e.g. MedTech products used by the health industry).
API developers work differently — their software (API) is supposed to be used by other developers from all around the world. Therefore, they do not have to simplify their creation to be understood by non-tech-savvy people. Instead, they have to build software that they themselves would love to use.
There are many different features of a good API but the most important ones are:
As it is with any other technical role, API developers must possess a specific set of hard skills that determine their ability to deliver amazing results. The most important such skills are:
Additionally, your API developers might need to possess some skills specific to your unique project. To make sure you make your requirements as clear as possible, we recommend you to discuss your exact needs with a software consultant or an IT project manager prior to starting the hiring process.
While broad technical knowledge is a must for API developers, it should not overshadow the importance of soft skills. These can highly impact how well your new hire cooperates with others in the company, directly impacting how innovative and efficient your whole company is.
What are the most important soft skills for API developers?
What is the most reliable way of checking the skills of your API developers? First, review their portfolio; then, run a technical job interview with them. Remember that such an interview should be prepared and led by an expert in the field of APIs and the technologies your company is using. If you don’t possess such technical knowledge yourself, we recommend asking for assistance from another developer experienced with API creation, a software consultant, or an IT project manager.
What are some questions that an API developer can be asked during a job interview?
To get truly amazing results for your project — and have them delivered fast — consider also the company fit during the hiring process. What should you exactly look into?
Amazing, user-friendly API can make your product more widely used, even by top enterprises in your business vertical. But there are more things you have to look after if you want to deliver truly stunning digital solutions. Hire additional experts, like web developers, data scientists, machine learning engineers, or Product Owners to make sure you make the most out of your unique product idea.
