Our Values If this sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.

Who You Are You are a senior product engineer who enjoys solving hard problems where software, APIs, and real developer workflows meet. You can take a partner's desired customer experience, understand both sides of an integration, and deliver a practical, supportable solution with the capabilities that are available today.

You bring strong API and web-platform fundamentals, communicate comfortably with external technical audiences, and care as much about the developer's path to success as the code itself. You are not satisfied with repeatedly solving the same problem by hand: you turn what you learn from partner work into better SDKs, documentation, tooling, and integration patterns.

What You Will Work On Independently lead technical discovery and solutioning for priority partner integrations, including partner API research, data mapping, authentication and authorization flows, architecture choices, implementation support, and launch readiness.

Build and maintain high-quality developer ecosystem capabilities: portal experiences, documentation tooling, SDKs, sample apps, quick starts, integration templates, and developer-support automation.

Create reference implementations and reusable patterns for common integration needs such as OAuth, webhooks, retries, idempotency, error handling, and observability.

Run technical working sessions with partners, translate complex requirements into clear decisions and action plans, and communicate platform boundaries accurately.

Work closely with Public API Engineering and Product to identify developer friction, validate proposed API designs with realistic use cases, and deliver concise, evidence-backed feedback.

Own a multi-surface developer journey or a portfolio of partner integrations from design through delivery, operational readiness, and iteration.

Improve developer self-service by using support questions, integration telemetry, and qualitative feedback to prioritize what should become documentation, an SDK feature, a product enhancement, or a platform request.

Review designs and code; mentor teammates; and elevate engineering quality in both internal systems and partner-facing artifacts.

Collaborate with Security, Support, and other stakeholders to ensure integrations are safe, observable, and supportable.
