• Partner with engineering to build scalable, observable API infrastructure.
• Collaborate with security, compliance, sales, and partnerships to govern API access, ensure regulatory adherence, and enable go-to-market for API-powered products.

• Conduct developer research, run hackathons, and build feedback loops to identify pain points and opportunities for new connectivity capabilities.
