  • Build and maintain integrations with third-party platforms, identity providers, communication systems, hardware devices, and external data sources.
  • Collaborate with Product, Design, and Engineering leaders to translate customer needs into technical solutions.
  • Mentor engineers, raise engineering standards, and help shape the technical culture of a growing organization.

  • Experience handling sensitive data and building systems where privacy, security, and compliance are architectural requirements.
  • Demonstrated success delivering 0-to-1 products or major platform initiatives in ambiguous environments.
  • Proven ability to influence technical direction, mentor engineers, and lead through collaboration rather than authority.
