• Ability to balance short-term partner needs with long-term platform quality and leverage.
• Clear, effective communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Bonus Points For

• Experience building or scaling partner integration programs.
• Familiarity with developer platforms, security products, or identity-related systems.
• Prior experience working directly with external partners or customers on complex integrations.

• Act as the technical counterpart in partnership discussions, validating feasibility, scope, and tradeoffs.
• Support deal progression when needed through design proposals, architecture reviews, and technical assessments.

Build and Run the Integration Program

• Establish and own an external integrations program that tracks work reliably across the full partnership lifecycle.
• Define processes, roles, and execution models that enable multiple integrations to run in parallel without heroics.

• Ensure integrations are well-designed, maintainable, and aligned with platform, security, and product standards.
• Collaborate closely with Developer Platform and Cognition teams to land changes cleanly and sustainably.

Raise the Bar on Documentation and Enablement

• Own engineering documentation that supports Strategic Partnerships, external partners, and internal engineers throughout integration work.
• Build and maintain reference architectures, integration guides, and design patterns that reduce ambiguity and rework.

Continuously Improve How Integrations Work

• Identify recurring integration patterns and turn them into reusable approaches.
• Use proofs of concept to explore new integration models and reduce risk ahead of production investment.
• Incrementally evolve integrations toward more plug-and-play, self-service experiences.
