Staff Software Engineer, Ecosystem

Role overview Set technical direction for an external developer platform and its integrations ecosystem, shaping the APIs, partner experience, and shared foundations that other products and services rely on. This senior individual contributor role combines architecture leadership with hands-on engineering and cross-team influence; it does not include direct people management.

Responsibilities - Define the technical strategy for APIs and the app ecosystem in line with partner needs and business priorities. - Lead platform changes across engineering teams, building alignment, planning rollouts, and carrying work through implementation. - Identify capability gaps and turn them into scoped, prioritized platform proposals informed by partner and integrator needs. - Write and review design documents, explaining architectural trade-offs and risks to technical and nontechnical audiences. - Contribute code and set expectations for quality, security, observability, reliability, and system health. - Mentor engineers through design and code reviews, address technical debt, and help guide incidents through resolution and follow-up.

Requirements - Senior or Staff-level engineering experience, including leadership of substantial cross-team technical initiatives. - Experience building and scaling external-facing API products and integrating with third-party APIs. - Experience designing and operating large-scale systems, including enterprise-grade platforms. - Strong proficiency in at least one programming language, such as Python, Java, Go, or Elixir. - Sound technical judgment and the ability to gain alignment without formal authority. - Clear communication that connects technical decisions to business and partner needs.

Nice to have GraphQL experience is strongly preferred; Elixir experience is a bonus.
