About the Role
Lead the Global Partnerships engineering organization across Solutions Engineering, Integrations, and API Platform. Combine product engineering judgment, technical depth, customer empathy, and operating discipline to make our partnership ecosystem easier to build on and scale.
Responsibilities
- Set the strategy and portfolio for partner integrations, APIs, developer experience and Solutions Engineering, making clear trade-offs across business value, partner commitments, reliability, and capacity.
- Build a scalable Solutions Engineering model with disciplined intake, prioritization, escalation, SLAs, and communication.
- Identify opportunities to build a better operating model by collaborating with support, RSS and other cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
- Lead the technical direction for API Platform and Integrations, and how agentic development can transform the developer experience both internally as well as for external developers using our platform.
- Turn recurring partner’s identified problems and gaps into durable improvements in product, process and documentation.
- Build trusted relationships across Partnerships, RSS, Product, Support, Security, Legal and Engineering.
- Make timely decisions when priorities conflict and communicate outcomes, risks, and trade-offs clearly.
- Lead and develop managers and senior technical leaders, strengthen delegation and succession, and earn the opportunity to expand the organization’s scope through demonstrated results.
Requirements
- Significant experience leading engineering organizations that include multiple teams and managers.
- Experience with APIs, distributed systems, platform engineering, developer experience, integrations, or another technically complex B2B ecosystem.
- Demonstrated success creating prioritization, escalation and operating mechanisms in a high-demand environment.
- Strong product judgment, the ability to distinguish a one-off request from a repeatable product or platform opportunity.
- Strong written and verbal communication, including the ability to communicate clearly with executives, engineers, partners, and non-technical stakeholders.
- A track record of hiring, coaching, and developing managers and senior engineers.
- Enough technical depth to review architecture, ask incisive questions, assess risk, and make sound trade-offs without needing to be the primary implementer.
