• Advocate for developer experience across APIs, SDKs, documentation, onboarding, and adoption.
• Define product direction, requirements, and acceptance criteria while making build-versus-buy, scalability, and extensibility trade-offs with engineering and architecture.
• Use AI across discovery, analysis, and documentation, including determining what platform capabilities AI agents can access and how they remain governed.
