• Translate complex problems into intuitive, repeatable, and low-code/AI-assisted configuration experiences for partners, builders, and customers.

• Collaborate deeply with engineering and design to define requirements, provide product direction, make tradeoffs, and deliver high-quality platform capabilities and UX.

• Partner with Technical Solutions Consultants and Partners to understand real-world integration patterns, identify reusable components, and increase build-time efficiency.
