## What they're looking for

- Own the API platform roadmap: label creation, MCP, SDKs, and developer docs
- Own MCP as a product: define what ownership means, how it evolves, and how it fits alongside our other integration paths
- Define and maintain platform standards other product teams use when extending the API surface, including teams building adjacent services like reporting APIs, EDD, and Autopilot
- Set a clear, consistent standard for how developers are expected to test integrations across carriers
- Partner with engineering leadership on platform architecture decisions and long-term technical investments
- Build and maintain a clear point of view on developer experience: onboarding, docs quality, SDK coverage, and MCP capabilities
