About youYou know what a healthy developer platform looks like: tiered access, clear governance, and documentation partners can actually build against. You've turned a scattering of one-off integrations into a real ecosystem before, with the discipline to back it with policy, not just intent.

Reporting directly to the CPO, you'll own the public API strategy end to end, from access and governance to partner onboarding and marketplace curation, guided by a clear build vs buy vs partner view of where splose invests next. You'll work closely with Engineering, Product, Growth, Design and Customer Success, plus a growing list of external developers and partners, comfortable designing the frameworks as you go.
