📋 Description

• Lead Deel’s API program across the company, establishing ownership, accountability, and operational structure. • Create and enforce scalable API standards and governance practices (naming, versioning, consistency). • Design and implement a comprehensive API evaluation system to track maturity and identify gaps. • Collaborate with product and engineering leaders to drive alignment on API priorities and cross-team dependencies. • Ensure APIs are consistent, performant, and reliable, with a seamless experience for both internal teams and external developers. • Work closely with Developer Experience engineers to ensure the right tools and processes are in place to support API builders. • Conduct customer research and internal discovery to surface integration pain points before they become problems. • Own API quality conversations across the org—spot issues early, bring the right people together, and drive resolution. • Be a strategic partner in defining how Deel’s platform evolves to support white-label, partner, and enterprise-grade use cases.
