📋 Description

• Lead the team that makes Lumin the best platform to build on in the CFI space. • Set strategy, lead and grow a team of developers, and get into the work when it counts. • Shape SDK architecture, present to prospects alongside Sales, or co-present roadmap at the SDK advisory council. • Partner with the extensibility product manager to define and execute a roadmap that elevates Lumin’s developer platform to industry leadership. • Own technical strategy and quality of Lumin’s SDK, ensuring it is well-documented, extensible, and designed for developer success. • Build Lumin’s developer platform from the ground up, including sandbox environments, quick-start tooling, API explorer, and a DevEx portal. • Champion developer experience metrics in partnership with the PM, including adoption rates, time-to-first-call, integration success, and developer NPS. • Serve as Lumin’s technical face with external developers, clients, and vendor partners. • Collaborate across product, engineering, and marketing to integrate the developer platform into Lumin’s broader go-to-market strategy. • Foster a culture of developer empathy as the team builds for developers.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field. MS degree or MBA preferred. • Demonstrated experience building and delivering developer platforms, SDKs, or APIs, with 8+ years of software engineering or related leadership experience. • Strong engineering background with hands-on experience building or owning APIs, SDKs, or developer platforms. • Experience building and managing technical teams in a player-coach model, able to set strategy and roll up your sleeves when the team needs it. • Data-driven approach to developer experience, with fluency with metrics such as time-to-first-call, developer NPS, integration success rates, and adoption curves. • Deep understanding of what great developer experience looks like, with strong opinions on documentation, sandbox tooling, onboarding, and community. • Outstanding communication skills, equally comfortable in a whiteboard session with engineers, a roadmap presentation with clients, or a finalist sales meeting with a credit union CTO. • Familiarity with the AI developer tooling landscape and ability to translate those insights into platform positioning and team practices. • Naturally cross-functional, able to work fluidly with product, data, SRE, security, and sales without losing momentum. • Experience in fintech, banking technology, or platforms serving financial institutions is a plus, but not required. Curiosity about the CFI space is.
