What you'll do
Define and drive the technical direction for FGA DevEx across open source and: SaaS, and turn it into a roadmap with the engineering manager and the product team.
Build support for that direction across the team, the FGA group and open source community
Mentor the team's senior engineers, and raise the level of everyone around you.
Establish how a new team builds software, from design reviews and coding: standards to how we test and ship, and set the quality bar.
Make the calls that are hard to undo: when an API is ready to ship across every language, how it evolves, and when to deprecate.
Be the voice of developer experience across FGA: partner with the Core team on API design and with internal teams such as Integrations, and flag developer friction wherever you see it.
