  • At least 4 years of experience focused on backend systems, APIs, or platform products.
  • Proven track record delivering SaaS platform features at scale in a B2B or enterprise context.
  • Deep understanding of RESTful API design, webhooks, async messaging, and modern integration patterns.
  • Hands-on experience with API management platforms such as Apigee, AWS API Gateway, Kong, or MuleSoft.
  • Ability to build investment cases based on ROI modeling, market sizing, and competitive differentiation.
  • Experience leading API or platform product strategy and reading technical documentation like OpenAPI/Swagger.
