Come join us and help shape a safer, simpler digital future.

The Partnership Engineering team owns the engineering surface area required to make external partnerships and integrations successful from early Strategic Partnerships discussions through GA launch. We provide technical validation, build shared integration infrastructure, and enable scalable, repeatable integrations through strong documentation, tooling, and direct partner engagement.

This team sits at the intersection of product, platform, and external partners. We work across new platform systems, Developer Platform capabilities, browser integrations, and SDK surfaces to ensure integrations are secure, extensible, and built to last.

As a Senior Developer on Partnership Engineering, you’ll design and build the integration patterns, components, and tooling that power high-impact external partnerships. You’ll work directly with partners during active integrations, contribute to shared infrastructure, and help turn one-off deals into reusable capabilities.

This is a senior individual contributor role with broad scope. You’ll operate independently, shape technical direction within integrations, and influence platform evolution based on real-world partner needs.

How we’re using AI today

Our Engineering, Product, and Design teams are thoughtfully integrating AI across the full software and product development lifecycle to move faster without sacrificing quality or security. In practice, that looks like engineers using AI-assisted coding tools to accelerate reviews and catch bugs earlier, product managers synthesizing user research at scale, and designers rapidly prototyping and iterating with AI-generated mockups. We approach AI the same way we approach security: with clear principles, human accountability at every consequential decision point, and rigorous evaluation before anything ships to customers.

This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US.

What we're looking for:

Strong backend or full-stack engineering experience building APIs, SDKs, platform capabilities, and integrations with AI-native technologies (LLM APIs, agent frameworks, embeddings, or retrieval systems)

A track record of delivering complex integrations across organizational boundaries

Comfort engaging directly with external technical stakeholders and representing engineering decisions clearly

Experience designing secure systems, including authentication, authorization, and policy-driven access models

Ability to reason about partner architectures and translate them into pragmatic integration designs

Clear technical writing and documentation skills

Strong ownership mindset you drive work forward without waiting for perfect clarity

Sound judgment on when to build reusable infrastructure versus solving a narrow partner need

Experience building or maintaining developer platforms or SDK ecosystems

Familiarity with browser integrations or extension architectures

Experience migrating systems to new platform primitives or security models

Hands-on experience integrating with external AI companies or AI-native technologies such as LLM APIs, agent frameworks, embeddings, or retrieval systems

What you can expect:

Lead technical design and implementation for complex external integrations spanning SDKs, service accounts, browser surfaces, new platform systems, and AI-native platforms

Partner closely with the Strategic Partnerships team to validate feasibility, assess partner architectures, and shape practical integration approaches

Build and extend platform components required to support in-flight integrations

Identify common integration patterns and abstract them into reusable infrastructure

Contribute to the external integrations program, including tracking lifecycle progress from initial discussion through GA

Produce clear technical artifacts (design docs, sequence diagrams, integration guides) that support both internal alignment and partner execution

Improve self-service documentation and tooling so integrations become increasingly plug-and-play

Support partner migrations to new platform capabilities, including new platform systems-based systems with auditing and policy controls

Use focused POCs to de-risk new integration patterns, including integrations with external AI platforms and model providers, and inform platform investments
