About us

splose is the AI-powered practice management platform powering better health care. Trusted by over 25,000+ Allied Health professionals around the world, splose is purpose-built to free clinicians from admin and let them focus on what matters most - helping people. Backed by leading VC funds EVP, Spectrum Equity, and Athletic Ventures we have recently announced a record-breaking $46M Series A raise - the largest Series A of any South Australian SaaS company ever. We’re growing fast and investing in our product, our people, and our global growth.

About you

You know what a healthy developer platform looks like: tiered access, clear governance, and documentation partners can actually build against. You've turned a scattering of one-off integrations into a real ecosystem before, with the discipline to back it with policy, not just intent.

This is a new function at splose, built largely from scratch. Reporting directly to the CPO, you'll own the public API strategy end to end, from access and governance to partner onboarding and marketplace curation, guided by a clear build vs buy vs partner view of where splose invests next. You'll work closely with Engineering, Product, Growth, Design and Customer Success, plus a growing list of external developers and partners, comfortable designing the frameworks as you go.

• Lead end to end onboarding of third-party integrations onto the splose platform
