• Make sure the API team works closely with our deep tech teams on code reviews, design, and anything that touches the engine.
• Work alongside product managers to turn vision into scoped, buildable work.
• Push back when scope and reality don't match, and propose better paths when they exist.
• Bring an engineering perspective to product decisions, especially where P2P opens doors centralized apps can't.
• Help the team move fast, using AI tools and quick prototypes to validate ideas.
