• Architect and scale an API-first integrations platform, enabling seamless connections with procurement, P2P, VMS, ERP, and HRIS systems alongside agent-to-agent (A2A/MCP) explorations.
• Embed compliance by design across all markets, building worker classification safeguards, secure vaults, and custom contract capabilities directly into the product.
• Act as the executive engineering voice in client face-offs, joining strategic sales deals, security reviews, and C-level conversations with CTOs, CIOs, and Procurement leaders.
• Modernize back-office tools and operational workflows using AI and automation to lower our cost-to-serve and empower internal teams.
