That covers everything from how accounts and identity are set up to the APIs and SDKs partners integrate with. You will work mostly in Go services, with some TypeScript and React.
You will help shape the plan as well as deliver it, and you will own the onboarding experience while dedicated teams support with domain expertise. Exciting challenges wait in central parts of the onboarding process, such as identity, accounts and payments. You will work closely with respective teams to design APIs, challenge existing assumptions, and ship together.
