What You Will Do
- Own the end-to-end technical execution of selected partner integrations as part of Veo’s Public API initiative, from early discovery through delivery and iteration.
- Work directly with external partners to understand their technical environments, constraints, and goals, and help design integration approaches that work in practice.
- Build production-quality solutions across backend, infrastructure, and occasionally frontend, adapting to the needs of each integration.
- Act as a technical counterpart in partner discussions, helping clarify what is possible, what is not, and what trade-offs exist.
- Collaborate closely with the Engineering Manager, fellow engineers and a Technical Product Manager to shape scope, priorities, and sequencing of work.
- Help deciding when to implement targeted solutions versus when to push work into broader platform capabilities, contributing to those platform improvements where appropriate.
- Proactively identify technical risks, gaps, or blockers in partner integrations and work to resolve them.
- Feed insights from partner work back into the team, helping inform roadmap discussions, technical direction, and documentation.
- Contribute to improving developer-facing documentation, examples, and patterns that support future integrations.
- Occasionally travel to work more closely with partners when hands-on collaboration adds value.
What You Could Bring
- Strong full-stack software engineering fundamentals, with experience building and shipping production systems end to end.
- Comfort working as a generalist, moving across backend systems, APIs, integrations, frontend and infrastructure as needed.
- Experience in building- , consuming- , or supporting API-based integrations.
- Experience with Python and TypeScript (core product languages) and a willingness to work with different tech-stacks, as needed, to potentially match the environment of a partner organization.
- Ability to operate in ambiguous or evolving problem spaces, where requirements are not fully defined upfront.
- Good judgment around scope and trade-offs, including when to build something specific and when to step back and propose a simpler or more scalable approach.
- Confidence engaging directly with partners or customers in technical contexts, including navigating changing requirements and constraints.
- A mindset oriented toward making others successful, with the resilience to stay with a problem until it works in practice.
- Experience translating loosely defined needs into concrete technical solutions.
- Comfort embedding closely with teams outside your own, while still maintaining strong ties to core engineering.
- Clear communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Willingness to occasionally travel to work more closely with partners.
