* Publish and maintain API contracts, support the Developer Portal, and collaborate across multiple technical domains.
* Lead documentation, standardisation, proof-of-concept efforts, and mentor architects, advise contractors and development leads.
* Operate across domains to support discovery, advise stakeholders, assess risks, and ensure we “do the right thing.”
