• Guide the team in defining best practices and reference implementations for connectors.
• Work cross-functionally with the Infragraph Platform team to identify and resolve API gaps and with the Graph Engine team to ensure schema compliance.
• Support and mentor a community of external contributors, reviewing third-party contributions for quality and compliance.
• Enable your team's success by removing blockers, managing priorities, and supporting their professional development.
