- **Collect feedback**: Act as the voice of the developer community — surfacing insights that shape our roadmap and improve the developer experience.

**What You Bring**
- Background in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent technical experience.
- Comfortable with Python or JavaScript and testing APIs, SDKs, or integrations.
