 * Engage directly with customers and hyperscale/data center operators, understanding their challenges and ensuring our platform solves real-world problems at scale

 * Push the boundaries of AI + infrastructure convergence, integrating advanced analytics with connected hardware systems to create differentiated, end-to-end solutions

What you will bring:

 * Platform SDK ownership: Define and manage the SDK roadmap aligned with our platform strategy, ensuring seamless integration with APIs, telemetry systems, and orchestration tools to translate platform capabilities into clear business outcomes.

 * Analytics enablement: Collaborate with data engineering and analytics teams to expose platform metrics, logs, and events through SDKs, enabling internal teams and external partner/customer developers to build custom dashboards, alerts, analytics tracking and automation.

 * Cross-functional leadership: Partner with engineering, product management, and customer success teams to prioritize features, resolve technical challenges, and deliver high-impact releases.

 * Customer engagement: Act as the voice of the developer, gathering feedback from enterprise customers, partners, and internal stakeholders to inform product decisions through informed value propositions and use cases.

 * Security & compliance : Work with security and compliance teams to ensure SDKs meet enterprise-grade standards for authentication, authorization, and data handling.

 * Committee leader : Represent Eaton in open-source projects that are key to the platform, such as OCP sub-committees for RedFish.

 * Lifecycle management: Own versioning, release planning, and backward compatibility strategies for SDKs across multiple platforms.

 * Market awareness: Stay informed on trends in data center automation, observability, and developer tooling to maintain competitive advantage.
