No, they're less recruiters or negotiators and more as scouts.
They are supposed to go out and find interesting things in (or adjacent to) your space, get to know them, understand how they measure up among their peers and competitors, and bring all that information back to the company.
They're all waiting for the company - usually the CEO, CPO, or CRO - to say something like "we have a need for X."
Background: I was at Okta through the Stormpath, Azuqua, and Auth0 acquisitions. I didn't have a role in any beyond knowing the M&A team and observing it throughout.
You just literally described recruiting (for anything other than low/mid level employees).
One thing I'd like to see is the possibility to run the coroutines in the main thread, without spawning any new threads in the thread pool. It might seem strange but sometimes you just need to do I/O stuff concurrently in a place where you're not allowed to spawn other threads.
Other than that congrats on the release, I hope you keep working on it!
