About the role

  • Deepgram wins when developers can go from API key to production with as little friction as possible.
  • This is a deeply technical engineering role, not a traditional Developer Relations position.
  • Working closely with Engineering, Product, Partnerships, and Developer Relations, you'll help define the standards for developer experience across the platform.

Responsibilities

  • Own the direction of developer experience.
  • Set the DX roadmap (what we build, in what order, and why) and act as the technical lead for the area without direct reports.
  • Own the SDK code-generation architecture. Design and own the system that produces our SDKs, so every supported library ships predictably and adding a new language is a known, low-cost effort rather than a one-off project.
  • Set the standard for how developers experience the platform. Define the quality bar, cross-language parity, versioning and release discipline, and observability across all of our SDKs. These are the standards the rest of the team builds against.
  • Build the tooling the whole team relies on. The code-generation pipeline, CI and supporting infrastructure, starter repositories, and context that both human developers and AI coding agents can build on (including emerging standards like llms.txt).
  • Design for resilience and longevity. Build documentation, automation, and architecture that the whole team can operate and extend, so the work lasts and scales beyond any one person.
  • Be the technical voice into Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Partnerships. Give cross-functional stakeholders the context and technical input they need to make good decisions about the developer-facing surface across our partner ecosystem.
  • An instinct to build reusable systems. Your standout work is something that outlived you. It could be a generator, automation, pipeline, or architecture that others adopted.
  • First-principles reasoning about systems. You think about SDKs, code generation, and partner ecosystems as systems. They have inputs, outputs, feedback loops, and boundaries.

Requirements

  • A track record of owning developer-facing tooling across multiple languages.
  • You go deep on developer experience and tooling, and you can pick up developer content, demos, or community work when the moment calls for it.
  • and the engineers around you get better at DX because of how you work.

Company info

  • AI as part of how you build.
