API DevelopmentResearch

About the role

  • This is a hybrid product engineering and GTM role for someone who wants outsized impact at the intersection of all three.
  • You'll be the technical voice customers trust, and the customer voice the engineering team trusts.
  • This role demands high agency, deep customer obsession, and the rare ability to move fluidly between writing a technical product spec, debugging an integration on a customer call, and pitching a CTO on why our API should be core to their stack.

Responsibilities

  • Own API product direction. Define the roadmap for our core search APIs and adjacent surfaces - monitoring, vertical feeds, evaluation tooling, and new primitives we haven't built yet. Decide what ships, when, and why.
  • Set the technical bar. Work closely with engineering on API design, performance, and developer experience. Push back when something isn't good enough
  • Stay in the code. This is a hands-on role. You'll prototype new API primitives and ship production code into the core stack when the highest-leverage thing to do is just build it yourself.
  • Own API product direction.
  • Set the technical bar. Work closely with engineering on API design, performance, and developer experience. Push back when something isn't good enough; ship when it is.
  • The chance to collaborate with a team at the forefront of AI research

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience spanning engineering and product roles, with significant time spent on developer-facing or API products.
  • You can still write production code and want to - this role expects it.
  • You enjoy customer calls, you're sharp at reading what's said and unsaid, and you can hold technical credibility with senior engineers and commercial credibility with executives.
  • You can write a spec, a sales follow-up, and a postmortem with equal clarity.
  • You have a public footprint - open-source, writing, talks - in the AI or developer-tools space.

Compensation

  • is determined by multiple factors assessed during the interview process, with the final offer reflecting these considerations.
