Responsibilities

  • Own the design and evolution of our public APIs and SDKs, including versioning, deprecation, and backwards-compatibility promises.

  • Write code. Build sample apps, run integrations, and experience rough edges personally before customers.
  • Review documentation by reading it as a developer and fix misleading or incomplete parts.
  • Analyze support tickets and forum patterns to treat recurring questions as design defects.

  • Built or led APIs and SDKs that are robust, scalable, and easy for external developers to adopt
  • Strong product taste for developer interfaces, clear abstractions, consistent resource design, and machine-readable errors
  • Empathetic to developers; can identify confusing documentation, workflows, or product behavior
  • Experience directly with customer and partner developers to translate needs into platform improvements
  • Experience integrating products with third-party enterprise applications with reliable production integrations
  • Clear writing and preference for concise specs, accurate documentation, and guiding developers on next steps
