We are a high-growth, venture-backed startup solving a core pain point for software companies: making APIs easy to use and well-documented.

• Problem Solving: Go deep on customer use cases, identifying their highest-priority problems and immediately building the relevant products and features to solve them.
• Rapid Development: Move fast by working across several codebases, including our core product and customer-facing tools, to release bug fixes and new features (e.g., fixing a bug in our TypeScript SDK generator one day and adding features to the Docs Frontend the next).
• Product Strategy: Drive our product roadmap by synthesizing customer requests and friction points into actionable, high-leverage engineering efforts, helping us "build something people want."
• Team Building: Work directly with the CEO, CTO, and other founding members to interview and bring in talented new engineers as we grow.

Requirements

• Experience: 3 to 5 years of professional software development experience.
• Technical Stack: Strong proficiency in TypeScript .
• Mindset: Entrepreneurial mindset and highly motivated to work in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
• Customer Focus: Proven ability or strong desire to engage directly with technical customers to understand their needs and solve their problems.
• Adaptability: A demonstrated ability to quickly jump between different codebases and technical challenges.
• Background (Ideal): Experience as a forward-deployed engineer or a former/future founder is highly valued.

Benefits

• Equity & Compensation: Highly competitive salary ($170,000 - $230,000) and meaningful equity participation (0.1%-0.3%).
• Founders' Environment: Opportunity to scale a company alongside founders and industry veterans, with significant influence on technical and business strategy.
• Food Perks: Enjoy complimentary breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the office.
• Insurance: Full health, dental, and vision insurance benefits.
