Deployed Engineer - Build Next-Gen API & SDK Infrastructure | $170K-$210K + Equity

Are you an ambitious TypeScript engineer who thrives in fast-paced startup environments? Do you love solving real customer problems, scaling products, and contributing to high-growth businesses? If so, this could be your dream role.
Why You Should Apply

Join a YCombinator-backed devtools startup that's scaling from $1M to $10M ARR while working with cutting-edge AI and API technologies. This is an opportunity to be at the heart of API innovation, collaborating with top-tier SaaS startups-including Cohere, ElevenLabs, Webflow, and Merge.dev-and shaping the future of how developers interact with APIs.
The Role

As a Deployed Engineer, you'll be the face of our technology, working directly with engineering leaders-from CTOs and VPs of Engineering to YC founders-helping them integrate our platform and enhance their developer experience. You'll have the chance to write code across multiple codebases, improve SDKs, and contribute to open-source projects.
What You'll Do:
  • Be a technical advisor and trusted partner for high-growth startups adopting our API infrastructure.
  • Work across multiple backend and API-related codebases, implementing new features and resolving complex bugs.
  • Influence the product roadmap by integrating customer feedback directly into engineering decisions.
  • Build our team-work closely with the CEO, CTO, and founding engineers to bring in world-class technical talent.
What We're Looking For
  • 2-8 years of software engineering experience, ideally in a high-velocity startup or a company with a high technical bar.
  • Strong experience with TypeScript and a willingness to be a polyglot (Python, Rust, etc.).
  • Expertise in OpenAPI, Conjure (Palantir), or Smithy (AWS) for API development.
  • A mix of technical prowess and strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate directly with customers.
  • Experience working on APIs and SDKs, with a deep understanding of developer tooling.
  • A preference for in-person collaboration-we work from our Williamsburg, Brooklyn office.
Compensation & Benefits
  • Salary: $170K - $210K + Equity (0.1% - 0.3%)
  • YC-backed, Series A funding ($13.3M raised)
  • Living Proximity Bonus - Get $18,000 per year if you live near the office.
  • Daily Meals - Enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the office.
  • Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • Unlimited Vacation - Take the time you need to perform at your best.
Interview Process
  • Phone Screen with a Founder
  • Technical Interview: Coding Challenge
  • Technical Interview: System Design (Decomposition)
  • On-Site Work Trial (Flexible - part-time, weekends, or short trial options available)
  • Offer Extended & Onboarding
  • Why This Role is Different
    • Real Customer Impact - You'll be a key technical advocate, not just writing code but shaping developer experiences.
    • Founder-Led Culture - Many of our engineers are former or future founders.
    • Cutting-Edge Stack - Work with Claude + Bedrock (LLMs), Next.js, FastAPI, Algolia, Prisma ORM, AWS, and more.
    • Fast Growth & Career Acceleration - Be part of a team scaling 10x in revenue and impact.
