Software Engineer — Engineering & Developer Relations

Software Engineer — Engineering & Developer Relations

Department: Engineering
Location: India (Remote, EST-aligned hours)
Type: Full-Time

About the Role

We're building the connective layer between platforms — a product that lets developers integrate with 200+ third-party services through a single API, focused for AI agents. We're looking for a Software Engineer with a Developer Relations edge — someone who can build great software and articulate why it matters.

This is an engineering role first. You'll write production code, ship features, and solve hard problems across the stack. But you'll also be the voice that helps developers understand, adopt, and love our platform. You'll create content, build demos, write technical guides, and engage with the developer community — all grounded in the credibility of someone who actually builds the product.

You should be deeply fluent in the modern AI tooling landscape — not just aware of Claude Code, MCP, Skills, and the wave of agent frameworks, but actively using them, forming opinions, and pushing their limits. You should also have a sharp eye for the competitive landscape — the kind of person who reverse-engineers how other products work, identifies gaps, and turns those insights into action.

This isn't a role where you sit in one lane. We need someone who writes code in the morning, records a demo in the afternoon, and files a competitor teardown by evening.

What You'll Be Doing

• Shipping product features end-to-end in TypeScript and Python, from design through implementation to production
• Building core platform infrastructure — APIs, services, internal tooling, and the systems that power our product day-to-day
• Creating developer-facing content — technical blog posts, tutorials, example repositories, video walkthroughs, and documentation that developers actually want to read
• Building with and for the AI ecosystem — creating use cases, demos, and tooling using Claude Code, MCP servers, agent frameworks, and other emerging AI technologies
• Running competitor analysis — systematically evaluating competing platforms, scraping public data where appropriate, mapping feature gaps, and turning findings into product and positioning insights
• Understanding the product end-to-end — you'll develop a deep mental model of what the platform does, where it falls short, and where the biggest opportunities lie. You'll advocate for those improvements internally
• Engaging with the developer community — answering questions, gathering feedback, representing the product at meetups or online forums, and building genuine relationships with the people who use what we build
• Experimenting constantly — prototyping new approaches, evaluating new technologies, and bringing ideas to the team on how we can build better, faster, and communicate it more effectively

What We're Looking For

Must-Haves

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience with a strong track record of shipping production software
• Deep proficiency in TypeScript and Python — these are your primary languages. You write clean, well-structured code in both and can switch between them fluidly
• Hands-on proficiency with modern AI development tools — you actively use Claude Code, Cursor, MCP, and similar tooling. You understand how AI agents work, how tool-use and function-calling fit together, and you stay on top of this space as it evolves weekly
• Strong written and verbal communication skills — you can explain complex technical concepts clearly, write compelling technical content, and are comfortable being a public-facing voice for the product
• Eagerness to do developer relations work — this isn't a pure engineering seat. You're excited about creating content, building community, and helping developers succeed. You see dev rel as a craft worth getting great at, not a chore bolted onto your "real" job
• Competitor analysis and research instincts — you know how to systematically evaluate other products, scrape and gather public information, and synthesize findings into actionable insights. You have the curiosity to dig deep into how things work under the hood
• Product thinking — you naturally look at what you're building from the user's perspective, identify friction, spot gaps, and advocate for what would make the experience better
• High velocity — you ship fast, learn fast, and don't get stuck. You know when something is good enough to ship and when it needs more work
• Self-directed and motivated — you don't need someone to manage your day. You find the most important thing to work on and you execute
• Experience with Node.js backend development and server-side TypeScript

Strong Preferences

• Experience with web scraping — tools like Puppeteer, Playwright, Cheerio, or Python-based scraping libraries (BeautifulSoup, Scrapy)
• Familiarity with databases — PostgreSQL, Redis, or similar in production environments
• Experience with Docker and container orchestration (Kubernetes)
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure — AWS or GCP
• Experience working with third-party APIs — REST, GraphQL, OAuth flows, webhooks, and the general messiness of working with external platforms
• Exposure to event-driven architectures — webhooks, queues, async processing
• Prior developer relations, technical writing, or community-building experience — formal or informal
• Open-source contributions, a technical blog, a YouTube channel, or personal projects that demonstrate curiosity, initiative, and communication ability

Who You Are

• You're an engineer who can communicate. You don't just build things — you explain them. You can write a technical blog post that's as well-crafted as your code. You're comfortable on camera, in a Discord channel, or on stage at a meetup.
• You're obsessively curious. You learn new technologies for fun. You've already tried the latest AI tools before most people have heard of them. You read changelogs, try betas, and have opinions on things that launched last week.
• You build fast. You bias toward action. You'd rather ship something imperfect and iterate than spend weeks planning the perfect architecture. You know how to balance speed with quality.
• You think like a product person. You don't just ask "does this work?" — you ask "does this make sense for the developer using it?" You instinctively spot UX friction, missing features, and competitive gaps.
• You're a natural investigator. You enjoy pulling apart competing products to understand how they work, where they're strong, and where they're vulnerable. You turn curiosity into structured analysis.
• You embrace AI deeply. You're not just using AI tools — you're building with them and for them. You understand the MCP ecosystem, agent workflows, and how the development stack is shifting around AI-native tooling.
• You're a team player. You'll be part of a small group where communication, trust, and collaboration matter. You give and receive feedback well, and you make the people around you better.
• You're motivated. You bring energy. You don't wait for permission. You see what needs to be done and you do it.

Working Hours

This role is based in India, but we need significant overlap with Eastern Standard Time (EST). You should be comfortable working hours that allow for real-time collaboration with the team during EST working hours.

Why Join Us

You'll be joining a small, high-impact team building the platform that developers rely on. You'll ship real product, shape how developers experience it, and have the freedom to experiment and grow across both engineering and dev rel. If you want a role where you build and tell the story — where your code and your content both move the needle — this is it.
