The Role

We are looking for a generalist with strong product sense who is AI-native: someone who uses AI tools daily and thinks naturally about how agents interact with software.

You will own the developer and agent experience end-to-end: console, SDKs (Python, TypeScript, Go), CLI, docs, examples, onboarding, error messages, and the feedback loop from customer debugging into product improvements.

This is not a specialist role. The work spans frontend, backend, APIs, docs, customer calls, and product judgment. The job is to turn "the platform can do this" into "a developer and their agent can actually get this done."

What You'll Own

• Console workflows: API keys, compute sessions, usage, templates, logs, debugging.
• SDK and CLI ergonomics across Python, TypeScript, Go.
• Quickstarts, examples, docs, and migration guides.
• Agent experience: predictable APIs, machine-readable errors, recoverable failures.
• Customer-facing error messages and diagnostics.
• Early customer onboarding and repeated-friction reduction.

You Are A Fit If

• You can write code and you use AI tools daily to amplify your output. You direct it well, understand what it produces, and know when it's wrong. If you're not AI-native, this isn't the right role.
• You pick up new languages, frameworks, and tools quickly.
• You care deeply about how software feels to use.
• You have taste for the tiny details that make a workflow feel obvious rather than hostile. You sketch the user's workflow before writing code.
• You value docs and examples as part of the product, not an afterthought.
• You can turn messy founder/customer context into clear shipped increments.
• You communicate clearly and keep the team informed. When something breaks, people hear it from you first.
• You stay constructive when requirements change. Uncertainty doesn't block you.
• You think about the business, not just the code. You spot opportunities, seek out the actual workflow, and prototype solutions within constraints.

Useful Experience

• Full-stack web development (React, TypeScript, Node, or similar).
• Building SDKs or CLIs in Python, TypeScript, or Go.
• Developer tools, API design, and developer experience.
• AI coding tools and understanding how agents consume APIs.
• Agent workflows, code interpreters, or isolated execution environments.

What we Offer

• Competitive salary in the geographies we hire in, plus meaningful early-stage equity.
• Shape the developer and agent experience of a high-potential startup from day one.
• High autonomy, high trust. You get a problem and the space to solve it, not a task list.
• A small team where everyone wears multiple hats, with direct access to founders.
• Distributed across Singapore and Europe; self-sufficient, async-friendly.
