Developer Experience at Scale Design APIs that feel intuitive, composable, and hard to misuse—serving both early-stage startups and large enterprises.

Performance & Reliability Optimize SDK performance for high-throughput workloads, large memory graphs, and production AI agent systems.

API & Abstraction Design Decide what belongs in the SDK vs the platform. Build clean abstractions over complex systems (vector stores, graphs, memory lifecycle).

Open-Source Leadership Act as the technical steward of the open-source SDK: reviews, RFCs, contribution guidelines, and community standards.

Cross-Team Technical Leadership Work closely with platform, infra, and DevRel to ensure the SDK cleanly integrates with control plane, databases, and deployment models.

Quality & Engineering Excellence Establish best practices around testing, versioning, backwards compatibility, documentation, and release processes.

Requirements Principal-Level Engineering Experience 8+ years of software engineering experience, with clear ownership of critical systems or developer-facing platforms.

Deep Python Expertise Mastery of Python, including async patterns, packaging, typing, performance optimization, and SDK design best practices.

SDK / API Design Track Record Proven experience building and maintaining widely-used SDKs, libraries, or developer platforms.

Distributed Systems Understanding Strong intuition for how SDKs interact with distributed backends, databases, and cloud infrastructure.

AI / Data Systems Familiarity Experience with LLMs, vector databases, graph systems, or data-intensive applications. Technical Leadership Comfortable making high-impact architectural decisions and mentoring senior engineers without heavy management overhead.

Open-Source Experience Prior experience maintaining or leading open-source projects used by external developers. Nice to Have Experience with agent frameworks, vector search, or graph databases Background in developer tools, infra, or platform engineering

Strong opinions about API ergonomics and DX (and the ability to defend them) Experience scaling open-source projects with large external contributor bases

Benefits Top-of-market compensation + meaningful equity

Ownership over a core, business-critical product surface

Direct access to founders and real influence on product direction High autonomy, low bureaucracy, high trust

Opportunity to define the de facto memory SDK for AI agents
