About this role

Role Overview

The Staff Developer Experience Engineer at Deepgram plays a pivotal role in removing friction and shaping the journey for developers using the leading voice AI platform. This remote position within the United States suits an experienced engineer with an AI-first mindset who excels at building resilient, scalable developer tooling and multi-language SDK architectures.

Key Responsibilities

Own the direction of developer experience by setting the DX roadmap and serving as the technical lead without direct reports.
Design and maintain the SDK code-generation architecture to ensure predictable, low-cost multi-language library releases.
Define the quality bar, cross-language parity, versioning discipline, and observability for all platform SDKs.
Identify and eliminate systemic causes of developer friction across whole segments before users encounter them.
Build internal and external tooling, including CI pipelines, starter repositories, and context frameworks for AI coding agents.
Serve as the primary technical voice on developer-facing surfaces for cross-functional stakeholders in Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Partnerships.

Requirements

Proven track record of owning developer-facing tooling across multiple languages, including libraries, SDK generators, templates, and release automation.
Experience integrating AI as real infrastructure into daily workflows, such as agentic pipelines or custom generators.
Strong instinct for building reusable systems like automation, pipelines, or architectures that outlive individual tenure.
Ability to apply first-principles reasoning to systems, viewing SDKs, code generation, and partner ecosystems with clear feedback loops and boundaries.
Solid production ownership instincts, treating public SDKs with rigorous observability, backward-compatibility discipline, and incident response.
Broad technical range capable of handling developer tooling, content, demos, and community needs.

Nice to Have

Experience building real-time, streaming SDKs wrapping low-latency WebSocket APIs for speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and voice agents.
Background working in the open on public GitHub repositories, managing external contributors, issues, and pull requests.
