What you'll do

• As a Staff Developer Experience Engineer, you’ll own the systems that make that happen-from our SDK architecture and code-generation pipeline to the tooling, documentation, and integrations developers rely on every day.
• This is a deeply technical engineering role, not a traditional Developer Relations position.
• You’ll build and evolve the foundation behind our multi-language SDKs, improve the developer journey across every touchpoint, and remove friction before developers ever encounter it.
• Working closely with Engineering, Product, Partnerships, and Developer Relations, you’ll help define the standards for developer experience across the platform.
• Success in this role means making Deepgram the easiest voice AI platform to build on: faster time to first API call, better SDKs, fewer support issues, and an experience that developers genuinely enjoy using.
• Real-time, streaming SDKs.
• Our SDKs wrap low-latency WebSocket APIs for speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and Voice Agents.
• The hard, interesting parts are streaming, partial and interim results, reconnection and backpressure, and concurrency.

Requirements

• Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work.
• We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here.
• Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do.
• Additionally, we move at the pace of AI.
• Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly.
• This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5.
