Full Job Description

đź“‹ Description

  • • This is a high-ownership engineering role at a fast-growing, open-source AI engineering platform.
  • • The platform is trusted by thousands of development teams worldwide, and the SDKs you'll own are downloaded millions of times each month.
  • • The SDKs run in production environments ranging from serverless functions to long-running agent loops.
  • • They must be rock-solid: minimal CPU and memory overhead, zero tolerance for failure, and a developer experience that feels effortless.
  • • When you ship, thousands of developers benefit the same day.
  • • Own the Python and TypeScript SDKs end-to-end — reliability, performance, and developer experience.
  • • Design APIs developers love — naming conventions, parameter structure, breaking-change communication, and documentation.
  • • Drive OpenTelemetry-based integrations — architect and implement framework integrations across the AI/LLM ecosystem.
  • • Maintain and evolve the SDK release lifecycle — versioning strategy, packaging, CI/CD pipelines, compatibility testing, and automated release management.
  • • Performance engineer the SDK — profile, identify bottlenecks, and reduce latency and memory footprint.
  • • Engage the open-source community — triage GitHub issues, review external PRs, write developer-facing docs, and represent the project on public channels.
  • • Collaborate cross-functionally — work closely with product and data teams to translate platform capabilities into clean SDK abstractions.
  • • This role is a high-ownership engineering role with a focus on designing, implementing, and shipping production-grade SDKs.
  • • The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of designing, implementing, and shipping production-grade SDKs.

  • • The candidate must be able to be onsite in Berlin approximately one week per month.
  • • The company is looking for a Senior Software Engineer (SDK) to join their team.
  • • The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including at least 2 years building or maintaining SDKs or client libraries.
  • • The candidate must have a proven track record of designing, implementing, and shipping production-grade SDKs.
  • • The role requires strong written and verbal communication skills, as well as the ability to work effectively in a small, distributed team across EU timezones.

  • • The company offers a competitive salary of €90,000 – €160,000 per year, depending on experience and location.
  • • The company also offers equity participation in a well-funded, high-growth startup.
  • • The company has a flexible, remote-first work environment across Europe.
  • • The company is looking for a candidate who is legally authorized to work in the EU — no visa sponsorship is available.
