Job description

About Sent

Sent is an infrastructure for sending A2P messages across SMS, WhatsApp, and RCS through a single unified API. Our intelligent routing model automates channel selection based on deliverability and cost, ensuring lower cost and global reach without any channel-specific integrations.

We recently closed a $12M Series A backed by Companyon Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, UIF, and others. We're hiring to build the best infrastructure to replace multi-channel messaging stacks.

The Role

We're hiring a Developer advocate to be the technical voice of Sent among developers. The job is to produce a steady stream of technical content, code, demos, posts, videos, talks, and to engage with developers where they actually hang out: Hacker News, X, Reddit, Discord servers, GitHub.

You'll write the tutorial that ranks for "how to send WhatsApp from Node.js". You'll attend events, conferences, hackathons, and host some in-house. You'll build the demo that gets passed around in a Slack channel. You'll be in the comments when someone asks how Sent compares to Twilio, and you'll have a useful answer ready.

What you'll do

• Publish technical content on a regular cadence: tutorials, comparison posts, deep dives, working demos, sample apps

• Maintain a strong personal presence on X, YouTube, Linkedin, other dev media channels, building an audience of developers who care about messaging infrastructure

• Show up at developer conferences and meetups, sometimes speaking, sometimes running a booth, sometimes both

• Host and co-host events and strategic hackathons, embedding Sent in the dev ecosystem

• Own the SDK and quickstart developer experience end to end, and feed friction back to engineering

• Run office hours, livestreams, or whatever format works to get builders engaged with the product
  

What you bring

• At least 4 years working as a developer, with at least 1-2 of those years in DevRel, developer marketing, or as a public-facing technical IC

• You ship code. You can build a working integration in a weekend and write up how you did it on Monday

• A real portfolio of public technical content: blog posts, repos, talks, videos, or a following you've built yourself

• Strong writing. You can explain a webhook signature flow without making the reader want to die

• Comfort with messaging, telecom, or API infrastructure is a plus but not required

Our Commitment to You

• Meaningful equity with high growth potential

• Top-tier medical, dental, vision fully covered

• 401(k) with 100% match up to 4%

• Unlimited PTO

• Beautiful NYC workspace with daily meals and unlimited snacks

• New MacBook Pro + Apple Studio Display

• Wellhub Gold or Equinox membership stipend
