Job description

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’ve raised over $5M in Seed funding backed by Companyon Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, UIF, and CEAS Investments. 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
• Wellhub Gold or Equinox stipend
