NewsMesh; Northern (KY); Hybrid; USD 100,000 - 160,000; Full time

Benefits offered by this job

Remote across US

Real ownership of work

Job summary

NewsMesh turns the world's news into clean, structured, real-time data. This role owns the developer surface: the docs, the SDKs, the integrations, and the writing that makes someone try the API and keep it. Half engineering, half distribution, and you would own both halves.

We are a small, senior team focused on right, current data and easy-to-use APIs, with remote work across the US and ownership of shipped work customers depend on.

Qualifications

• Strong engineering background.
• Experience with third‑party APIs and opinions on APIs that feel good.
• Able to OWN a metric, not just ship features.

Responsibilities

• Own the developer experience: docs, SDKs, examples, and first-run path.
• Build integrations and tooling that put NewsMesh where developers already work.
• Write technical content that earns attention without marketing filler.
• Measure activation and retention, and fix what the numbers say is broken.

Job description

We sell to developers and, increasingly, to agents that discover and pay for APIs on their own. This role owns that surface: the docs, the SDKs, the integrations, and the writing that makes someone try the API and keep it. Half engineering, half distribution, and you would own both halves.

About NewsMesh

NewsMesh turns the world's news into clean, structured, real-time data. We ingest thousands of sources continuously, enrich every article with category, topics, people, and country relevance, and serve it through an API used by developers and, increasingly, by AI agents that discover and pay for it on their own. We are a small, senior team, and the work is measured by one thing: whether the data is right, current, and easy to use.

What you'll do

• Own the developer experience: docs, SDKs, examples, and the first-run path
• Build integrations and tooling that put NewsMesh where developers already work
• Write technical content that earns attention without being marketing filler
• Measure activation and retention, and fix what the numbers say is broken

What we look for

• Strong engineering background and genuinely good technical writing
• Have built with third-party APIs and formed opinions about which ones felt good
• Comfortable owning a metric, not just shipping features
• Experience with MCP, agent tooling, or the LLM ecosystem
• Have grown a developer product or open-source project before

What we offer

• Pay in the range above, depending on experience
• Remote across the US
• Real ownership: you will ship work customers depend on
• A small, senior team with high standards and little process

How we hire

We read every application. If there is a fit, expect a short intro call, a practical exercise rooted in the kind of work you would actually do, and a few conversations with the people you would work with. A link to something you have built beats a resume.
