Job description

We are building a next-generation API Review Agent platform and developer tooling ecosystem. Our platform enables engineers to validate, review, govern, and automate API quality using AI-powered workflows. Our vision extends far beyond backend services— we are creating world-class CLI tooling, SDKs, plugins, and developer experiences that can be distributed globally and adopted across thousands of engineering teams. We are looking for engineers who are passionate about developer productivity, command-line tooling, software distribution, observability, and telemetry. You should be equally comfortable building Go-based CLIs, TypeScript developer tooling, release automation, update mechanisms, and analytics pipelines that help teams understand how tooling is used in production. Req.#1126942338

Responsibilities

• CLI & Tooling Development: Design and develop production-grade CLI tools using Golang and/or TypeScript to support API governance, review automation, developer workflows, and platform operations
• Extensibility & SDKs: Create extensible plugin architectures and SDKs for both internal and external consumers
• Software Distribution: Design and implement robust software distribution strategies across macOS, Linux, and Windows
• Release Engineering: Build release pipelines, package managers, installers, auto-update mechanisms, and version management solutions
• Telemetry & Analytics: Implement telemetry frameworks that measure adoption, usage patterns, performance, reliability, and feature engagement, ensuring full compliance with privacy, security, and enterprise governance requirements
• Identity & Configuration: Develop authentication, configuration, and credential-management capabilities for developer tools
• Ecosystem Integrations: Build integrations with GitHub, GitLab, CI/CD systems, IDEs, and developer portals
• Documentation & Onboarding: Create excellent documentation, tutorials, examples, and developer onboarding experiences
• Engineering Excellence: Participate in architecture reviews, code reviews, and platform-wide initiatives while driving reliability, scalability, security, and maintainability across the tooling ecosystem

Requirements

• Core Engineering: Strong proficiency in Golang and TypeScript/Node.js CLI
• Expertise: Experience building and maintaining production-grade CLI applications
• Packaging & Distribution: Deep understanding of software packaging and distribution technologies (Homebrew, npm, standalone binaries, installers, containers, etc.)
• Instrumentation & Observability: Experience implementing telemetry, analytics, and usage instrumentation within developer tools, along with knowledge of OpenTelemetry, metrics collection, logging, and observability best practices
• Release Pipelines: Experience with release engineering, CI/CD automation, and artifact management
• API & Developer Experience: Strong understanding of API design, OpenAPI specifications, and developer experience principles
• Ecosystems & SDKs: Experience building SDKs, plugins, extensions, or developer productivity platforms
• Security & Auth: Knowledge of authentication mechanisms including OAuth, API keys, and enterprise SSO integrations
• Cloud & Architecture: Experience working with cloud-native and distributed systems
• Communication & Autonomy: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work independently in ambiguous environments and drive key technical decisions

Nice to have

• Developer platform engineering
• AI-assisted tooling and agent-based workflows
• Software supply chain and artifact distribution
• Cross-platform desktop tooling
• Open-source tooling ecosystems
• Enterprise telemetry and analytics platforms
• API governance and developer portals
