About Stainless

  • Scale our SDK build platform to manage hundreds of concurrent customer builds.
  • Partner with OpenAI, Anthropic, et al on the design of future APIs and their optimal support in SDKs.
  • Act as editor-in-chief of our technical documentation.
  • Mentor high-slope engineers toward rapid career growth.
  • Source, interview, and close some of the best engineers you've ever worked with.

  • You're hands-on : deeply technical, understand in detail what your team is working on, and like to give architecture and product guidance.
  • You've personally recruited engineers to join a team you manage.
  • You've worked on libraries, for example building a popular open source project or designing internal abstractions used across a company.
  • You're interested in growing your management skills as the team scales over the next 2 years.
  • Benefits

  • Great healthcare coverage options (e.g., fully covered platinum plans).
  • Paid commuter benefits & similar.
  • Paid team lunch during workdays.
  • Flexible PTO plus 2 weeks of companywide vacation a year.
