Full Job Description
What You'll Do

You'll own the entire developer experience function. This means doing absolutely everything to do with developer experience, including:
  • Developer Success: You'll be in all customer Slack channels as the frontline to help answer their questions and solve their problems. You'll give them advice on best practices for integrating with our API, and provide thoughtful support when they get stuck or need advice.
  • Technical Writing: You'll develop high-quality sample code, documentation, and technical demos to improve the developer experience.
  • Product: You'll chat with our customers to deeply understand what they need. You'll advocate for them by communicating their feedback to the rest of the team. You'll be the person we lean on when we build out self-serve developer flows, and optimize our products and developer resources for agents.
  • Internal Tools and Workflows: You'll build tools to make our debugging processes more efficient and triaging less time consuming. You'll have full agency to add new tools and processes as needed to help our customers to be more successful, faster.
  • And Other Things: Rarely, you may need to join sales calls as a technical resource, contribute to a technical marketing blog post, etc.

Most of the developer experience work will be post-sales. This means that at the moment, this role doesn't involve speaking at tech conferences or writing a ton of marketing content.

What It Will Be Like
  • Huge impact. You'll have a major role in building a culture centered around customer empathy. You get to build the foundations of the company and developer experience.
  • No bureaucracy. You'll own and drive every initiative you work on from start to finish. We fully trust you.
  • Massive growth opportunities. And not just on the technical/customer-facing side. Anything you want to learn about the business we'll teach you.


Your Qualifications
  • Deep customer empathy, including the desire to help people and solve their problems
  • Strong ability to communicate complex technical topics in a simple and understandable way
  • 2-3 years of software development experience


Who You Are
  • You want to work hard. As a founding member of the team, there is a lot of work that needs to be done.
  • Self-starter who finds excitement in building a function from scratch
  • Passionate about being a founding startup member
  • Feels fulfillment in helping others
  • Not afraid to do things that have never been done before
  • Enjoys speaking with customers


Who is this not a fit for?
  • You can't work hard right now. Being one of the first developer experience engineers at a startup is going to be a lot of work. The entire company is less than 30 people, and this will likely the hardest job you've ever had.
  • You need a stability. As a fast growing startup with 1000+ customers and 10+ years of runway, we're in a pretty good spot. However, startups are inherently risky. If stability is important to you, this founding role may not be the right fit.
  • You're not excited about helping developers. You won't be able to succeed at this role unless you love our customers and want to truly help them in whatever way possible.


What we offer
  • Competitive equity
  • Computer and workspace enhancements
  • Unlimited vacation
  • Quarterly company off-sites with the team and explore exciting destinations around the world
  • Opportunity to take on significant responsibility and ownership in building out Recall
