About the Role
ABOUT STAINLESS
Stainless is a fast-growing tech startup building the future of APIs. Our customers include industry leaders like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cloudflare.
We have raised over $35 million https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/10/stainless-helps-build-sdks-for-openai-anthropic-and-meta/ from a16z, Sequoia, and founders/C-levels from Stripe, Datadog, Segment, Linear, and more.
We are headquartered in NYC, just west of SoHo, and are a team of ~60 strong expecting to double in the next ~9 to 12 months.
ABOUT THE ROLE
You’ll lead product development for our SDK generator https://www.stainlessapi.com/blog/announcing-the-stainless-sdk-generator, a “compiler” from OpenAPI specs to idiomatic wrapper libraries in various languages for customers including OpenAI https://github.com/openai/openai-node, Anthropic https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python, and Cloudflare https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-go.
You will manage 6-12 engineers. This role reports to the CEO and is onsite at our office in Manhattan.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Support engineers in shipping new SDK generator features quickly and achieving high level of technical quality.
- Hold our bar of “what library would an expert in the language create if they had infinite time”.
- Oversee development of new SDK generators for Rust and other languages
- Drive our core “compiler” design to support many programming languages, library features, and edge cases.
- Partner with OpenAI, Anthropic, et al on the design of future APIs and their optimal support in SDKs.
- Mentor high-slope engineers toward rapid career growth.
- Source, interview, and close some of the best engineers you’ve ever worked with.
WHO YOU ARE
- You’ve managed a high-performing engineering team in an early- or growth-stage startup.
- 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 have 2+ years of engineering management experience and have managed more than one team.
- 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.
- You’ve started something before: a business, a club, a nonprofit, a student org; anything that shows you’re a builder at heart.
BENEFITS
- We offer competitive salary and generous equity grants.
- Great healthcare coverage options (e.g., fully covered platinum plans).
- Paid commuter benefits & similar.
- Paid team lunch/meals during workdays.
- Flexible PTO plus 3 weeks of company-wide vacation a year (2 weeks in December, 1 week at the end of the summer).
- Flexible WFH and 1 month fully remote per year ("remote February").
