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
We're looking for an Engineering Leader to own a vertical slice of our stack — product, backend, and infrastructure — with real ownership over people, process, and technical. You'll either be focused on our web platform or on new product initiatives, including AI-powered products. Either way, you'll have real ownership and plenty of meaty problems to solve.
This role is onsite in our Manhattan Headquarters.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Lead and grow a high-performing engineering team, with direct ownership over hiring, development, and day-to-day management.
- Stay close to the code. You know what your team is working on and can give meaningful technical guidance.
- Drive execution on a mix of product work and infrastructure, balancing short-term delivery with longer-term architectural health.
- Take on ambiguous, cross-functional problems that don't have an obvious owner and figure them out.
- Recruit some of the best engineers and help them do the best work of their careers.
WHO YOU ARE
- You've run a winning engineering team and have the receipts. Team health, shipping velocity, and the people you've grown matter to you.
- You're close to the code. Whether you came up as a strong IC or a TLM, you're technically credible and engaged.
- You've managed at a company that was actually figuring things out — Series A to C range, where the playbook wasn't written yet.
- You have the judgment to operate without constant supervision. When something's broken, a process, a team dynamic, a technical approach, you diagnose it and fix it.
- You've worked at a B2B company, ideally one with a technical or developer-focused customer base.
- You've shipped AI-powered products or features and understand what that actually involves.
- You care about the developer experience in what you build and in how your team works.
NICE TO HAVE
- Background in developer tools or API tooling.
- Experience across the full stack, including infra and orchestration layers.
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").
