We’re looking for a Developer Advocate with a passion for OpenAPI, SDK automation, and developer experience. This hybrid role spans backend engineering, automation, and developer advocacy—perfect for someone who enjoys both building tools and helping others use them effectively.
You’ll take the lead on designing and maintaining OpenAPI specifications, automating SDK generation across multiple languages, and providing hands-on support to developers integrating our API. You’ll serve as a technical liaison to the developer community, responding to GitHub issues, helping triage bugs, and turning developer feedback into improved tools and documentation.
Responsibilities- Maintain OpenAPI (3.0) specifications for our SaaS APIs across services.
- Build and maintain SDK generation pipelines using tools like OpenAPI Generator, Swagger Codegen, or Autorest.
- Integrate AI-based tools or workflows to auto-improve developer experience—e.g., AI-assisted changelog generation, linting, or comment scaffolding.
- Develop tooling and automation to validate API specs, enforce consistency, and streamline SDK publishing to GitHub and package managers.
- Collaborate with product, backend, and developer advocacy teams to ensure the API surface is intuitive, consistent, and well-documented.

- Contribute to internal documentation and tooling for API versioning, changelogs, and deprecation strategies.
- Monitor and respond to developer questions and bug reports via GitHub Issues, Discussions, and Ext-Developer Slack and Discord.
- Help developers troubleshoot API integration challenges, escalating bugs and common friction points to the engineering team.
- Advocate for external developers internally—representing their feedback in platform roadmap discussions.
- 3+ years of experience in software engineering, with exposure to SaaS product development or API platforms.
- Strong working knowledge of OpenAPI (Swagger) specifications and ecosystem tools.
- Proficiency with at least one scripting or general-purpose language (e.g., Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go), with the ability to read and generate code in several others.
- Experience with automation in CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or GitLab).
- Passion for automation, code generation, and improving the developer experience.
- Familiarity with SDK and client library conventions across languages.
- Comfort working asynchronously in a fast-moving, collaborative team environment.
- Exposure to AI/ML tools or frameworks used to automate documentation or code suggestions.
