Senior Software Engineer (SDK)

Acerca de

the RoleThis is a high-ownership engineering role at a fast-growing, open-source AI engineering platform — think of it as the Datadog for LLM observability

The platform is trusted by thousands of development teams worldwide, and the SDKs you'll own are downloaded millions of times each month, often serving as the very first touchpoint a developer has with the product.

The SDKs run in production environments ranging from serverless functions to long-running agent loops.

They must be rock-solid: minimal CPU and memory overhead, zero tolerance for failure, and a developer experience that feels effortless.

When you ship, thousands of developers benefit the same day.

What You'll DoOwn the Python and TypeScript SDKs end-to-end — reliability, performance, and developer experience.

Set the bar for SDK quality across the organization.

Design APIs developers love — naming conventions, parameter structure, breaking-change communication, and documentation.

Every detail of the DX is yours to shape.

Drive OpenTelemetry-based integrations — architect and implement framework integrations across the AI/LLM ecosystem (e.

major LLM providers, orchestration frameworks, agent runtimes).

• Maintain and evolve the SDK release lifecycle — versioning strategy, packaging, CI/CD pipelines, compatibility testing, and automated release management.
• Performance engineer the SDK — profile, identify bottlenecks, and reduce latency and memory footprint so the SDK is never the limiting factor in production.

Engage the open-source community — triage GitHub issues, review external PRs, write developer-facing docs, and represent the project on public channels.

• Collaborate cross-functionally — work closely with product and data teams to translate platform capabilities into clean SDK abstractions.

What We're Looking ForRequired5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including at least 2 years building or maintaining SDKs or client librariesProven track record designing, implementing, an.
