Sent is a unified messaging API that intelligently routes messages across SMS, WhatsApp, iMessage, and more. Our Intelligent Routing Model detects channel availability and preference to maximize reach while cutting messaging costs by up to 90% vs. traditional solutions.
Requirements
- Strong engineering ability; you ship production-quality code and maintainable examples
- Deep understanding of APIs, webhooks, async workflows, and integration patterns
- Proven ability to explain complex systems simply through writing, speaking, or teaching
- Comfort in at least one major backend ecosystem (TypeScript/Node, Python, Go) with ability to ramp on others.
- Familiarity with GitHub, CI, API testing, and basic frontend for demos.
- Experience in developer advocacy, solutions engineering, or developer experience
- Familiarity with CPaaS/messaging ecosystems (Twilio, MessageBird, SendGrid)
Responsibilities
- Create developer-facing assets: SDKs, samples, reference apps, workshops, launch content, and community touchpoints
- Turn developer pain into product and documentation improvements
- Reduce support load by making the common path obvious
- Build a repeatable adoption engine: content + community + product feedback loops
- Onboarding ("Hello World Production") Fast time-to-first-message, opinionated quickstarts for key use cases (OTP, transactional, support, marketing), and production readiness guidance (deliverability, compliance, retries, webhooks, failure modes).
- Developer-Facing Code SDKs, starter kits, sample apps, and migration guides. Realistic demos built like good open source. Golden paths for key stacks (Node/TypeScript, Python, Go).
- Content + Community Consistent technical content (posts, guides, videos, talks). Public presence where developers ask questions. Selective events strategy: conferences, workshops, partner moments.
Other
- High output and consistency—you ship on a cadence
- Empathy for developers: you identify what's confusing, missing, or blocking progress
- Cross-functional collaboration skills
- Conference speaking or workshop experience
- Public body of work (GitHub, blog, talks)
