What You’ll Do
- Build and evolve Customer.io's SDKs across platforms - including Android, iOS, Node, and Go - and the developer tools that support them
- Lead SDK initiatives end to end: set technical direction, write the code, manage the release, and own the outcome
- Improve SDK delivery infrastructure - CI, automated testing, versioning, publishing, and release processes - so shipping is reliable and low-friction
- Partner closely with product and design to turn loosely defined goals into a great developer experience
- Use AI agents to make multi-file changes across unfamiliar codebases and languages by scoping the work, writing the prompt, and verifying the output
- Bring strong customer empathy to the role - understanding what the engineers integrating with our SDKs actually need, and occasionally engaging directly with them
What we're looking for
- Expert-level competency in at least one established programming language, with strong software design and API design fundamentals
- Experience building and evolving mature, production-quality software, with a clear understanding of how systems fit together and how other developers consume them
- Exceptional fluency with current LLMs and agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor, Codex) - using AI to understand unfamiliar codebases, work across languages, and run things in parallel or autonomously
- High autonomy in ambiguous environments - you clarify the problem, validate its value, and drive implementation without close direction
- Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain technical decisions and tradeoffs clearly
- Ability to work effectively across multiple languages and stacks; prior experience in every language we support (Swift, Kotlin, Node, Go) is not required
Nice to have
- Experience building external-facing SDKs, APIs, or developer tools
- Experience owning CI, testing, versioning, or release infrastructure
- Forward-deployed engineering experience
