Software Engineer, Backend Developer, DevOps

Description

We are building a next-generation API Review Agent platform and developer tooling ecosystem. The platform enables engineers to validate, review, govern, and automate API quality using AI-powered workflows. Our vision extends beyond backend services-we are creating world-class CLI tooling, SDKs, plugins, and developer experiences that can be distributed globally and adopted across thousands of engineers.

This role requires hands-on experience building developer tools. We are specifically looking for engineers who have designed, developed, and shipped CLI applications used by other developers. Experience limited to using command-line tools does not meet this requirement.

We are looking for engineers who can work across the entire developer tooling stack, including server-side Type Script (Node.js services, APIs, SDKs, tooling backends) and front-end Type Script (developer portals, dashboards, and web experiences).

Knockout Requirement:

+ Candidates must have personally developed CLI tools or developer tooling platforms. Candidates whose experience is limited to consuming or operating existing CLI tools will not be considered.

Skills

Building CLI tools, typescript, JavaScript, node.js, AI, Golang, cross-platform desktop tooling, API governance and developer portals

Top Skills Details
