Full Stack Engineer, AI

What We Do

We help more than 5,000 leading startups and tech companies build beautiful, personalized, and interactive developer hubs. You've likely seen our work if you've visited the developer docs for companies like PagerDuty, Samsara, or Nvidia. We're at the forefront of a major shift in developer experience, where AI agents need APIs to talk to each other, and those APIs need to be understandable, structured, and explorable.

What You’ll Do Here

• Help decide what gets built, why it matters, and how it works end-to-end.
• Define what future systems become.
• Build systems that are already live across thousands of developer hubs.
• Work on three key bets:
• Documentation that writes itself.
• AI that watches code change and keeps docs current.
• Answers, not search results.
• Handle real-world complexity such as malformed specs, inconsistent docs, edge-case APIs, and ambiguous user queries.
• Make architectural tradeoffs such as latency vs. quality, cost vs. coverage, deterministic vs. generative approaches.
• Own production reliability: observability, fallbacks, rate limiting, and safe degradation when systems fail.
• Work across the stack: from model orchestration and backend systems to the UI surfaces that expose them.

Who We Are Looking For

• Experience building with LLMs in production, not just prototypes.
• Strong JavaScript/TypeScript or Python experience.
• Experience working with: Embeddings and retrieval systems (RAG), prompting and structured outputs, evaluation and iteration of AI systems (quality, latency, cost).
• Comfort working with APIs and structured data (JSON, OpenAPI, schemas).
• Experience designing and shipping end-to-end systems, from backend pipelines to user-facing product surfaces.
• Strong instincts around when to use AI vs. deterministic approaches.
• Experience improving AI reliability, observability, and production readiness.
• Familiarity with real-world edge cases (messy data, inconsistent inputs, ambiguous queries).

How You'll Grow Within One Month

• Build a deep understanding of ReadMe’s AI systems and product surfaces.
• Ship meaningful improvements to existing AI features.
• Get close to real customer workflows and pain points.

Within a Few Months

• Own a core part of one of our AI systems.

• Contribute to product and technical direction.

Within Your First Year

• Be a key driver of AI across the product.
• Ship systems used daily by thousands of developers and teams.
• Help define how AI reshapes developer hubs and API workflows.
