  • Collaborate with teams across Herald to deliver thoughtful, extensible API designs.
  • Tackle well-scoped software problems independently.
  • Ensure the reliability and performance of the platform.
  • Write comprehensive documentation to enhance developer experience.

What You Bring

  • 4+ years of software development experience.
  • 2+ years in an API-focused design environment.
  • Strong understanding of API design principles and developer needs.
  • Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems, preferably with PostgreSQL and/or Redis components.
  • Curiosity and enthusiasm for learning new skills on the job.

What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation packages based on experience.
  • Company equity.
  • Hybrid-flexible work environment focused in the Northeast (NYC and Boston).
  • Relocation stipend (if applicable).
  • Quarterly in-person meetups.
  • Generous PTO and holiday schedule, plus sick days.
