Stainless | Founding Engineer | NYC or Remote UTC+1 to UTC-7 | Full-time

Stainless offers quality fittings for your REST API.

You can think of us like Stripe’s API platform as a service, but our ambitions are a little bigger, and our starting point is a little narrower.

Our first product is well-typed client libraries as a service. I built Stripe’s codegen system and TypeScript definitions, and now I'm applying the same concepts for any API at Stainless: just send us your OpenAPI spec and we generate code and publish it to npm/pypi/etc.

Ultimately, it's our goal to bring all the advantages of GraphQL (well-typed/specified APIs, strong standards, field expansion/selection, etc) to the simplicity & ubiquity of "REST".

As founding engineer at a Sequoia-backed company, you'd be part of a pretty special founding team, regularly designing and building new products and systems from the ground up with humble and thoughtful peers you'll help recruit.

We use TypeScript for most things, but the more languages you know the better – you'll have cause to draw on most of them here.

Competitive comp, very competitive equity.
