Stainless | Founding Engineer | NYC ONSITE | Full-time

Stainless is building the platform for high-quality, easy-to-use APIs.

Our first product is SDKs as a service – you send us your OpenAPI spec, and we generate packages in all the major languages and publish them to npm/pypi/etc (e.g., `npm install openai`, which is a package we produce).

These SDKs are world-class: you get an idiomatic wrapper with autocomplete, types, etc. (I built a version of this at Stripe for their SDKs, and am now building a better version for everyone.)

Next, we want to make it easy to build amazing REST APIs. REST is simple and ubiquitous, but right now it’s also messy, chaotic, and hard to get right. We’re going to build great open-source standards and tooling that bring the benefits of GraphQL (types, field selection/expansion, standards) and gRPC (types, speed, versioning) to REST.

From there, we plan to build out a rich family of developer platform products – everything an API team would need to deliver a terrific DX to their partners and/or customers.

We’re about 1.5y old, under 5 people, have strong revenue, and are selling to companies you interact with every day. We’re backed by Sequoia, a bunch of (ex-)Stripe people, and founders of Next.js, Prisma, and Segment.

As a founding engineer, you’ll get autonomy to build great products, skilled peers, opportunity for tremendous impact, competitive salary, and a very competitive ownership stake.

We’re looking for exceptionally productive, thoughtful, tasteful, and kind people with a passion for making software development better for everyone. Want to build the future of API tooling? Say hi: alex at stainlessapi.com

What's on RFC? Great post by the way, thanks!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request_for_Comments We use this process to make some of the harder more nebulous decisions that require a bit of research and investigation from the entire team. While it does suffer a little from "decision by committee" we haven't ran into it as a problem in practice. It's a great way to give people a chance to try and introduce new technology, processes, or paradigms. If they're commi…

Interesting, thank you for explaining!

We're VC backed and growing like a rocket ship

We're looking for a senior engineer. Primary programming language is Python. Experience with machine learning a plus but not required.

The role involves:

- Improving our PDF extraction functions

- Integrating text-to-audio APIs

- Managing AWS server infrastructure

- Deploying machine learning models

- General backend: performance, reliability, observability, etc.

We move fast and ship things quickly. The code you write will be in users' hands in days. The team is highly technical, no middle management, self-directed.

We meet in SF 2x a week, work from home the rest of the time.

Please contact: derek@listening.io. Please include a cover letter and resume, and why you're interested in the role.

I've seemed to found myself in a limbo between passing a screen and waiting for an onsite to be scheduled without much in the way of feedback from the recruiters on when to expect next steps. I've been working with them for about 2 months now and I'm not seeing an end in site; any suggestions? This is for a Staff SWE role fwiw.

Sorry to hear that. If it's for the role in my link or another product eng role let me know and I can have someone look in to it for you. If not the recruiter you're talking to is likely your best bet.

I believe it was, actually. I know the original rec I was looking at was filled at some point and that threw some things off so the recruiter was looking at this one instead but haven't heard anything since, unfortunately. Is there a good way to send you info on myself for you to pass along?

We detached this comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37744292 - please see the rules at the top of the thread. (Obviously companies should respond to applicants, but these threads aren't the place to hash this out. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37741929 for more information.)

Fair enough, but I wasn't really looking to hash anything out, just sharing my experience with the company for prospective applicants.

Sure, but there are two sides to every story, and a proper discussion would require giving the other side a chance to respond and the community a chance to ask questions, etc. - that's what I mean by "hashing out". That sort of community "hearing" (if you like) is the only device an internet forum has for assessing such things—not that it always works—but the Who Is Hiring threads are not the place for it.

(I don't mean to imply that what you posted is wrong or misleading, just that we have no way to know.)
