You will serve as Head of Developer Platform & SDK, owning the strategy, roadmap, and execution of Sanas's APIs, SDKs, and developer platform. This is a technical builder + product role where you will own what the company builds, how developers experience it, and how adoption is driven.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own the strategy and roadmap for APIs, SDKs, and the Developer Platform
- Design simple, intuitive developer experiences for complex real-time speech AI technology
- Work directly with engineers to architect and ship platform capabilities
- Build prototypes, reference applications, integrations, and developer tooling yourself
- Own developer documentation, examples, quickstarts, API references, and onboarding

- Drive integrations across the voice and AI ecosystem (LiveKit, Pipecat, etc.)
- Develop strategies to grow developer adoption and turn the platform into a meaningful business
- Establish metrics for developer acquisition, activation, retention, and usage
You will work closely with fellow engineers and be expected to design APIs, write code, build prototypes, talk to developers, and make product decisions. This is a hands-on role requiring both technical depth and product judgment.
