Job description
As a Software Engineer in our Developer Experience (DX) organization, you will play a key role in shaping how Sinch builds, exposes, and enables AI agents for both internal and external use.
This role sits at the intersection of SDK development, developer tooling, and emerging agentic platforms . You will start by contributing to our Python SDK , which is a core touchpoint for external developers integrating with Sinch. This initial focus will help you build deep familiarity with our APIs, products, and developer workflows.
Building on that foundation, you will progressively work on Python-based AI agents and agent-based integrations that Sinch exposes to customers and partners, enabling new ways to automate and orchestrate communications using agentic frameworks and platforms.
This is a developer-facing platform role, not a traditional backend product position. Your work directly impacts how easy, consistent, and enjoyable it is to build on top of Sinch.
This role is open to candidates based in Spain , from our offices in Madrid .
What you will do
As a Software Engineer, you will:
SDK foundation (initial focus)
- Contribute to the design, development, and maintenance of Sinch's Python SDK .
- Ensure high-quality API coverage, consistency, and usability across the SDK.
- Improve developer ergonomics, documentation, examples, and testing.
- Collaborate with other SDK engineers across languages to maintain alignment and consistency.
AI agents & developer tooling (progressive focus)
- Design and implement AI agents in Python that integrate with Sinch APIs and services.
- Leverage and evaluate agent frameworks such as LangChain, ADK , or other emerging tools, and help define which ones are relevant for Sinch use cases.
- Expose agents in a way that is composable, secure, and developer-friendly.
- Collaborate closely with Product Management, MCP engineers, SDK teams, and documentation teams to ensure agents fit naturally into the overall Sinch developer experience.
- Contribute to defining patterns, guardrails, and best practices for agent design, observability, and safety.
- Collect feedback from internal usage and early customer integrations to continuously improve agent quality and usability.Participate in architectural discussions around agentic systems, AI tooling, and developer-facing platforms., * You to be a machine learning researcher or data scientist.
- Deep expertise in model training, fine-tuning, or low-level ML internals.
- Prior experience with every agent framework on the market.
- You to have all the answers about how AI agents should be monetized or productized from day one.
- Solo hero work: this role is about collaboration, enablement, and shared learning.Perfect clarity upfront: ambiguity is part of the role, and shaping the path forward is part of the job.
Why this role matters
AI agents are becoming a critical interface between developers, platforms, and APIs. In this role, you will directly influence:
- The quality and adoption of Sinch's Python SDK
- How Sinch APIs are used by AI agents and automation platforms
- How customers build intelligent workflows on top of Sinch
- How internal teams adopt and scale agentic solutions
You will help define how Sinch participates in the emerging agent ecosystem, both technically and culturally.
