## About the Role

* 4+ years building software, with meaningful time on developer-facing products - SDKs, APIs, dashboards, consoles, platforms developers actually use

## Description

* Own DevExp as a product surface - wherever the bottleneck is, that's where you ship next. One sprint that might be the API contract, the next it's the dashboard onboarding, the next it's an MCP server, the next it's a Python SDK abstraction
 * Partner with platform engineering on API design before it ships, not after - bring the developer-and-agent perspective into the room when the contract is being decided
 * Work with product engineering on the developer-facing surfaces of the dashboard - playground, API keys, usage, request inspectors, webhook debugging - bringing the DevExp lens to features the rest of the team is already shipping
 * Make BFL the best visual AI platform for agents to use. Own the MCP server, skills, agent onboarding paths, and the machine-readable surfaces of the platform. Design the reference patterns and SDK primitives developers reach for when building agentic workflows on FLUX. Stress-test every API and SDK change against "would Claude / GPT / an autonomous agent get this right on the first try?" - and treat agents as a first-class user across the whole product (errors an LLM can recover from, capabilities discoverable without a human reading docs, audit trails that make sense when most of the traffic on an account isn't a person).
 * Own the portfolio of entry points developers and agents reach for - SDKs (Python, TypeScript, more on demand), MCP server, skills, OpenAPI / typed surfaces - and treat them as a portfolio, not a hierarchy. SDKs add composable workflows and sane defaults for async / polling / retries; MCP and skills make BFL trivially usable from any agent loop. DevRel and the Creative Technologist team partner on examples, content, and showcase work on top of these surfaces - you own the surfaces themselves.
 * Partner with the Growth engineer and Product on the developer funnel - signup * first key * first call * first production call * repeat - and own the DevExp fixes for the cliffs they surface
 * Be opinionated. Versioning, error formats, breaking change policy, idempotency, naming - you have takes and you can defend them. The bar is Stripe: an API and SDK so well-designed the docs almost feel unnecessary.
