Help decide what gets built, why it matters, and how it works end-to-end.
Work on systems that are already live across thousands of developer hubs and define what they become next.
Design end-to-end AI systems combining LLMs, embeddings, retrieval pipelines, and structured outputs into reliable product features.
Build grounding and retrieval layers: indexing docs, OpenAPI specs, and customer data to support accurate, context-aware generation.
Define evaluation systems: measuring accuracy, latency, cost, and user impact; building feedback loops to continuously improve quality.
Handle real-world complexity: malformed specs, inconsistent docs, edge-case APIs, and ambiguous user queries.
Make architectural tradeoffs: latency vs. quality, cost vs. coverage, deterministic vs. generative approaches.
Own production reliability: observability, fallbacks, rate limiting, and safe degradation when systems fail.
Work across the stack: from model orchestration and backend systems to the UI surfaces that expose them.

About ReadMe
ReadMe empowers over 5,000 leading startups and tech companies to build beautiful, personalized, and interactive developer hubs. You know how crucial clear documentation is for developers? ReadMe transforms static, often-outdated documentation into dynamic developer portals. The platform combines support, tutorials, topical guides, and API exploration, making it easy to keep docs current. ReadMe also offers community-oriented features that drive adoption and insights into API usage to help teams focus on high-impact improvements. Essentially, ReadMe makes APIs easier to use and understand, benefiting both developers and the companies that build them.
How We Work
ReadMe operates with a tight-knit team, fostering a culture of autonomy, flexibility, and continuous learning. About one-third of the team works remotely, with others in hybrid roles across San Francisco, New York, and Columbus. They prioritize open and caring interactions, reflected in their interview process. You'll find a collaborative environment where decisions are made collectively. This approach empowers you to own your work and make a real impact.
Engineering at ReadMe
ReadMe tackles the complex challenge of making API documentation and developer experiences magical. Their engineers build systems that transform static API docs into interactive hubs with features like real-time API logs, AI-powered content creation, and OpenAPI syncing. You'll engage with systems that are live across thousands of developer hubs, working to define their future. The team embraces a philosophy of solving problems, not just writing code, with a focus on impact and continuous growth. ReadMe's technical environment involves working across the stack, from model orchestration and backend systems to user-facing interfaces, and handling real-world complexities like messy data and inconsistent API specifications. The company’s original stack was JavaScript, utilizing AngularJS for the frontend and Express for the backend.
