There is no organization in the world that understands voice better than Deepgram.

Company Operating Rhythm

At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance.

Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work. We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do.

Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5.

About the Role

Deepgram wins when developers can go from API key to production with as little friction as possible. As a Staff Developer Experience Engineer, you’ll own the systems that make that happen—from our SDK architecture and code-generation pipeline to the tooling, documentation, and integrations developers rely on every day.

This is a deeply technical engineering role, not a traditional Developer Relations position. You’ll build and evolve the foundation behind our multi-language SDKs, improve the developer journey across every touchpoint, and remove friction before developers ever encounter it. Working closely with Engineering, Product, Partnerships, and Developer Relations, you’ll help define the standards for developer experience across the platform.

Success in this role means making Deepgram the easiest voice AI platform to build on: faster time to first API call, better SDKs, fewer support issues, and an experience that developers genuinely enjoy using.
