About The Role

We are looking for a Head of Developer Platform & SDK to own, build, and grow Sanas's developer business.

This is a technical builder + product role. You will own what we build, how developers experience it, and how we drive adoption.

You will work closely with fellow engineers. You should be comfortable designing APIs, writing code, building prototypes, talking to developers, and making product decisions.

What You'll Do

• Own the strategy and roadmap for Sanas's APIs, SDKs, and 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.
• Talk directly to developers and customers and turn feedback into product priorities.
• Drive integrations across the voice and AI ecosystem, including platforms such as LiveKit and Pipecat.
• Develop strategies to grow developer adoption and turn the platform into a meaningful business.
• Establish metrics for developer acquisition, activation, retention, and usage.

What We're Looking For

• Strong engineering background with the ability to code and build, not just manage.
• Experience building APIs, SDKs, developer platforms, or developer-facing products.
• Strong product judgment and ability to turn ambiguous problems into products.
• Deep empathy for developers and a high bar for developer experience.
• Comfortable with technologies such as Python/Rust/C++, Docker/Kubernetes, NVIDIA GPUs, APIs, WebSockets, WebRTC/RTP, and cloud/on-prem/on-device infrastructure.
• Startup mentality: high agency, highly autonomous, hands-on, and willing to do whatever is needed to ship.
• Experience with voice, audio, telephony, or real-time systems is a strong plus.

Requirements

Must-Haves

• Strong engineering background with a track record of building and shipping developer-facing products.
• Experience with APIs, SDKs, developer platforms, or infrastructure products.
• Hands-on experience with on-premise or private-cloud deployments and enterprise infrastructure.
• Strong product judgment and ability to translate ambiguous technical problems into simple developer experiences.
• Excellent developer empathy and a high bar for APIs, documentation, tooling, and usability.
• Comfortable working directly with customers and engineers to diagnose problems and drive solutions.
• Willing and able to write code, prototype, and get hands-on when needed.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with real-time audio, voice, telephony, or WebRTC.
• Experience deploying AI/ML inference systems in production, particularly GPU workloads.
• Experience with Kubernetes, Helm, Triton, Terraform, or similar infrastructure tooling.
• Experience with air-gapped or highly restricted enterprise environments.
• Experience taking a developer platform from early stage to meaningful adoption and revenue.
• Experience at a startup where you've operated across product, engineering, and customer-facing functions.
