Job Description
Deepgram is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to act as the technical lead for its Console team. Deepgram builds speech models and real-time infrastructure to power conversational voice AI systems for thousands of organizations and developers globally. In this role, you will take ownership of the customer-facing product surfaces that enable developers to discover, test, and adopt Deepgram, including the Console and Playground, account management systems, agentic tooling integrations, and internal tools. You will establish the technical strategy and architecture for the self-serve platform, lead high-impact cross-functional initiatives from initial concept to launch, and partner closely with leadership across Engineering, Product, Design, Sales, and Marketing. This position requires someone who will write code daily, combining strong full-stack capabilities with broad product intuition to drive product-led growth, activation funnels, and usage-based billing infrastructure. Candidates should thrive in startup environments characterized by rapid iteration and experimentation.
Responsibilities
- Establish technical strategy and architecture for the Console, Playground, account management services, and agentic developer tooling
- Lead large, cross-functional projects from ambiguous ideas to successful launches
- Partner with senior leaders in Engineering, Product, Design, Sales, and Marketing on roadmaps and AI-native developer experience
- Collaborate with engineering managers and product leaders to translate priorities into incremental work items
- Develop full-stack features including user interfaces, APIs, and backend services
- Drive the technical foundation for self-serve growth, including activation funnels, upgrade flows, usage-based billing instrumentation, and product-led growth experiments
- Create AI tools that shape developer interaction, such as MCP servers, SDK experiences, AI agent playgrounds, and LLM-powered utilities
- Identify recurring patterns in incidents and tech debt, surface root causes to leadership, and design durable solutions
- Raise team engineering standards through design reviews, code reviews, and mentorship
Requirements
- Have 8 or more years of professional software engineering experience with a history of delivering full-stack web applications to customers
- Demonstrate experience acting as a technical lead on major cross-functional projects with substantial business impact
- Possess advanced front-end capabilities utilizing modern web technologies, frameworks, and web fundamentals
- Bring solid backend development experience in languages such as Python, Rust, or Go, including API and service design
- Show a proven ability to drive architectural decisions that scale effectively
- Have experience collaborating with senior leadership on strategy, prioritization, and influencing without authority
- Maintain a consistent record of mentoring engineers and elevating engineering practices
- Demonstrate comfort with startup dynamics, quick building, frequent iteration, and experimentation
- Exhibit strong written and verbal communication skills
Qualifications
- Experience developing AI-powered developer tooling like playgrounds, SDK experiences, interactive documentation, or ML evaluation UIs
- Experience shipping agentic or voice AI integrations such as MCP servers, function-calling pipelines, or voice assistant SDKs
- Experience driving product-led growth at developer-tool companies, including activation experiments and usage-based pricing
- Experience with React or an interest in learning it
- Depth in backend systems including Postgres databases, schema design, and performance optimization at scale
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, containerized deployments, and hybrid cloud environments
- Interest in Rust, LLM APIs, GPUs, and real-time audio systems
