Developer Experience Lead

Extend is building a modern document processing platform, reimagined with LLMs. We're on a mission to transform how the world works with unstructured data.

Developer experience is our competitive advantage. As our Developer Experience Lead at Extend, you'll ensure we become the default choice for developers building document processing.

Why you should consider joining

We've grown revenue 15x this year to 7-figures in ARR, with our growth continuing to accelerate
We have a product loved by users and being used in mission-critical flows at companies like Brex, Checkr, Opendoor, Chime, and many more
We're building the next generation document processing platform — the market for document processing has expanded 1000x due to LLMs, and existing solutions are all low NPS
We're punching well above our weight, supporting customer and revenue metrics with half the team size of other startups — everyone joining at this stage will have outsized impact

We have a very talent dense team (e.g. former founders, world record holders) operating in a high performance culture, in-person in NYC, with high equity ownership
We're tackling novel, unsolved problems at the intersection of LLMs, complex data processing, and human ↔ AI interfaces
We're backed by world class investors, including YC, Homebrew, investors from OpenAI, and more

We're a lean team, and our customer base is growing too fast for us to keep up. We're looking for talented engineers to join our founding team ahead of our next round and execute on an ambitious roadmap.

Here's a few of the complex challenges you'll be working on:

How do we make it incredibly simple for developers to get started with Extend?
How do we build developer trust in AI-powered systems?
How do we create documentation that serves both beginners and power users?
