**About the Role**

Lob builds APIs that increase the connectivity between the offline and online
worlds. We started with our Print and Mail API which helps developers
programmatically send, route, and track physical mail at scale. The second API
we launched was Address Verification as addresses are the gateway to the
offline world. This API helps people make sure the things they’re sending
actually get there.

  

Customers and developers love our products and we’re growing fast to meet
their needs. We offer remote working opportunities in California, Texas,
Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, Washington, Colorado, Utah and
Oregon. You can also work onsite at our San Francisco headquarters.

  

The Developer Experience team at Lob ensures our customers have a painless
experience while integrating with Lob. We provide [open source
clients](https://github.com/lob), [API documentation](https://docs.lob.com/),
[integration examples](https://github.com/lob/examples) and [OpenAPI
specifications](https://github.com/lob/lob-openapi) to meet the customers
where they’re at. We believe that even the largest potential customer has an
experience with Lob as an individual developer.

you'll**

  * Represent and advocate for developer experience with other product engineering teams to ensure new API features and changes are consistent with Lob’s public (and internal) API strategy, and provide tools and oversight for developers to make changes to our clients, examples and documentation.

  * Be a coach and sounding board for the Developer Experience engineers, rather than telling them what to do. We see engineering management as a support role: you will help your team build problem-solving muscle by practicing active listening, asking good questions, and giving actionable, timely, kind feedback.
