About the role
Application demands are rapidly changing while the experience to design and operate infrastructure is rapidly diminishing. A new platform abstraction is needed to support agentic development, agentic applications, and an entirely new set of application workloads. We think Convex is
the team and platform best placed to define this abstraction. Convex works differently from the tools people are used to. The right way to build with it isn't always obvious, and increasingly the developer learning it is an agent rather than a person. Helping people and their agents make sense of something this new is still the domain of very talented humans, and we want you to be one of them.
The Team: Convex has assembled a team of engineers who have built and designed some of the largest platforms in the world, with exabytes of data, millions of transactions per second, and shipped desktop and mobile software onto billions of devices. We are a group of friendly, collaborative, and passionate people who love working in-person together in our office in San Francisco. We hire primarily in SF but have a few experienced folks working remotely in certain situations.
The Role: We're looking for a Head of Developer Experience to own how developers and agents become great at building on Convex. You'll set the strategy, hold the point of view, and lead
the team behind it. The docs, the writing, the developer narrative, and the advocacy your team takes to the community all flow from one thing: a real understanding of the product and a clear opinion on how people should build on it. Some weeks you'll go deep with the engineering team on something we just shipped and turn it into docs a developer, or the agent writing their code, can pick up easily. Other weeks you'll step back to decide what story we're telling developers this quarter, where the docs are falling short, and what your team should focus on next. The best person for this is someone who's genuinely excited to move between all of it.
