Location: United States
Workplace: Remote
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Software Engineering

Key Responsibilities

  • •Pioneer our agent experience by shaping how AI agents interact with Pinecone — designing interfaces, protocols (MCP), and tooling that make Pinecone the easiest and most capable platform for agentic workflows to build on.
  • •Ship end-to-end experiences across API, SDK, CLI, and web. You'll own the full surface, from the HTTP layer to the UI, and you'll make calls across all of it.
  • •Build systems that multiply team output. Design AI-powered workflows, automated quality gates, and high-leverage platform capabilities that let a small team move at a pace that would otherwise require 10x the headcount.
  • •Set the standard for AI-assisted development on the team. Use the best tools available — Claude Code, Cursor, or whatever works — and help establish patterns that make the whole team faster.
  • •Collaborate with product, design, and engineering to identify what users (and agents) actually need and build it at the right abstraction level, at the right time.
