Job description

from Lambda careers

Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure serving tens of thousands of customers. Our customers range from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers. Lambda's mission is to make compute as ubiquitous as electricity and give everyone the power of superintelligence. One person, one GPU.

If you'd like to build the world's best AI cloud, join us.

*Note: This position requires presence in our San Francisco, San Jose, or Bellevue office location 4 days per week; Lambda’s designated work from home day is currently Tuesday.


What The Role is About

The API Experience team is responsible for Lambda’s customer-facing Core Cloud APIs — everything from creating a new instance or attaching storage to managing VPCs. We deliver a delightful, consistent, and cohesive API-first experience to all our customers, from self-serve Public Cloud users to the largest, most demanding AI companies on the planet.

What You’ll Do

  • Build end-to-end features for Lambda Cloud.

  • Contribute to both frontend and backend code across existing and new features.

  • Collaborate with Product Engineering, Platform, and Infrastructure teams to deliver solutions that cut across the stack.

  • Partner with Product Managers to design, scope, and deliver features that are critical to customer success, without compromising on our product quality.
