Seam builds the infrastructure that connects software to the physical world. With Seam, companies create products that automate spaces, streamline operations, and elevate everyday experiences—like unlocking doors, managing climate, and monitoring properties from anywhere.
About the teamWe power smart devices in the real world, from door locks to thermostats. If you’ve ever checked into an Airbnb with a code, you’ve likely used Seam. Our customers include property management platforms, commercial integrators, and startups building for offices, gyms, and co-working spaces.
We provide APIs, SDKs, hosted UIs, and tools that let developers build connected experiences quickly and reliably. You’ll join a team of engineers, designers, and product managers focused on simplifying automation across devices and environments.
What you’ll doYou’ll own how developers learn, explore, and build with Seam. From documentation to sample apps, you’ll create resources that reduce time-to-first-success, clarify integration paths, and showcase what’s possible with our platform.
This role blends developer education, content architecture, and light-touch advocacy. You’ll work closely with product and engineering, translating what they ship into materials that drive understanding, engagement, and adoption.
ResponsibilitiesCollaborating with engineering, product, and marketing to create and revise documentation that makes work simpler, more pleasant, and more productive for developers and builders.
