The Role
The role involves designing, building, and maintaining SDKs and integration libraries, driving customer integrations, and resolving API issues for optimal integration success.
Summary Generated by Built In
What You’ll Do:1) Build the Integration Surface (Primary Engineering Ownership)
  • Design, build, and maintain GRVT’s SDKs, integration libraries, and developer tooling.

  • Build and evolve builder-facing APIs and the “builder program” integration surface.

  • Create reference implementations, example apps, and templates that accelerate customer time-to-production.

  • Directly contribute to core trading codebase for deeper integration needs.

  • Ship improvements across whichever codebase creates the most leverage:

    • Customer codebases (when necessary to unblock or accelerate adoption)

    • Open-source repos (SDKs/tools/examples)

    • GRVT core platform (when platform changes are the durable fix)

2) Drive Customer Integrations and Outcomes (Revenue-Goaled)
  • Work directly with:

    • Market makers: help them size up requirements, reliability expectations, and integration paths to quote/trade effectively.

    • Platform integrators: attract more builders, and help them increase the flow they send to GRVT by removing friction and expanding capability.

    • API traders: help them trade more by improving integration quality, reliability, and ergonomics.

  • Own end-to-end integration success: debugging, performance tuning, reliability hardening, and production readiness.

  • Partner closely with Sales/BD on technical enablement, integration planning, and removing blockers to adoption.

3) Ongoing Customer Care & API Support
  • Own end-to-end resolution of API and SDK integration issues for customers, including debugging real-world usage, edge cases, and production incidents.

  • Support a high volume of integrator requests, working directly in customer environments when needed to diagnose and unblock issues.

  • Identify recurring patterns across customer issues and convert them into durable technical leverage (SDK improvements, safer defaults, tooling, automation, or documentation).

  • Partner with core engineering teams to drive platform-level fixes when customer issues reveal deeper system problems.

  • Continuously reduce the volume and severity of support needs by eliminating classes of issues, not just closing tickets.

What We’re Looking For (Core Requirements):
  • Strong engineering fundamentals: ability to design and ship production-quality systems and libraries.

  • Customer-facing technical ownership: you can work directly with external teams, ask sharp questions, and drive to a working outcome.

  • Ambiguity mastery: you can take unclear requirements and convert them into clear technical plans, trade-offs, and execution.

  • Outcome ownership: you optimize for customer success and business impact, not just task completion.

  • Reliability mindset: you do not trade correctness for speed unless the trade-off is explicit and safe.

  • Excellent communication (two-way): you listen, clarify, align, and move decisions forward across technical and non-technical audiences.

  • High agency: you are self-directed, unblock yourself, and consistently find the highest-leverage work.

Strongly Preferred
  • Experience building and maintaining SDKs, API tooling, developer platforms, or integration frameworks.

  • Experience driving Sales/BD directly through a technical lens.

  • Familiarity with trading systems, exchanges, market makers, or latency/reliability-sensitive APIs.

  • Proven habit of turning repeated customer issues into durable product/platform improvements.

  • Strong AI-assisted engineering workflow (debugging, prototyping, docs/examples generation, integration automation) that improves speed and quality.
