About the role
In this role, you will lead the Agent Experience (AX) discipline at AssemblyAI, treating AI coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex as first-class users. You will design, build, and maintain agent skills, tools, instructions, documentation, and the AssemblyAI Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so developer agents can seamlessly integrate AssemblyAI's speech-to-text, real-time transcription, and voice services.
What you'll do
- Treat coding agents as first-class users alongside human developers by driving the end-to-end agent experience.
- Build and maintain agent skills for core speech and voice products to guide automated workflows.
- Extend and improve the AssemblyAI MCP server, agent integrations, and authentication flows.
- Produce agent-ready machine-readable docs, quickstarts, llms.txt, and SDK integration examples.
- Create evals and benchmarks to track agent integration success rates, activation, and time-to-first-call.
What you bring
- 2+ years of professional software engineering experience with full-stack fundamentals in JavaScript and/or Python.
- Daily, hands-on experience using coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex.
- Practical experience writing prompts, agent tool definitions, skills, or instructions, and evaluating them empirically.
- Strong product sense for developer tooling and APIs.
- Clear and effective technical writing suitable for both AI agents and human engineers.
