The opportunity
Pinecone is the trusted AI knowledge company. Its trusted AI knowledge platform—including its Database, Nexus, and Marketplace products—power accurate, fast, and cost-effective AI applications for more than 10,000 customers and 1M developers worldwide.
What you'll do
Pioneer our agent experience. Shape 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. We care about what ships, not how: many hours went into it. 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.
Build observable, auditable systems with monitoring, alerting, and: verification mechanisms — because in a high-velocity environment, you need systems that tell you when something's wrong.
What they're looking for
- At least 4 years of software engineering experience
- A bias toward automation and leverage: you reach for systems and tooling before you reach for elbow grease
- Hands-on experience shipping with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor,: Copilot, or similar) as a genuine part of your workflow
- Proven ability to design and deliver versioned APIs, SDKs, or client libraries
