The opportunity
Pinecone is the knowledge infrastructure for AI at scale. Its leading vector database and knowledge engine, Pinecone Nexus, power accurate, performant AI applications for more than 9,000 customers and 800,000 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
