Stainless is building the platform for high-quality, easy-to-use APIs. Our first product is SDKs as a service. When you `npm install openai` or `pip install openai`, for example, you’re downloading code that we generated. (I built the codegen system at Stripe for their SDKs, and am now building a better version for everyone.)
Next, we want to make it easy to build amazing REST APIs. REST is simple and ubiquitous, but right now it’s also messy, chaotic, and hard to get right. We’re going to build great open-source standards and tooling that bring the benefits of GraphQL (types, field selection/expansion, standards) and gRPC (types, speed, versioning) to REST.
We’re ~2y old, ~10 people, have strong revenue (could choose to be profitable), and great customers (including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cloudflare). We’re backed by Sequoia.
As a founding engineer, you’ll get autonomy to build great products, skilled peers, opportunity for tremendous impact, competitive salary, and a very competitive ownership stake.
We’re looking for exceptionally productive, thoughtful, tasteful, and kind people with a passion for making software development better for everyone.

Distill builds high quality profiles of people and companies using AI. If:
- you think scraping, knowledge graphs, and wrestling with LLMs sounds like fun
- you don't mind working in typescript
- you have solid overlap with PST
- and you love writing elegant code at high speeds
Then come and see what we're building. tim (a) distill.fyi
We're multi-time founders, ex-YC, VC-backed, pre-launch, and a tiny team. Most of us are parents of young kids.
This sounds fun to build. I have dropped you an email with my profile. Cheers!
