About the role

  • Senior Technical Leader at Cloudinary focusing on GenAI-native ecosystems. Owning technical direction and building developer-facing products.

Responsibilities

  • Own the technical direction of Cloudinary for Builders, end to end, like a Co-founder & CTO
  • Co-lead the pod with its GM, shaping both product and technical decisions
  • Explore and evaluate emerging platforms (LLMs, builder tools, agent frameworks) and decide where Cloudinary should show up
  • Design, build, and ship integrations, plugins, connectors, widgets, and other low-friction entry points for builders
  • Own architecture, DevOps, deployment, and operations — whatever needs to be done, gets done
  • Build pragmatically: ship what validates value, cut everything else
  • Continuously adjust focus based on learnings and constraints in pursuit of product-market fit

Requirements

  • 10+ years as a senior developer or technical leader, still highly hands-on
  • Strong founder mentality: ownership-driven, comfortable with ambiguity, biased toward solutions
  • Prior startup or founder experience is a strong plus
  • Deep familiarity with developer ecosystems and active involvement in the dev community
  • Proven experience building integrations, plugins, SDKs, or platform extensions
  • Hands-on experience with GenAI and LLM tooling, including:
  • LLM and agent integrations
  • MCPs or similar protocol-based systems
  • Tools, widgets, or workflows inside LLM environments
  • Gemini Gems, ChatGPT tools, or similar extensibility models
  • Experience with automation/workflow tools (e.g. n8n) is a plus
  • Strong understanding of cloud architecture, DevOps, and production systems
  • Full-stack in the broad sense: infrastructure, APIs, systems, integrations (frontend polish is secondary)
  • Curious, fast-learning, pragmatic, and biased toward shipping
