Job Description:

You'll work directly with our CEO, Alex, capturing insights from meetings and conversations and turning them into documented decisions, memos, strategic communications, and external narratives. You'll help define how the world sees Stainless—establishing our voice as we create new categories in developer tooling and SDK generation. You'll sit in on meetings across product, engineering, strategy, and operations, then synthesize what you hear into clear documentation for internal stakeholders and potentially compelling narratives for external audiences. This role reports to the CEO and is onsite at our office in Manhattan.

Job Responsibility:

  • Attend meetings with Alex and capture key decisions, insights, and action items in real-time
  • Serve as a “ghost writer.” Draft messages, documentation for our operating manual, and internal communications based on Alex's verbal processing
  • Synthesize complex technical and business discussions into clear, actionable documents
  • Route information to the right stakeholders and ensure loops get closed on important initiatives
  • Learn deeply about API specifications, SDK generation, developer tooling, and how technical companies scale
  • Contribute strategically as you gain context on the business
  • Partner with leadership across Engineering, Product, Operations, and GTM

Requirements:

  • 0-3 years out of school with a CS degree or minor (or equivalent technical background)
  • Outstanding writer who can distill complex ideas quickly and clearly
  • Understand basic technical concepts—know the difference between Vercel and Shopify, can follow technical conversations, and are eager to learn more
  • Exceptionally sharp: high IQ, high EQ, and high slope—learn fast and take initiative
  • Want to start a company someday and are seeking an accelerated learning opportunity
  • Thrive in ambiguity, context-switch rapidly, and can turn verbal brain dumps into structured documentation and strategy
  • Have started something before: a business, a club, a project, a student org
  • anything that shows you're a builder at heart
What we offer:
  • Competitive salary and generous equity grants
  • Great healthcare coverage options (e.g., fully covered platinum plans)
  • Paid commuter benefits & similar
  • Paid team lunch/meals during workdays
  • Flexible PTO plus 3 weeks of company-wide vacation a year (2 weeks in December, 1 week at the end of the summer)
  • Flexible WFH and 1 month fully remote per year ("remote February")
