Developer Experience

Deliver a world-class developer experience.

Chroma is the only retrieval system for AI application development that actually produces a positive emotional reaction in its users. Using Chroma makes people happy.

We’ve invested heavily in design and DX, and our attention to detail is a large part of the reasons millions of developers around the world use Chroma. They are a core part of our strategy to make Chroma the ubiquitous open source standard for retrieval.

As a Member of the Technical Staff - Developer Experience, you will have a broad mandate to make Chroma’s DX incredible for users and contributors across the development lifecycle of prototype, staging, and production.

Your work in this role will make your friends and millions of other developers happy when they use Chroma.

We can’t write the script for you - we can’t give you a backlog of tickets to burn down. This role requires proactivity and rolling up your sleeves.

This is not a “developer relations” role. While you will likely interface with the community on Github and Discord to keep your ear to the ground, we expect the vast majority if your time will be writing great software in deep collaboration with other teams at Chroma.

• You have 2+ years of professional engineering experience
• You hold yourself to a high bar of quality, craft, and speed
• You’ve probably worked in early stage startups or early stage teams and can ruthlessly prioritize and design your own roadmaps.
• You enjoy identifying and solving problems!
• You intuitively understand and have strong opinions about what great developer experience looks like and feels like.
• Experience with contributing to and/or maintaining significant open source project is desirable

Retrieval is the data infrastructure for AI and a critical component in this new software development stack.

Chroma is proud to be the leading retrieval system, trusted and loved by developers around the world.

We’re still in the pre-history of AI. We’re looking for curious people who are dedicated to becoming world-class at their craft to join our team.

There is a lot of important work to do. Join us.
