Meshy LLC

1d • $150,000 - $300,000

About The Position

Meshy’s Developer Platform team builds and operates the Meshy API, MCP Server, CLI, plugins, and documentation that let developers, studios, and AI agents integrate 3D generation into their products. The platform supports individual generation calls, multi-step pipelines such as texturing, rigging, and animation, and end-to-end agent workflows. A large and growing share of Meshy’s production traffic comes through this platform. The team works cross-functionally with internal model and infrastructure teams and with developers and customers.

The Senior Software Engineer, API will drive the engineering of Meshy’s developer-facing platform and tooling. The role treats the API and developer tools as products, identifying issues, incorporating feedback, and improving developer experience and performance. Responsibilities span the secure, reliable operation of core API systems, developer experience across API schemas and tooling, agent integrations, and contributions to platform strategy and roadmap. The position is full-time and located in Sunnyvale, California. Compensation is $150,000–$300,000 per year.

Requirements

• Strong engineering fundamentals and fluency in at least one of Go, Python, or TypeScript.
• Ability to ship from design to production independently.
• Experience shipping and operating a public API for a generative AI product, such as image, video, 3D, speech, or LLM products, including experience with versioning, deprecations, rate limits, long-running tasks, quotas and billing, and model version churn.
• Experience building and operating high-traffic backend services in production, including databases, caching, queues, and container orchestration.
• Deep, hands-on experience using Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or other coding agents to build and ship software.
• Experience building directly with LLM APIs or MCP and ability to explain what makes an API practically agent-friendly.
• Experience taking something from zero to one with real users and operating independently in a fast-paced environment with ambiguous requirements and goals.
• Willingness to apply product thinking and participate in product decisions.

Nice To Haves

• Experience maintaining official SDKs, a CLI, or an MCP server, and publishing and versioning packages on npm or PyPI.
• Hands-on experience with OpenAPI tooling, including specification linting, code, documentation, or SDK generation, and contract testing.
• Familiarity with 3D asset formats such as glTF/GLB, FBX, OBJ, and USD, or creator workflows in Blender, Three.js, Unity, or Unreal.
• A record of high-quality open-source contributions to libraries, tools, or documentation used by other developers.

Responsibilities

• Own the core systems behind the Meshy API and keep them secure, reliable, and performant as they scale.
• Drive developer experience for new Meshy capabilities across the API schema, MCP Server, CLI, and documentation, keeping the API and web product in lockstep.
• Build with Meshy as developers do, using developer pipelines and coding-agent workflows, and turn firsthand feedback into better API structure.
• Evolve the MCP Server, CLI, and agentic suite so coding agents can integrate Meshy effectively without human involvement.
• Contribute to developer platform strategy and roadmap, including engineering recommendations about surfaces and capabilities to invest in.
• Work directly with developers in the Meshy community and Fortune 500 enterprises to ship features, fix issues, and use feedback and usage data to improve the API and platform.

Benefits

• Flexible work environment.
• Opportunities for fast professional growth and development.
• Opportunity to work with a talented and passionate team at the forefront of AI and 3D technology.
• Inclusive culture that values creativity, innovation, and collaboration.
