Why join Sent?
Picture every order update and login code finding its customer on whichever channel works, with no developer wiring each carrier by hand. New York's Sent, a messaging API across SMS, WhatsApp and RCS, could make that the default way brands reach people. Bessemer Venture Partners, Flybridge and Plug and Play are among the leads on its $10M Series A, and 13 open roles span engineering, marketing and sales.
JustBacked's take, based on Sent's own site and its funding and hiring data.
About Sent
Sent is an infrastructure for sending A2P messages across SMS, WhatsApp, and RCS through a single unified API. Our intelligent routing model automates channel selection based on deliverability and cost, ensuring lower cost and global reach without any channel-specific integrations.
We recently closed a $12M Series A backed by Companyon Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, UIF, and others. We're hiring to build the best infrastructure to replace multi-channel messaging stacks.
The Role
We're hiring a Developer advocate to be the technical voice of Sent among developers. The job is to produce a steady stream of technical content, code, demos, posts, videos, talks, and to engage with developers where they actually hang out: Hacker News, X, Reddit, Discord servers, GitHub.
You'll write the tutorial that ranks for "how to send WhatsApp from Node.js." You'll attend events, conferences, hackathons, and host some in-house. You'll build the demo that gets passed around in a Slack channel. You'll be in the comments when someone asks how Sent compares to Twilio, and you'll have a useful answer ready.
What you'll do
Publish technical content on a regular cadence: tutorials, comparison posts, deep dives, working demos, sample apps
Maintain a strong personal presence on X, YouTube, Linkedin, other dev media channels, building an audience of developers who care about messaging infrastructure
Show up at developer conferences and meetups, sometimes speaking, sometimes running a booth, sometimes both
Host and co-host events and strategic hackathons, embedding Sent in the dev ecosystem
Own the SDK and quickstart developer experience end to end, and feed friction back to engineering
Run office hours, livestreams, or whatever format works to get builders engaged with the product
What you bring
At least 4 years working as a developer, with at least 1-2 of those years in DevRel, developer marketing, or as a public-facing technical IC
You ship code. You can build a working integration in a weekend and write up how you did it on Monday
A real portfolio of public technical content: blog posts, repos, talks, videos, or a following you've built yourself
Strong writing. You can explain a webhook signature flow without making the reader want to die
Comfort with messaging, telecom, or API infrastructure is a plus but not required
Our Commitment to You
Meaningful equity with high growth potential
Top-tier medical, dental, vision fully covered
401(k) with 100% match up to 4%
Unlimited PTO
New MacBook Pro + Apple Studio Display
Equinox membership stipend
