X Developer Platform (Forward Deployed Engineer, X API)

Join X Developer Platform, a team dedicated to building solutions using X's extensive API set. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will work directly with Enterprise customers, create sample apps, improve developer experience tools, and author comprehensive how-to guides. You will have a passion for developer experience and a strong understanding of API design principles.

• Partner directly with Enterprise customers to understand their business needs and rapidly build production-grade solutions, prototypes, integrations, and accelerators using the X API platform.
• Design, develop, and maintain high-quality sample applications, starter kits, reference implementations, and code examples for both Enterprise teams and Indie developers to accelerate adoption and showcase best practices.
• Research, write, and continuously improve comprehensive how-to guides, tutorials, cookbook recipes, technical blogs, and educational content — with special emphasis on X API integrations, real-time data, AI Agents, LLMs, and emerging use cases.
• Ability to work comfortably and professionally with diverse stakeholders (software developers, product managers, technical executives, and business leaders) to define and deliver shared objectives
• 5+ years of experience in a customer-facing technical role (partner engineering, solutions architecture, developer relations, forward-deployed engineering, or similar) working directly with enterprise customers
• Strong attention to detail and a solution-oriented mindset that turns customer problems into scalable improvements
• Deep, genuine passion for developer experience (DevEx) — you instinctively identify friction and love removing it through better docs, tools, and accessible APIs
• Excellent project management skills with the ability to scope, execute, and drive initiatives autonomously in a fast-paced environment
• Outstanding verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to translate complex technical topics into clear, engaging documentation and presentations
• Exceptional coding proficiency in two or more languages (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, etc.) with a proven track record of shipping production-quality software, sample apps, prototypes, and developer tools
• Strong understanding of API design principles, REST/GraphQL, real-time streaming systems, authentication, and modern AI/agent workflows
• Hands-on experience building developer-facing assets: sample applications, reference implementations, DevEx tools, and high-quality technical documentation/guides
• Previous experience building or significantly contributing to developer platforms, tools, SDKs, interactive playgrounds, or educational content
• Industry experience in social media, enterprise software, data analytics, real-time/streaming data, or related spaces
• Hands-on knowledge of AI/Agent frameworks, LLM integrations, or building AI-powered applications on top of data APIs
• Strong familiarity with Rust, Scala (ideally), or JVM-based programming languages
• A public portfolio of sample apps, open-source contributions, technical blogs, guides, or DevEx tools that demonstrate your builder mindset and developer obsession
