Speakeasy provides the AI control plane for enterprises.
We help companies securely scale usage of AI with a platform to centrally manage MCPs, Skills, and Assistants your whole company can use, with fine-grained permissions, threat detection, and full observability.
We are a fast growing venture backed team based out of San Francisco and London. We have a track record of building developer tools and infrastructure widely used from Fortune 500 to well known startups.
Working at Speakeasy as an engineer means being a product owner, collaborating closely with GTM and owning product decisions from inception to customer success. We care deeply about craft, quality and execution.
About the AI control plane
Our platform enables enterprises and fast-moving startups to get the most out of Claude, Codex, Cursor and other providers by
- Leveraging enterprise identity systems to secure access to MCP servers
- Securing agent sessions to ensure sensitive data and enterprise policies are respected.
- Providing easy to use primitives to build new mcps, skills and assistants (secure claw)
- Deeply understand AI usage within an organisation from tool use, token spend, and complete agent sessions.
About the Role This is a unique, high-impact opportunity to join a passionate team about an intuitive craft to enable solving green field and hard product problems.
You’ll be working on an early product with a fast moving team that’s done this before and collaborating with founders (and customers) directly on a daily basis. Some of the ways you will have impact:
- Identify architectural changes to improve reliability, performance and availability.
- Foster a culture of reliability across Speakeasy's engineering organization.
- Design and implement key operational processes such as deployments, upgrades, rollbacks, and postmortem review.
- Join a core engineering team and participate in on-call rotation, responding to production incidents.
- Build monitoring systems that ensure the highest quality service for our customers.
- Debug production issues across all services and levels of the stack.
You’re a good fit if...
- You want to join a talent-dense team made up of ex-founders and domain experts across various developer tools, languages, and infrastructure (in fact over a quarter of the team https://x.com/benln/status/1990086675096064379?s=20).
- Ownership excites you in the full lifecycle of development: building, shipping, running support, maintaining infrastructure and measuring impact.
- You have a record of full agency in improving a product's reliability and uptime.
- You have an exceptional ability to learn, pickup new frameworks, and can work across the stack from backend to frontend.
- Ability to participate in on-call rotation and respond to production incidents.
- Ability to work in person in our San Francisco Office
