Developer Success Engineering at Inngest is a unique combination between hands-on engineering, problem-solving and human connection.
Inngest builds novel infrastructure for AI-first companies, which means we’re creating first-of-its-kind solutions. And as an infrastructure company, helping the developers that use us to succeed is mission critical.
As a Developer Success Engineer, you’ll be the bridge between our product and the people who use it.
You’ll work directly with developers: helping plan their architecture, solving problems, debugging issues, offering guidance, and ensuring they get the most out of Inngest. Just as importantly, you’ll feed those learnings back into the product — helping us refine docs, shape features, and eliminate friction wherever possible.
This is an engineering role at its core, but much of your day will involve supporting developers and troubleshooting issues. We want you to have the autonomy to make this role your own while ensuring our users get the support they need.
As with any support, there will be miscellaneous questions and concerns like billing, compliance, to a 5,000-word message generated by a user’s AI agent. Being able to investigate properly and help users with any concern is important here. As an engineer yourself, provide the kind of support you'd want to receive from a vendor.
What you'll do
Deliver expert-level support to developers, from simple implementation troubleshooting to in-depth architectural guidance. Be an active presence to our enterprise users.
Be a prominent voice on behalf of our users on our internal product planning discussions.
Track down and document bugs, working closely with the engineers on solutions.
Identify and document feature requests, proactively uncover opportunities for product improvements, and help get them prioritized
Contribute to both internal and public-facing documentation, use cases and examples.
Support sales-led POCs.
Develop and improve internal tools and integrations that optimize our support workflows and enhance the overall developer experience and make delivering support better and easier.
Ideal candidate
Expertise in TypeScript development, with openness to new languages (eg. Python, Golang).
Knowledge and experience with queueing systems
Outstanding written and verbal communication skills
Ability to quickly understand and debug complex technical issues
A track record of helping other developers succeed
Deep empathy for developers and commitment to excellent developer experience
Bonus points
Experience working with Inngest
Experience measuring customer success
Experience with infrastructure
What your first 90 days will look like
First week: You’ll learn how we work as a team and our approach to support and sales. You’ll dive into dogfooding our product and begin to understand how it works architecturally, and how our users work with it. You’ll begin to shadow our existing support rotation to learn about how things work.
By day 30: You’ll dive in daily to help developers and our support inbox. You’ll have joined a few sales calls to learn about solutions engineering and supporting PoCs.
By day 90: You’ll have iterated on our workflow for delivering customer support and build or suggest a couple of tools to help make this workflow better. You’ll have set up a way to organize feedback and issues from users to our product team. You’ll have provided feedback on our product that will have led to improvements.
What we build with
Support: Plain, Slack channels for enterprise customers, Discord
Backend: Go, Postgres, Redis, PubSub, FoundationDB and… Inngest (of course)
Frontend: TypeScript, React & Next.js. Tailwind, Tanstack, & Radix primitives
GraphQL and REST APIs
Hosted on bare metal, GCP, AWS, and Vercel
Github, Linear, Slack, Notion, Figma

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:
The job is in San Francisco, CA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How San Francisco compares. Among the 145 largest places in California, San Francisco is #4 by population, #139 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #20 for remote work (#1 = most), #25 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, San Francisco County, is #3 of 58 counties for average pay ($174,103).
San Francisco has 830,235 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 2.1% of the population of California. It covers 47 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 17,784 people per square mile. The median age is 40.0, 6% older than the state median (40.0 against 37.9).
The median gross rent is $2,476 a month (rent plus utilities), 22% above the state median ($2,476 against $2,036). Over a year that is 21.1% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $1,394,500, which is 9.9 times the median household income ($140,970); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 38.2% of households own their home, 32% below the state average (38.2% against 55.9%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
The San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA metropolitan area has 2,373,920 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $74,260 a year, 46% above the national median ($74,260 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (226,320 jobs, median $62,120); management (223,100 jobs, median $176,340); business and financial operations (207,030 jobs, median $112,960). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (1.9 times) and life, physical, and social science (1.8 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($176,340) and computer and mathematical ($167,770). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of San Francisco County was 4.0%. 69.6% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in San Francisco County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 28.6% drive alone, 18.7% use public transit, 9.3% walk, 31.0% work from home. 21.6% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 11% above the state average (21.6% against 19.4%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.
60.3% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 63% above the state share (60.3% against 37.1%). 34.0% of residents were born outside the United States, 26% above the state share (34.0% against 27.0%). The poverty rate is 11.2%, 7% below the state rate (11.2% against 12.0%).
The warmest month is Sep, averaging 59°F (14.9°C), and the coolest is Apr at 53°F (11.6°C). About 515 mm (20 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (112 mm) and Jul the driest (2 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: Daly City (31 miles, rent 3% higher); Pacifica (31 miles, rent 25% higher); San Bruno (34 miles, rent 12% higher); Millbrae (36 miles, rent 32% higher). Rent differences are against San Francisco; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
