Lead technical relationships with Japanese developers by providing integration support and troubleshooting for trading APIs. Develop SDKs, sample applications, and AI-powered tools to enhance the developer experience and product roadmap.
This is a remote position.
About the Opportunity
The company is looking for a Japanese-speaking Developer Advocate to lead the technical relationship with developers integrating its trading API. This role combines software engineering, developer experience, and technical consulting, making it ideal for someone who enjoys writing code, solving complex integration challenges, and improving the overall developer journey.
Rather than focusing on account management or sales, this is a hands-on engineering position. The successful candidate will develop SDKs, sample applications, AI-powered developer tools, and technical documentation while acting as the primary technical contact for Japanese clients throughout the integration process.
This is a fully remote role, available on either a full-time or part-time basis for candidates located anywhere in Europe.
