Senior Software Engineer, Developer Experience

BitGo is growing our Toronto based hub and hiring Software Engineers across multiple teams. We're building robust and scalable systems to integrate new and existing blockchains, enabling secure custody and staking of funds totaling billions of dollars. We seek candidates with autonomy, a security-first mindset, expertise in distributed systems, and an understanding of the cryptocurrency landscape. If you're passionate about pushing the boundaries of blockchain technology and have experience in building scalable software, join us at BitGo to shape the future of digital assets.

This role is an on-site position in our Toronto office.

Responsibilities:

• Own the end-to-end creation of high-quality developer resources: documentation, integration guides, SDKs, sample apps, and interactive tutorials.
• Partner with engineering and product teams to understand BitGo's API behavior, real integrator use cases, and failure modes; translate these into accurate and ergonomic developer workflows.
• Lead the development of tooling, linting rules, and documentation pipelines that ensure consistent API documentation and reduce manual effort.
• Build a deep understanding of developer user journeys and use those insights to shape content strategy, information architecture, and integration guidance.
• Analyze support tickets, forum posts, and customer feedback to identify friction points and deliver content or tooling that removes them.
• Define and uphold standards for SDK design, documentation structure, changelogs, and code samples across all external-facing surfaces.
• Champion a developer-first culture, ensuring API and SDK design reviews consider clarity, stability, and integrator empathy.
• Strengthen operational excellence by improving documentation quality, maintainability, and accessibility, and by investing in automation that keeps docs accurate by default.

Required:

• 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering, with significant exposure to developer-facing products or APIs.
• Strong programming experience in JavaScript/TypeScript and deep familiarity with RESTful APIs, OpenAPI, and modern integration patterns.
• Demonstrated success working with product and engineering teams to influence API and SDK design based on external developer needs.
• Experience creating and maintaining internal tools, scripts, or pipelines to automate content generation, testing, or validation of developer artifacts.

Preferred:

• Experience building or contributing to SDKs, client libraries, or CLI tools for public APIs.
• Understanding of API versioning, breaking change detection, and changelog automation.
• Exposure to CI/CD workflows for publishing developer assets (e.g., SDKs, docs, examples).
• Passion for developer advocacy, technical education, or open-source contributions targeting integrator audiences.
• Familiarity with Rust.
