Job Description

Join the API Revolution at Gravitee—Where Innovation Meets Growth

Since our beginnings in 2015, Gravitee has grown into a global force, recognized as a 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant™ Leader for API Management. What started with four developers challenging the complexities of APIs has evolved into a revolutionary platform powering API and event stream ecosystems worldwide. We’re driving digital transformation for top enterprises, from Michelin to Roche to Blue Yonder and beyond, offering unmatched control over APIs and event streams.

Our rapid growth and leadership in API management are fueled by our team’s commitment to excellence and our core values:

  • Passion : We bring excitement to everything we do, constantly innovating to stay ahead of the curve.
  • Hold Nothing Back : We go above and beyond to help customers and teammates succeed, holding ourselves to the highest standards.
  • Professionalism : We believe in clear, respectful communication and prioritize the needs of our team and customers.

Join us on this journey. Be part of a team that’s redefining what’s possible in API management, and shaping the future of digital transformation. The possibilities are endless—be a part of the revolution!

THE ROLE & WHY IT EXISTS

Gravitee is building a global brand in API and event stream management and we need a public-facing technical leader to scale our U.S. presence. This role bridges deep technical credibility with strategic evangelism. You’ll act as our go-to closer for high-stakes enterprise deals, a speaker and writer who sets the narrative in the API space, and a trusted voice bringing market insights back into our product roadmap.

You’ll be our U.S.-based technical evangelist with real product influence and field power. Gravitee is backed by strong enterprise adoption, a top spot in the Gartner MQ, and a deep investment in generative AI. This is a rare chance to shape the public face of a technical product and have your name on it.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Drive Enterprise Deal Confidence: Join US sales cycles as Gravitee’s most trusted technical voice. You’ll be the person Gravitee sends when technical validation and vision make or break the deal.
  • Lead Technical Storytelling:  Publish thought pieces, diagrams, and deep dives on APIs, protocols, and emerging architecture patterns. Make Gravitee a known voice in the dev/architect community.
  • Strengthen Our Technical Brand: Create and post content that shapes how Gravitee is perceived, protocol trends, whiteboards, deep dives, and more. You’ll write it, own it, and be visible doing it.
  • Represent Gravitee at Conferences & Events: Act as the face of Gravitee at industry conferences, meetups, and technical events, showcasing Gravitee’s thought leadership and technical expertise
  • Customer & Market Engagement: Work directly with customers to understand their technical challenges, provide guidance on how Gravitee can address their needs, and bring insights back to the product team to inform future development.
  • Connect Market Back to Product: Bring structured feedback from customer conversations directly into Gravitee’s product and engineering orgs.

Essential Skills

  • 7–12 years of experience in hands-on technical roles, particularly in customer-facing technical advisory and pre-sales environments.
  • Strong expertise in API technologies, API management, integration ecosystems, or event-driven architecture (bonus if you bring AI experience too)
  • Proven thought leadership, with published articles, blog posts, conference talks, or webinars
  • Excellent communicator with the ability to break down complex concepts for both technical and non-technical audiences

Who You Are

  • You're comfortable in pre-sales environments. You demo, diagram, and debate. You’re not a figurehead; you know how the tech works.
  • Deep knowledge of APIs, event-driven systems, or integration platforms (bonus points if you’ve lived in all three)
  • External presence. You’ve got blog posts, talks, panels, or webinars to your name. If we Google you, we find you.
  • API-native or developer-first DNA. You’ve worked in a devtool, platform, or infra company where the buyer is technical.
  • Technical storytelling skills. You don’t just explain tech. You make people care about it.
  • Low ego, all execution. You’re hands-on and thrive in a role that involves frequent travel and external visibility.

AT GRAVITEE, YOU’LL GET…

  • Salary of up to $290k OTE 
  • Excellent medical coverage to keep your body and mind healthy
  • Pension and 401k program options for all locations
  • Stock option plan for employees
  • 25 days holiday/vacation in addition to in-country national holidays
  • 3 mental health days per year with an allowance toward a mood-boosting activity of your choice
  • Birthday off to celebrate your day
  • Learn and grow with our professional development allowance to be used to benefit your career
  • Quarterly outings and an annual off-site in an exciting location!
  • Hybrid culture with options to go in to an office in one of our hubs
  • Ability to work for one of the fastest-growing companies and alongside some of the most talented people in the API technology sector
  • A meaningful, progressive, global company culture that is as fun as it is hardworking
  • Endless growth opportunities
