Staff Backend Engineer- Agent Experience (AX)

About the role

Cloudinary is the media experience platform trusted by millions of developers and thousands of companies - from fast-growing startups to the world's largest brands - to power the images and video behind their digital experiences. Something fundamental is changing about who uses that platform. Increasingly, the "developer" calling our APIs isn't a person - it's an agent: an LLM, a coding assistant, an autonomous pipeline acting on a human's behalf. Our Agent Experience (AX) R&D team exists to make Cloudinary the default media layer those agents run on. Our guiding principle is simple: make agentic workflows work flawlessly with no friction. We're a small, fast, high-ownership team, and we're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to make Cloudinary work for agents - both by building new agent-facing infrastructure and by reshaping our existing platform for a world where the caller is a machine. Some of this is greenfield. Much of it is taking APIs, auth, and SDKs and making them ergonomic, legible, and reliable for agents. It's a problem the whole industry is still figuring out. You'll help define what great API design looks like when the caller is not a human developer, but an agent acting on their behalf. Cloudinary is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. #LI-BP1
