Who We Are

LibLab is an engineering company, by developers, for developers. Founded in 2022, LibLab was created to transform how client libraries are made. Building and maintaining SDKs in multiple languages at the same time is hard to get right. LibLab takes care of all of its clients SDK needs and helps them generate, maintain and monitor their SDKs.

API’s are everywhere. And while API’s are the quickest way to expose your service to the world, they’re not always what developers want to use. Instead most developers want an SDK for the programming language that they are using to build their app. This is where LibLab comes in.

With LibLab its clients can can build developer friendly, human readable SDKs in minutes. From their OpenAPI, Swagger, or GraphQL spec. It's as simple as installing the LibLab CLI, logging in, initialize the project and configure the options. And that’s it. LibLab's clients and their customers can now build amazing applications with their new SDK.

LibLab will not only build SDK’s in multiple languages, but will also create full SDK documentation including code samples. LibLab can also integrate with CI/CD pipelines such as through GitHub Actions. So every time a client updates their API , their SDK gets updated too.

About The Role

LibLab is looking for an Engineering Manager who will be responsible for managing a group of 10 engineers from a human and technical perspective. Engineering team leads are expected to be hands-on leaders than can plan projects, review code, and contribute when they have the bandwidth. They will be working across multiple stacks of technologies and will be in charge of building and maintaining the core parts of our platform.

While Liblab is a remote first company with no physical office, we are currently focusing on hiring folks who currently live in and around the Austin, Texas metropolitan area. Currently, every step of the organizational life of a LibLab employee (e.g., hiring, onboarding) is performed remotely. However, we'd like to have a centralized "hub" where folks can collaborate face-to-face from time-to-time.
