Lead is a banking infrastructure platform trusted by the most innovative companies to power complex financial products. We enable fintechs to offer compliant, programmable services like payments, lending, and digital assets at scale. Banking has moved beyond traditional institutions and is now embedded directly into everyday experiences, meaning companies need modern infrastructure that is safe, secure, and operationally sound. Today, Lead is one of the only API-first, developer-focused partner banks with the financial, regulatory, and legal expertise required to help fintechs succeed. We operate offices in San Francisco, Sunnyvale, and New York City, and an FDIC-insured bank in Kansas City.
Role Description
At Lead, we believe the developer experience is part of the product. As our platform grows, the quality of that experience — how partners learn what's changing, integrate, and build with confidence — will become one of our greatest competitive advantages. This role exists to make building on Lead as intuitive and enjoyable as using the products we build. We're looking for a Developer Experience Lead to own two connected surfaces end to end: our developer documentation, and the communications partners rely on to understand and prepare for platform change. From API references, guides, and changelogs to feature-rollout notices, deprecation timelines, and upcoming-changes announcements, you'll shape every touchpoint developers encounter as they build on and grow with Lead. This is a senior individual-contributor role with real autonomy. You'll operate independently, own your roadmap, and be the single accountable owner for how partners experience documentation and change communication. It's also a role with runway: as the surface and volume grow, we expect this person to define the standards, processes, and — over time — the team that scales developer experience across the company. If you're passionate about reducing complexity, treating documentation and communication as products rather than afterthoughts, and giving developers an experience they'll rave about, we'd love to talk.
Responsibilities
Developer Documentation:
- Own the strategy, roadmap, and day-to-day management of docs.lead.bank.
- Treat documentation as a product by continuously improving usability, discoverability, information architecture, and developer workflows.
- Build implementation guides, tutorials, diagrams, quickstarts, and reference documentation that reduce time-to-first-success for developers.
- Develop and maintain documentation standards, style guides, and editorial processes, including stewardship of the API Style Guide.
- Measure documentation effectiveness using search analytics, user feedback, and adoption metrics, and close the loop on what you learn.
- Collaborate with Product and Engineering early in feature development so documentation ships alongside releases, not after.
Partner & Release Communications:
- Own the partner-facing communication surface for planned platform change: feature rollouts, deprecations, and breaking changes.
- Own the Changelog and Upcoming Changes page as the single source of truth for what's changing and when, keeping timelines current as they firm up.
- Steward the notice-period discipline for breaking changes — clear expectations, consistent lead times, explicit required actions.
- Run the intake-to-publish workflow: partner with Product and Engineering to capture the technical details, then edit for clarity, customer impact, and a single consistent voice before publishing.
- Ensure every partner communication answers, in order: what changed, why it matters to the partner, what they need to do, and where to learn more.
Technical Content & Developer Education:
- Partner with engineers and product managers to translate complex technical concepts — including our object model and API design — into clear, developer-friendly content.
- Create onboarding guides, implementation playbooks, architecture diagrams, sample applications, and migration guides that help developers succeed faster.
- Support Product Marketing with technical thought leadership and educational content, and identify opportunities for guides, videos, and developer showcases.
AI & Documentation Operations:
- Leverage AI to improve documentation creation, maintenance, quality assurance, and content operations.
- Build repeatable workflows that let Engineering and Product contribute documentation efficiently.
- Continuously improve the systems behind documentation and communications, not just the content itself.
- Evaluate emerging AI tools and documentation technologies to keep the developer experience ahead of the curve.
Building the Function:
- Define the standards, processes, and operating rhythms that let a small team eventually support this surface without fragmenting quality or voice.
Qualifications
- 6+ years across developer experience, developer education, technical writing, developer-facing product marketing, or related disciplines.
- Exceptional written communication with an obsession for clarity and usability, and the judgment to write calmly and precisely about change that affects partners in production.
- Able to read an API specification and reason about an object model — you understand the systems you're documenting, not just how to phrase them.
- Experience working closely with engineering teams and technical, API-first products.
- Strong product instincts and genuine empathy for developers.
- Experience with documentation platforms such as Mintlify, ReadMe, GitBook, or Docusaurus, and comfort with docs-as-code workflows and GitHub.
- Comfortable using AI tools to improve documentation and content workflows.
- A track record of setting standards and operating independently — evidence you can own a surface end to end.
Bonus if you've...
- Built documentation as a product and measured its quality through analytics.
- Owned developer or partner communications for platform change.
- Designed developer onboarding experiences or created reference architectures.
- Written SDK documentation or worked on API-first platforms.
- Worked in fintech, payments, or another regulated, high-trust domain.
Success In This Role Looks Like
- Developers integrate faster, with fewer support requests.
- Documentation becomes a competitive differentiator for Lead.
- Partners always know what's changing before it ships, and trust the Upcoming Changes page as part of their workflow.
- Product launches and breaking changes ship with complete, consistent, high-quality documentation and communication.
- Engineering and Product treat documentation and partner communication as an integral part of the development lifecycle.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Developer Experience
Document your specialized DevEx credentials early
Gather performance reviews, internal tooling documentation, and any evidence that your Developer Experience work required a specific technical degree. PERM audits often hinge on proving the role genuinely demands a specialty occupation, so contemporaneous records carry more weight than reconstructed ones.
Target employers with active PERM filing history
Search DOL OFLC disclosure data for companies that have filed PERM applications under software developer or DevEx-adjacent SOC codes. A history of successful certifications signals that their HR and legal teams already understand the process for technical roles like yours.
Find green card sponsoring DevEx jobs on Migrate Mate
Filter by EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship availability and Developer Experience job titles on Migrate Mate. The platform surfaces employers with verified sponsorship history, saving you from applying to roles where sponsorship is an afterthought rather than a budgeted commitment.
Clarify the prevailing wage tier before accepting an offer
Use the OFLC Wage Search to check the Level I through Level IV wage for your SOC code and work location. Your offered salary must meet or exceed the certified wage on the LCA, and a mismatch discovered late can delay your PERM filing significantly.
Negotiate green card language into your offer letter
Ask that your offer letter or employment agreement explicitly states the employer's intent to sponsor PERM. Without written commitment, the process can stall after you start, and changing employers mid-PERM typically restarts the labor certification clock.
Understand how EB-2 versus EB-3 affects your timeline
DevEx roles requiring a master's degree or equivalent professional credentials may qualify under EB-2, which can mean shorter wait times for some nationalities. Confirm which category your job offer supports with your employer's immigration counsel before USCIS files the I-140.
Green Card Developer Experience: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Developer Experience roles qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Most Developer Experience positions qualify under EB-3 as skilled workers when the role requires a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field. If the position requires an advanced degree or you can demonstrate credentials equivalent to a master's degree, EB-2 may apply. Your employer's immigration attorney determines the correct category based on the actual job duties and minimum requirements documented in the PERM application.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B sponsorship for Developer Experience roles?
Green card sponsorship through PERM leads to permanent residency rather than a temporary status tied to a single employer. There is no annual lottery for EB-3 labor certifications, so your employer can file at any time. The tradeoff is timeline: PERM requires a mandatory DOL recruitment process before USCIS even reviews your I-140, making the overall path longer than an H-1B visa extension but permanent in outcome.
What does the PERM labor certification process require from a DevEx job applicant?
PERM is primarily an employer-driven process. Your employer posts the role publicly, runs DOL-mandated recruitment steps, and certifies that no qualified U.S. worker was displaced. Your role is to provide accurate employment history, educational credentials, and any documentation supporting your qualifications. If DOL audits the application, detailed records of your specialized DevEx experience become critical evidence for your employer's attorney.
How can I find Developer Experience jobs where the employer already sponsors green cards?
Search Migrate Mate to filter Developer Experience roles by employers with EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship history. Many companies list green card sponsorship only in their internal HR budget, not in job postings, so identifying employers with documented PERM filing history through a sponsorship-focused platform is more reliable than reading job descriptions alone.
Can I switch employers after my PERM is filed for a Developer Experience role?
Changing employers after PERM is filed but before your I-140 is approved generally restarts the labor certification process because PERM is employer-specific. Once your I-140 has been approved for at least 180 days, portability rules under AC21 may allow you to move to a same or similar Developer Experience role without losing your priority date, but confirm eligibility with an immigration attorney before making any move.
