WHY MERGE
- Merge solves a problem I've felt firsthand unifying messy third-party APIs across industries. Their Unified API platform offers developers the superpower to focus on the product, not the plumbing. I want to help build that backbone, especially as AI adoption accelerates and integration becomes the bottleneck for product teams.
- Availability: Available immediately for NYC hybrid or remote roles.
