About the role
We’re looking for a founding Developer Relations Engineer to help make Linkup the most exciting AI company for developers.
You’ll shape how developers discover, understand, and build with Linkup — creating demos, SDKs, content, and experiences that inspire builders and accelerate adoption.
This is a hands-on, outward-facing role that combines engineering, storytelling, and community. You’ll work closely with our product, GTM, and marketing teams to build relationships, run events, and shape how developers experience Linkup — from local meetups to global hackathons.
You’ll combine technical depth with creative communication — helping developers adopt Linkup through hands-on projects, public demos, and community engagement
What You’ll Do
-
Be on the ground: attend and host local events, run meetups, and build relationships across the Bay Area and US developer ecosystem.
-
Build and ship polished demos, sample apps, and starter kits that showcase what’s possible with Linkup’s APIs.
-
Develop and maintain SDKs, templates, and reference implementations for AI and agentic workflows.
-
Design and deliver workshops and presentations that teach developers how to integrate Linkup into real products.
-
Produce technical content — blog posts, tutorials, videos, and benchmarks that make complex tech approachable.
-
Collaborate with product, GTM, and solutions teams to turn developer success stories into public examples and resources.
-
Collect and synthesize developer feedback to inform product and developer experience priorities.
-
Build partnerships with other tech companies to co-host events and create shared demos.
-
Track impact: measure content and community performance, iterate on formats, and scale what resonates.
Requirements
You’re a great match if you:
-
Have 3+ years of relevant experience, working directly with developers in organizations/platforms that service them
-
Have strong engineering skills (JavaScript/TypeScript or Python) and a creative streak.
-
Love shipping fast, creative, and beautifully polished projects.
