About the Role
This developer relations role sits at the intersection of technical community building, developer advocacy, and growth at an early-stage AI infrastructure company. You will help establish its San Francisco presence, connect with developers building in AI and machine learning, and turn community insights into measurable product and go-to-market outcomes.
What You'll Do
-
Build and host recurring meetups for the San Francisco AI and machine learning infrastructure community.
-
Represent the company at relevant meetups, hackathons, and conferences, and build lasting relationships with developers.
-
Create and share technical content, including talks, blog posts, social content, and demo videos.
-
Demonstrate Python-based tools live, answer technical questions, read code, and troubleshoot with engineering audiences.
-
Connect product usage, GitHub activity, and CRM data using tools such as Mixpanel, GitHub APIs, and Attio to support lead scoring and follow-up.
-
Share community feedback and market signals with product and go-to-market teams.
What We're Looking For
-
At least 2 years of experience in developer relations, community building, growth, or developer-facing go-to-market work, with measurable event or business outcomes.
-
Proficiency with Python, APIs, and production code, and the ability to demo technical products and troubleshoot live.
-
Experience building and measuring community engagement workflows with CRM, enrichment, automation, and LLM-based tools.
-
Background in an early-stage or resource-constrained environment, with the ability to own initiatives independently.
-
Experience creating technical content and working with open-source communities, GitHub audiences, and product-led or usage-based growth.
-
Familiarity with AI, machine learning infrastructure, MLOps, or related developer platforms, plus a professional network in the San Francisco community.
