Developer Relations Manager

About The Role   Boson AI builds real-time speech and multimodal AI that makes talking to AI feel like talking to people. Our Higgs models listen, speak, and see. Higgs Realtime is a speech-to-speech API with tool calling and support for 100+ languages, and it is drop-in compatible with the OpenAI Realtime API. Higgs TTS 3 is an expressive, open-weight text-to-speech model with zero-shot voice cloning. Higgs Avatar turns a single image into a streaming, talking video. Thousands of developers already build on our open models on GitHub and Hugging Face.   We are hiring our first Developer Relations Manager to own the developer journey, from first hearing about Higgs to shipping a production voice agent on it. This is a hands-on role. You will build with our models, explain them clearly, find where developers get stuck, and work with research and engineering to fix it.   You should be as comfortable writing Python against a streaming WebSocket API as you are writing a tutorial, triaging a GitHub issue, or demoing a voice agent live on stage. You will start as a senior individual contributor with real ownership, and you'll have room to build a team as the program grows.   The role is based at our Santa Clara HQ on a hybrid schedule, with at least three days a week in the office. Expect up to 20% travel for conferences, hackathons, and partner events.

What You'll Do

• Make the first hour great. Own the quickstarts, notebooks, sample apps, and API walkthroughs that take a developer from an API key to first audio in minutes, and then on to a production-quality application
• Build reference applications that show what Higgs makes possible: real-time voice and avatar agents, STT + LLM + TTS pipelines, multilingual and expressive speech, streaming low-latency apps, and drop-in migrations from the OpenAI Realtime API
• Own our ecosystem integrations, including Pipecat, LiveKit, Twilio and SIP telephony, and SGLang and vLLM. Take each one from first prototype to maintained, documented, and announced
• Be our technical voice in public. Write blog posts, record demo videos and livestreams, give talks, and run workshops and hackathons
• Show up where developers are, on GitHub, Hugging Face, X, Reddit, and LinkedIn. Answer questions, triage issues on our open-source repos, and build a community around Boson AI, including a home for it
• Help developers make good tradeoffs: quality vs. latency vs. cost, open weights vs. hosted API, self-hosting vs. managed, and how to handle streaming, tool calling, turn-taking, and multilingual behavior
• Be the voice of developers inside Boson. Turn recurring friction into prioritized, tracked fixes with product, research, and engineering. That friction includes unclear docs, missing SDKs, API rough edges, deployment blockers, pricing questions, and model limitations
