## About the role

Every agent needs to retrieve information, and the developer building that agent makes the call about how. Our job is to make that decision easy: in the frameworks they're using, in the communities where they're engaging, and in the talks or demos that showed them what perfect search can do.

## What they're looking for

- 6+ years across developer relations, developer marketing, or engineering with a substantial public presence, including time at a company selling an API or developer platform
- Deep craft as a communicator to developers: talks, workshops, streams, or writing you can point to, and a live demo you are proud of
- Engineering credibility with the AI stack. You build with LLMs, agents, and retrieval, and you can hold a technical conversation with engineers
- A track record building community from an early stage
- Experience driving ecosystem or integration partnerships to shipped code, working with partner engineering teams and getting your integration maintained rather than merged and abandoned
- Experience hiring or mentoring DevRel talent, and a point of view on what separates good from great
