About Fireworks

Fireworks’ state of the art training and inference platform take you beyond the frontier, transforming open models into your specialized intelligence. Backed by Bessemer, Index and Lightspeed.

About the role

Developers decide what infrastructure wins. They try three platforms in an afternoon, keep the one that got them to a working inference call fastest, and tell everyone else about it. As a Developer Advocate at Fireworks, you own a piece of that decision: you make Fireworks the platform developers reach for first when they want to build, fine-tune, and serve frontier open models in production. You do that by building things worth showing, not by talking about things other people built.

What they're looking for

  • You can code and read diffs. Strong Python, comfortable in TypeScript/JavaScript. You've built and deployed applications yourself, and you can review someone else's sample and tell whether it's good
  • A public track record. Technical writing, talks, videos, open-source work, or a following you earned. Something we can go read or watch that shows you can explain hard things well to engineers
  • Demonstrated speaking ability. You've presented at conferences, meetups, or workshops, and you're comfortable doing it on short notice about something that shipped last week
  • Learning velocity. You can go from "this paper came out Tuesday" to "here's a working implementation and an honest assessment" quickly, and you have a system for staying current rather than relying on luck
  • Ownership instinct. You pick your own topics, scope your own projects end to end, and don't need a content calendar handed to you. This role is early enough that you'll be defining the work as often as executing it

This role has a dual bar, and we mean both halves of it. You are a working engineer: you ship...
