## About the role

This is our first community and developer relations hire. LightSprint sits at an unusual intersection: our most enthusiastic users are non-technical builders shipping to production for the first time, and the people they work with are engineers who need to trust what agents produce. You’ll be the voice between us and both audiences, building the community where they learn from each other, and making sure what we hear from them shapes what we build.

## What they're looking for

- You’ve done DevRel, community, or developer education at a developer tool or technical product, ideally early-stage, where you built the motion rather than inherited it. 3+ years of relevant experience
- You can use the product for real. You don’t need to be a professional engineer, but you can ship something with AI coding tools, read a PR, and explain a preview environment without notes
- Exceptional written and spoken communication. You make complex, technical things feel simple and exciting, to a PM and to a staff engineer, in the same piece
- You’re a builder of audiences. You have evidence: a community you grew, a following, a channel, a newsletter, something that shows people choose to listen to you
