About the role

As a Developer Relations Lead , you will own the developer community that forms around Zyphra’s open-source models and Zyphra’s AI agent, Maia from the ground up. You will be the primary face of Zyphra to the global developer community, building and scaling our presence on GitHub, Discord, X, and at the industry events that matter most. This is not a content production role. You are a technically credible practitioner who is also a natural community builder: someone developers trust, follow, and build with.

What they're looking for

  • A genuine community participant, you have built with open-source AI models, understand how developers think about evaluating and integrating foundation models, and can speak credibly in technical conversations with researchers and engineers
  • 3–6 years of experience in developer relations, developer advocacy, open-source community management, or a closely related technical role at an AI, ML, or developer tools company
  • Demonstrated track record of building or meaningfully growing a technical developer community measured in GitHub engagement, Discord or Slack membership, social following, or conference presence
  • Comfort and credibility on stage: you have spoken at developer conferences, hosted workshops, or led technical demos in front of audiences of engineers
  • Strong technical foundation in AI and machine learning, you understand model architecture, inference, fine-tuning, and deployment well enough to engage authentically with the developers building on Zyphra’s models and Maia
  • A natural communicator who can explain highly technical concepts clearly across formats: live presentations, written posts, short-form social content, and one-on-one developer conversations
