About Pinecone:
Pinecone is on a mission to build the search and database technology to power AI applications for the next decade and beyond. Our fully managed vector database makes it easy to add vector search to AI applications. Since creating the “vector database” category, demand has grown incredibly fast and it shows in our user base. We are a distributed team with clusters in New York, San Francisco, Tel-Aviv, and Manchester.
About the Role:
If you’re excited about:
Helping upskill developers in the principles, practices, and tools that they need to be successful in AI
Boiling down complex topics into accessible, digestible content
Building a community of engineers invested in pushing the AI space forward
Working with people who value clarity, creativity, passion, initiative, and thoughtfulness.
Then this is your opportunity to join an early-stage, fast-growing, and well-funded startup to shape the course of an entire industry.
In this role, you will:
Be responsible for creating educational content that reflects Pinecone’s engineering excellence and serves not only our developer community, but the AI /ML community at large. You will bring your experience in the AI/ML space to bear not only on our product, but on current needs and future predictions about the industry as a whole. You will inform how Pinecone, and the Developer Relations team in particular, can ever-better serve our developer customers, now and in future. You will report to the Director of Developer Relations and work closely with the Product, Engineering and Marketing teams, as well as our executives.
You will:
Create educational content– presented and written– for Pinecone’s developer community, and developers in the AI space who are not yet Pinecone developers
Represent Pinecone at conferences, events, and summits that call for a strong understanding of not just our roadmap, but the direction of the industry
Work with a team of developer advocates to help uplevel our work across the board in the content and code we create
Serve as a liaison to the product team for information on trends and needs among the broader AI developer community
To succeed in this role, you must have depth of experience in the AI/ML space, be a polished speaker and communicator, and comfortable in front of a crowd– whether live or online. You must have a strong understanding of industry trends, and be able to engage with external stakeholders from customers to investors to research organizations and partners. If this sounds exciting, we want to hear from you!

10+ years of academic and industry experience in ML/AI
