Our client is a high-growth, early-stage developer infrastructure startup that has recently secured $5M in seed funding from top-tier venture capital firms and prominent angel investors from OpenAI, Google, and Databricks. The company provides a modern approach to infrastructure-as-code purpose-built for the AI era.

• Events & Engagement: Represent the client's platform at industry events, traveling to major tech hubs like San Francisco and New York every 2–3 months for community engagement.

• Experience: 3 to 10 years of experience in developer relations, technical content creation, or developer tooling, preferably with a track record of 5+ years of total technical experience.
• Sector Background: Prior experience at an early-stage startup (Series A or earlier) within a developer infrastructure, cloud platform, or AI/ML tooling environment.
• Technical Proficiency: Fluent in TypeScript with the ability to independently write code, build working demos, and architect example applications. Strong familiarity with cloud infrastructure concepts and tools (e.g., AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform).
• Content Portfolio: A visible, public technical content portfolio demonstrating high-quality work across mediums such as YouTube videos, technical blogs, or detailed GitHub repositories.
• Location & Travel: Based in the United States with the ability to travel to San Francisco every 2–3 months for collaborative sessions and industry events.

• Competitive base salary ($130,000 - $200,000) along with meaningful founding-team equity.
• Remote-friendly work environment within the United States.
• Dedicated travel and assembly budget for team visits and community events.
• The opportunity to shape a technical product from the ground floor as part of a high-growth startup.
