Head of Developer Relations

About Superconductor

Superconductor is building the autonomous software organization — a platform where agents don't wait for instructions, but find work everywhere: in customer emails, bug reports, session replays, Slack threads, X posts, etc. Agents that work while you sleep.

We're a team of 7, backed by $7M in funding, and we intend to stay below ~25 humans hopefully forever. That means every hire matters enormously, and we compensate accordingly with highly competitive salary and equity.

We have been building software together for over a decade. We formerly co-founded Gradescope, an AI-powered education grading platform used by millions of students worldwide. Previously, we were AI PhD students at UC Berkeley. All in all, we are four developers, one designer, and two generalist operators, and we all wear multiple hats every day.

Our Values

• Customer obsession. We see every customer interaction — every support email, every bug report, every piece of feedback — as a chance to earn trust and build something better. Customer communication is our differentiator, not overhead.

• Speed with stability. We move fast, but we do not break things. We know that if something breaks, we're the ones fixing it — sometimes at night. We'd rather invest in getting it right the first time.

• Living in the future. We use Superconductor to build Superconductor. We adopt our own tools before anyone else and push them until they break. If something feels like the old way of building software, we question it.

• Small team, high standards. Every person on the team has outsized impact, outsized ownership, and outsized responsibility.

Working at Superconductor

• Hybrid from our East Bay office: 3 days in our easily BART-accessible office, 2 days from home.

• However, our agents work 24/7, and there's real value in having humans cover the night shift. If you are an exceptional candidate, please apply even if you're not in the Bay Area.

• Compensation: Highly competitive salary and meaningful equity — we're a small team that plans to stay small.

• Benefits: Flexible PTO, parental leave, health insurance, employee-friendly equity terms, and premium equipment.

• And of course, a practically unlimited token budget!

The Role

You will be one of the public faces of Superconductor and the chief evangelist of the "Self-Running Software Organization" — the idea that AI agents should always be working, that software can build itself, and that the world needs a LOT more quality software.

You'll build in public, create content that developers genuinely want to consume, and cultivate a community. You're not a marketer who talks about developers. You're a developer who happens to be a phenomenal communicator.

In your first month, you'll publish your first piece of content that reaches 100K+ developers, 5x our follower count, and launch a recurring series that developers actually subscribe to.

You'll do this by being an authentic, truly useful, and calm voice in the coding agent space.

By the way, you won’t be starting from scratch — we have a related newsletter and YouTube channel of 75K and 35K subscribers each.

What You'll Do

• Build in public using Superconductor, documenting workflows, wins, failures, and lessons learned

• Create a consistent stream of high-quality content across X/Twitter, YouTube, blog posts, podcasts, and conference talks

• Develop and evangelize the "Superconductor way" — opinionated frameworks and best practices for building with parallel coding agents

• Grow and engage a developer community around autonomous software development

• Collaborate with the product team to shape onboarding, documentation, and developer experience

You Are

• A credible developer with real engineering experience — you've shipped production software and can hold your own in technical conversations

• An established voice in the developer community with 5,000+ followers on X/Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, or a combination

• A natural storyteller who can translate complex technical concepts into compelling narratives

• Genuinely excited about AI coding agents and the future of software development

• Comfortable building in public, including sharing what doesn't work

Bonus Points

• You've had a relevant role at a quality company

• Experience with AI coding tools and you existing content about it

• You run or co-host a podcast, newsletter, or YouTube channel with a relevant audience
