Job description

You’ll be our Developer Relations hire and the architect of everything community. This is a senior IC role with a mandate to build a team.

What you’ll do

  • Set the vision and execute the community strategy - programs, channels, metrics, and rituals that attract robotics developers, AI researchers, students, etc.
  • Write and publish technical content: tutorials, integration guides, architecture teardowns. Ship real code. Publish under your name.
  • Be the developer’s voice inside the company - own the feedback loop from community friction to product roadmap.
  • Design and run hackathons, workshops, developer days, etc.
  • Hire and grow the DevRel team starting with a Developer Advocate in Month 4

Requirements

  • Technical depth in robotics or adjacent systems - control, planning, simulation, edge compute, physical AI, etc.
  • Real code you can point to: SDK integrations, sample apps, open-source contributions in robotics or AI
  • 5+ years in developer relations, solutions engineering, or technical advocacy - with time actually building a community, not adjacent to one
  • Strong writer. You know the difference between a tutorial and a reference doc and you care about both.
  • Builder mentality. No playbook exists. You’ll write it.
  • Based in or willing to relocate to the Bay Area - robots are physical, you need to be on-site.

Strong bonus:

  • Prior 0-to-1 community build
  • Open-source project with real traction
  • Physical AI or embodied AI background
  • Conference speaker
  • University research network
