Represent our APIs at conferences, hackathons, and developer meetups - not as a booth rep, but as a credible builder who has shipped with our stack.
Run workshops, AMAs, and webinars that go deep on the Search API, Agent API, Embeddings, and MCP server.
Amplify developer projects publicly - on X, Discord, Reddit, and wherever the best builders congregate.
Build and operate the community
Own our developer forum, Discord, and Reddit presence - triage, moderate, and make sure no high-signal question goes unanswered.
Organize hackathons and build nights. Handle everything from prize scoping and API credit grants to live event support and post-event ROI writeups.
Convert repeated questions and friction points into docs updates, Cookbook examples, and better onboarding - close the loop between community and product.
Ship developer education that actually works
Write tutorials, changelogs, and technical blog posts that developers forward to each other - not marketing copy dressed up as docs.
Build and maintain Cookbook examples: RAG pipelines, agent workflows, multi-provider SDK demos, n8n integrations, MCP starters - things developers can run on day one.
Coordinate launch content across docs, social, Discord, and forum so every API release lands consistently and builds momentum.
Translate developer signal into product reality
Sit with developers to troubleshoot integrations - and synthesize those conversations into structured feedback for product and engineering.
Monitor the competitive landscape and surface differentiation opportunities for GTM and product teams.
Maintain the partner integration pipeline and help scale the Startups credits program beyond its current manual state.
About You
4+ years in DevRel or Developer Advocacy with measurable results - you can name the campaigns and quote the outcomes.
You've shipped code. Comfortable with API integrations, SDKs, and modern web tooling. You can read a diff, write a working example, and spot when docs are wrong.
Exceptional communicator across formats - conference talk, changelog entry, Reddit reply - all in the same day.
Operationally sharp. You've managed community platforms, run event logistics, and kept multiple workstreams moving without things falling through the cracks.
Growth-minded. You connect every initiative to business impact and you've built or meaningfully improved a developer activation funnel.
Collaborative by default. You thrive at the intersection of product, engineering, and marketing - and you're comfortable pushing back when developer needs aren't being met.
Additional Information
Perplexity's APIs power the AI behind every Samsung on-device experience - across one billion devices - and are trusted by a growing roster of Fortune 500s. We went from a single Sonar API to a full platform: Search API, Agent API, Embeddings, and more. That growth didn't happen by accident, and it isn't slowing down.
We're looking for the person who will own the next chapter: making Perplexity's API platform the default choice for developers building the next generation of AI-native products.
