About the role
We're looking for a founding Developer Relations Engineer to help make Linkup the most exciting AI company for developers.

- Collaborate with product, GTM, and solutions teams to turn developer success stories into public examples and resources.
- Collect and synthesize developer feedback to inform product and developer experience priorities.

- Love shipping fast , creative, and beautifully polished projects.

- What would be big plus to have:
- Hands-on experience with APIs, LLMs, and DevTools.
- A track record of organizing meetups, workshops, or hackathons with measurable engagement or outcomes.

- About Linkup
- Our Vision
- We believe in a future of AI agents and the agentic web . These digital entities can create more value for humanity than we ever could alone, but they depend on the internet to operate, collaborate, take action, and gather information.
- AI agents need web search . To perform well, they require information that is current, reliable, and context‑specific-not the diffuse, steadily aging knowledge frozen at their last training cut‑off.
- Web 2.0 is sunsetting . The deck is being reshuffled, and the Bing‑Google search oligopoly is crumbling. Indexing ever more pages is no longer the goal; semantically organizing facts for AI systems is. In the coming agentic web, Google's ad‑driven model has no natural home.
- Humans search Google; AI searches Linkup.
- Our Mission
- Reality never stands still, and neither should intelligence. Linkup reconnects language models to a living stream of verified facts, ensuring AIs remain as current and insightful as the world they serve.
- Our mission is to deliver the world's freshest, most trusted knowledge to AIs.
- Our Culture
- Our culture is built on the following values:
- Mission . We believe we play a critical role in building the agentic web. We are 100% committed to our mission of bringing th
