Developer Advocate, AI Infrastructure (SF)

Lavendo•San Francisco, CA

1d•$150,000 - $250,000•Onsite

About The Position

Lavendo partners with startups and high‑growth companies to help them hire top‑tier sales, GTM, and technical talent. This role is with one of our clients; we’ll share full details about the company and interview process as we get to know you and confirm mutual fit. Our client is one of the most active open-source communities in the AI agent space, with 35 million monthly downloads and 300,000+ users on its commercial platform. Anything you build or ship here reaches real users immediately. The team is flat, fast-moving, and full of people who operate like mini-founders, with minimal red tape between an idea and shipping it. The company has sharpened its focus from a broad agent-building platform to something more specific: solving document processing for AI applications. As that focus tightens, they need a technical, authentic voice to represent the brand — especially in San Francisco, where the AI community lives on Twitter/X and shows up at every event that matters.

Requirements

A real, active presence on X/Twitter — original content, real engagement, no ghost accounts
Either a developer advocate/evangelist background at a comparable AI infrastructure startup, or a degree from a top technical program (Stanford, Berkeley, MIT)
Direct experience engaging with developers — not just marketers or technical stakeholders
Comfort with basic coding: installing packages, running commands, building small demos (no production code required)
Natural extroversion — you genuinely like being at events, on camera, and in the mix; this can't be faked
Startup background is important; candidates with only large-company experience tend to be a harder fit here.

Nice To Haves

The strongest candidates tend to fall into one of two lanes: a naturally social, technically curious grad from a top program who'd rather build fun demos than grind on deep engineering, or an established developer advocate from a peer-tier AI infrastructure startup.
What matters most is a track record (or clear potential) of genuine community engagement — organizing meetups, speaking at events, posting original content people actually respond to.

Responsibilities

Build and grow an authentic voice for the company on X/Twitter — real engagement over follower count
Show up at (and help organize) the developer meetups, hackathons, and talks that matter in the SF AI scene
Get hands-on with the product: build simple demos and workflows using basic coding skills (Python, vibe-coding comfort)
Represent the company on stage and on camera at technical events
Build genuine relationships with developers, founders, and other advocates in the community
