Developer Advocate

Guild.ai•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

This isn’t a “talk about the product” role. This is a build-with-us role. As Guild.ai’s first Developer Advocate, you’ll be a founding voice of the company. You’ll work directly with the founders to shape not just what we ship, but how we show up for the developer community—and how that community shapes the product in return. If you’re a builder who loves teaching, a community leader who still writes code, and someone who wants real ownership in defining a platform from day one, this role is for you. You’ll build the bridge between Guild.ai and the people using it—software engineers, builders, collaborators, and AI-curious creators. You’ll be trusted to empathize deeply with users, advocate on their behalf, and help ensure Guild.ai is genuinely useful—not just impressive. We’re a team of founders, SREs, open-source contributors, and engineering leaders who believe AI should expand human creativity—not replace it. We’re building tools that give engineers leverage, clarity, and room to do their best work. If you’re excited by the idea of shaping a developer community from the ground up—and helping define what software engineering looks like in an AI-native future—we’d love to build Guild.ai with you.
