About The Position

Wafer is building AI systems that automatically optimize inference workloads across silicon. The company serves trillions of tokens per month for mission-critical workloads at fast-growing AI startups. Developers access Wafer through its API and through routers such as OpenRouter and Vercel AI Gateway.

The Developer Advocate is an engineering and developer-marketing role focused on making Wafer an obvious choice for developers who need fast inference. The role creates practical demonstrations using real code and performance data, owns developer-facing content and experience, participates in developer communities, and brings feedback to product and engineering. The position is on-site in San Francisco five days per week, with substantial autonomy and ownership. Success is measured by how many developers try Wafer and how many continue using it.
