About The Position

Parasail is redefining AI infrastructure by enabling seamless deployment across a distributed network of GPUs, optimizing for cost, performance, and flexibility. Our mission is to empower AI developers with a fast, cost-efficient, and scalable cloud experience—free from vendor lock-in and designed for the next generation of AI workloads.

The Developer Evangelist and Community Advocate will be Parasail’s public technical voice and community catalyst, meeting developers where they are, online and in person. From answering deep-dive questions about model inference on r/LocalLLaMA to demoing live at AI model meetups, you’ll translate complex GPU-hosting concepts into clear, actionable guidance. Your feedback loop with engineering will ensure our platform evolves with real-world needs, while your outreach will grow a vibrant ecosystem around Parasail.

Requirements

• Excellent written and verbal communication
• 3–7 years in developer advocacy, solutions engineering, or a similarly outward-facing technical role.
• Hands-on experience with GPU/ML inference workflows (Kubernetes or similar a plus).
• Proven online presence: you’ve participated responsively and respectfully on Reddit, Hacker News, Twitter/X, or Discord for a technical brand or OSS project.
• Comfortable speaking on stage, writing long-form posts, and distilling advanced topics for audiences ranging from CTOs to hobbyists.
• Active in multiple online AI communities
• Self-starter who can juggle multiple channels, prioritize community questions, and thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.

• Connections in the open-source AI / MLOps ecosystem.

Responsibilities

• Actively monitor targeted subreddits, Hacker News threads, Discord servers, and other channels; jump in with helpful, technically sound answers (and tactful Parasail mentions where appropriate).
• Draft tutorials, sample repos, blog posts, and short videos that demystify model deployment, cost tuning, and distributed inference on GPUs.
• Moderate, answer questions, and spark discussions; run AMAs and office hours with our engineers.
• Represent Parasail at meetups, hackathons, and conferences; give talks, staff booths, and gather use-case intel.
• Form relationships with maintainers of leading OSS AI projects and influential community moderators; explore co-marketing or integration opportunities.
• Synthesize community feedback and surface common pain points, shaping our product roadmap and documentation.
• Track engagement metrics (Discord activity, GitHub stars, referral traffic, etc.) to iterate and expand our reach.

Benefits

• Chance to shape the conversation around next-gen AI infrastructure
• Own Parasail’s community strategy from day one
• Collaborate directly with our CEO and engineering leads
• Influence the product through real-time user insights
• Build a worldwide network of developers
