About The Position

As a DevRel Engineer at Kernel, you’ll be part builder, part solutions engineer, and fully embedded in the developer community.

We are an infrastructure company and developers are our core users. As a DevRel Engineer, you'll be the public voice of Kernel for developers: creating content, engaging with the community, and bringing insights back to our product and engineering teams. You'll help define how builders learn about browser infrastructure, adopt Kernel, and push the frontier of what AI agents can do on the live Web.
