Lead Developer Evangelist

Rime Labs • San Francisco Bay Area, CA

18h • Hybrid

About The Position

This is not a traditional Developer Relations job. We're looking for a builder with a voice, a camera, and strong opinions about voice AI, who wants to be the developer-facing face of Rime. You'll own how developers discover, evaluate, and fall in love with Rime. That means making things developers want to watch, read, share, and try, then showing up where developers are (online and in person) to actually have the conversations. You'll work directly with the Head of Marketing and partner closely with our CEO, product, and engineering teams. You'll have unusual creative latitude. If developers and product owners in our ICP can evaluate TTS without running into your work, we have not won.

Requirements

• 4+ years working in or adjacent to AI, voice, or developer tools, preferably at early or growth-stage startups.
• A public body of work: a YouTube channel, a meaningful following on X or LinkedIn, a Substack, a GitHub, or some combination, where developers are the audience.
• Demonstrated ability to consistently get technical people to watch, read, and engage with content.
• Strong technical fluency: ability to build with the API, debug a webhook, and explain how a voice agent stack fits together.
• Comfort on camera and on stage.
• Sharp written voice.
• Founder energy: ability to operate without a playbook, prioritize ruthlessly, and ship.

Nice To Haves

• Previous experience as a founder or early engineer at an AI or dev tools startup.
• Experience as a technical PMM tired of the deck-and-launch cycle.
• Experience as a technical creator with a real following on YouTube, X, TikTok, or a Substack.
• Experience as a product person who enjoys creating demo videos, threads, and tutorials.
• Experience in traditional DevRel at a large company is not preferred.
• Desire to manage a team or community before building an audience is not preferred.
• Lack of a public portfolio of video, writing, or social content is not preferred.
• Desire for a content calendar to be handed to them is not preferred.

Responsibilities

• Propose the cadence for developer engagement.
• Create original video content (tutorials, demos, takes, builds) on platforms where voice AI developers spend time.
• Write content that engineers want to read, on the company blog and personal platforms.
• Attend events (hackathons, meetups, conferences) and create content from them.
• Engage in real conversations with developers using Rime and potential users, and surface learnings back to the product team.
• Build things with Rime in public, including reference apps, open-source tools, and shareable demos.
