Lead Developer Evangelist - Rime Ai

Unusual Ventures • San Francisco, CA

11d

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, specifically 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 your content.
• Strong technical fluency: ability to build with our 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 in a traditional DevRel role, or a desire to move beyond traditional DevRel playbooks.
• Experience as a former 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 creator with a technical background and a following on platforms like YouTube, X, TikTok, or a developer-focused Substack.
• Experience as a product person who excelled at creating demo videos, threads, and tutorials.
• Experience managing a team or community (though this is not for those whose primary focus is management before audience building).

Responsibilities

• Propose the cadence for content creation.
• Create original video content (tutorials, demos, takes, builds) on platforms where voice AI developers spend time.
• Write content for the company blog and personal platforms that engineers want to read.
• 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 demos.
