Lead Developer Evangelist - Rime Ai

Unusual Ventures • San Francisco, CA

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, all of it 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 what you make.
• 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

• Former founder or early engineer at an AI or dev tools startup, who shipped product, talked to users, and built an audience.
• Technical PMM tired of the deck-and-launch cycle.
• Creator who happens to be technical, with a real following on YouTube, X, TikTok, or a Substack.
• Product person who realized their best work was the demo videos, threads, tutorials, and wants to do that full-time.
• Experience in traditional DevRel is not required, and a desire to move beyond traditional playbooks is preferred.

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 engineers want to read, on Rime's blog and potentially personal platforms.
• Show up at 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 product.
• Build things with Rime in public, including reference apps, open-source tools, and demos that get shared.
