Product Marketing Manager/Developer Platform API

Brave

4d • $150 - $200 • Remote

About The Position

Brave is building the independent search infrastructure for the AI era.
While others wrap Bing or Google APIs, we own our own global web index. This allows us to offer what Big Tech cannot: Zero-Data-Retention (ZDR) guarantees, unbiased ranking, and total sovereignty.
Our Search API is currently powering the next generation of LLMs, RAG pipelines, and agentic frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.). We are looking for a hybrid Product Marketer and Developer Advocate to own the GTM strategy for this platform.
You will bridge the gap between our engineering team and the developer market. You will not just market the product; you will demonstrate how to build with it.
The Role: Where PMM Meets DevRel
This is not a traditional marketing role. We don't need fluffy adjectives; we need technical truth. You will sit at the intersection of Product Strategy and Developer Relations.

1. Define the Category & Narrative (The PMM Side)● Positioning: Define why an "Independent Index" matters for enterprise AI. Differentiate Brave from "wrapper" APIs and Big Tech incumbents based on quality, freshness, and privacy.
● Launch & GTM: Own the go-to-market motion for new endpoints, data types (News, Images, Videos), and features. Coordinate across Eng, Product, and Sales.
● Sales Enablement: Arm our sales team with high-leverage assets—technical battlecards, ROI frameworks for switching from Bing/Google, and sovereignty case studies for enterprise clients.
2. Win the Developer (The DevRel Side)
● "Show, Don't Tell": Produce technical content that proves value. Build "Hello World" to "Production" tutorials, interactive notebooks (Colab/Jupyter), and reference architectures for RAG pipelines.
● Ecosystem Presence: Represent Brave in the AI engineer community. Ensure we have first-class integrations with frameworks like LangChain, AutoGPT, and Vercel AI SDK.
● Docs as Marketing: Treat documentation as our most important landing page. optimize the "Time to First API Call" metric.

Requirements

• Native Fluency in AI/Search: You know what RAG is. You understand the difference between lexical and semantic search. You know why context windows matter.
• Developer Empathy: You’ve wrestled with bad APIs, poor documentation, and rate limits.
• Proven Writing: You can write clear, concise copy for a landing page and technical copy for a whitepaper.
• Technical Chops: You are comfortable reading/writing Python or JavaScript. You can fire up a terminal to test a cURL request.

Nice To Haves

• Experience at "Developer Cult" companies (e.g., Vercel, Supabase, Stripe, HashiCorp, LangChain).
• Experience marketing data products or search infrastructure.
• An existing presence in the AI/LLM builder community.

• Docs as Marketing: Treat documentation as our most important landing page. optimize the "Time to First API Call" metric.
• Write & Code: Draft a blog post about our new ranking algorithm in the morning, and fix a Python code snippet in our docs in the afternoon.
• Software Distribution: Experience or familiarity with publishing packages to registries (NPM, PyPI), repositories (GitHub), or app stores.
• Market Intelligence: Analyze how competitors (Perplexity, Exa, Bing) package their APIs and identify the "wedge" where Brave wins.
• Community Engineering: Engage with developers on X, Reddit, and Discord. When a developer asks "What search API should I use for my agent?", you (and the community you build) are there with the answer.
• Feedback Loops: Act as "Customer Zero." Test our APIs before they ship and channel harsh, honest developer feedback back to the product team.

Benefits

• Real Tech, No Slideware: We aren't selling a wrapper. We have our own crawlers, index, and serving stack.
• David vs. Goliath: We are the only viable alternative to the Big Tech search monopoly. The market needs us to win.
• High Impact: You will be the primary voice for a product used by millions of users and thousands of developers.
• Privacy First: We prove that you don't need to harvest user data to build a world-class business.
