Job description

— Reddit, Discord, Developer Communities & Talent Networks

Some of the best engineers we'll ever hire aren't on job boards — they're answering questions in a subreddit or shipping side projects in a Discord server. This role finds them.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain a genuine presence across Reddit, Discord, and developer-community spaces relevant to ad-tech, AI, and gaming.
• Identify, engage, and nurture relationships with high-potential talent long before they're job-hunting.
• Represent Blowtrumpet as a credible, technically fluent voice — not a recruiter cold-DMing strangers.
• Feed structured talent-network insights back into hiring and community strategy.

What You Bring

• Real, demonstrable history inside these communities — this isn't a role you can fake with a LinkedIn seat.
• Strong writing and conversational instincts; you know the difference between contributing and spamming.
• Enough technical literacy to hold a credible conversation with engineers and builders.
• Patience — great channel relationships are built over months, not DMs.

Bonus Points: An existing reputation (karma, server role, community standing) in relevant spaces.

For all positions: we're looking for people who learn quickly, adapt to new and emerging technologies, and want to help build the future of advertising technology. This is an office-based role in South Delhi — we value genuine enthusiasm for working from office, tinkering with LLMs, AI, programmatic, ad insertion, and even gaming, inside a startup-style, operationally flexible environment. Hard work and a real focus on building a long-term career in ad-tech software development matter more to us than a polished résumé.

Disclaimer: due to the large volume of applications received, we are only able to respond to successful candidates.

On the Early-Career Program

Programmatic ad-tech is an exceptionally niche industry, and very few schools or workplaces truly expose people to its technical, operational, or business realities — especially combined with emerging interactive and immersive advertising experiences. Because of this, we understand that strong candidates may come from lateral career shifts or seemingly unrelated backgrounds. While we review every application for relevant experience and education, résumés alone rarely reveal curiosity, systems thinking, adaptability, or genuine interest in the industry.

Established players in this space rarely let experienced talent circulate freely, and we recognize the challenge of building in such a rare ecosystem while bootstrapping. We encourage applicants to research the industry before applying, avoid applying blindly, and tell us why this space excites you — especially if you're willing to pursue an early-career journey of learning, exploration, and growth while transitioning from another field.

Application Requirements

• A completed application form, including your resume.
• Essay 1 — Statement of Purpose: why Blowtrumpet is for you, why you want to be part of ad-tech, and how ad-tech differs from other industries (e.g. ed-tech) in ways that interest you.
• Essay 2 — Your Workflow in the Emerging Technologies Age: your view on AI and where it's heading, how you're incorporating AI into your workflow today, and real examples of difficulties you've faced and how you resolved them.
• Essay 3 — Gamification: what gamification means to you, a real-life example, what the gamification loop looks like, and how you'd apply it to create an engaging experience for friends, family, or coworkers.

You may use AI tools to help write these essays. If you do, disclose which tools you used, your prompts and guidance, and confirm your agreement with the output. If you choose not to use AI, tell us that too.

Optional Guiding Questions

You're welcome to draw on any of the following while writing your three essays — they're prompts, not a separate form to fill out line by line.

• 1. Provide us with your present PIN Code. We won't be processing applications without a valid PIN Code and address location. You're encouraged to join our Discord server, "Hire For Work" (linked in the website footer) — introduce yourself and interact there; it goes a long way for our assessment and lets us connect with you in real time. Also define, in your own words, the difference between ed-tech and ad-tech.
