Job description

TypeSafe is a frontier model lab. We build reliable and general AI systems to power economically valuable automation. Our mission is to usher in a new era of Transformative Artificial Intelligence (TAI): technology with the power to drive a societal shift on the scale of the agricultural and industrial revolutions.

While others chase benchmarks and academic puzzles, we’ve been quietly rethinking the LLM stack from first principles — building a new kind of general frontier model designed for real-world reliability, decision-making, and autonomy in production.

We’re a small, fast-moving team from OpenAI, Google Brain, and Meta/FAIR, backed by top-tier investors. Since mid-2024, we’ve been engineering the foundation for what comes after the current “state-of-the-art” — a model that actually gets things done.

About the Role

Responsibilities

• Help define TypeSafe’s voice with the developer community and grow our visibility, trust, and adoption

• Represent TypeSafe and the gospel of composable AI through talks, demos, community participation, and partnerships

• Own the developer experience across docs, quickstarts, and SDK/API references

• Build feedback loops with the developer community; synthesize insights and advocate for developer needs

• Design and run developer programs (e.g., early access, betas, red-teaming, bug bounties)

• Collaborate with product, engineering, operations, and leadership to

  • Create the demos, tutorials, cookbooks, docs, and collateral that help developers evaluate and adopt TypeSafe

  • Plan and execute developer marketing moments: webinars, meetups, hackathons, conference talks, and workshops

We are looking for people who

• Have fluent understanding of LLMs, AI market, and developer needs in LLM performance, as well as major developer ecosystems and APIs

• Have deep developer empathy; are excellent at listening and synthesizing from feedback, and have experience running usability tests

• Care deeply about our mission and are driven to translate it into real-world impact

• Are skillful communicators, both in speech and written forms

• Have >3 yrs experience as a SWE or developer advocate

• Existing reputation and standing among developers a huge plus
