Job description

About the Role

As our Developer Marketing Lead, you will own how the developer world discovers, understands, and adopts You.com's web search APIs. You will sit at the intersection of product, DevRel, and marketing, turning our technical differentiation into developer awareness and inbound pipeline.

You will report directly to the CPO and work closely with our DevRel, product, partnerships and marketing teams. You own the developer narrative and the content engine that drives it.

This role is for someone who has shipped technical content that moved the needle, understands how developers evaluate and adopt APIs, and can build a presence in the AI developer community from a position of genuine technical credibility.

Responsibilities

• Own developer awareness across the full funnel: from first exposure on X or HN to first API call to production deployment
• Produce technical content that earns trust: benchmark analyses, integration tutorials, launch posts, and comparison guides written for an engineering audience
• Build and maintain a presence in the AI developer community on X, LinkedIn, and GitHub, engaging authentically and driving visibility to You.com's technical differentiation
• Execute co‑marketing deliverables with customers and partners: joint blog posts, demos, co‑branded tutorials, and social amplification
• Translate product launches into developer narratives with clear proof points and concrete use cases
• Work with our DevRel team to develop demo repos, example workflows, and integration guides that reduce time‑to‑first‑call
• Instrument the developer funnel and use data to identify where awareness or activation breaks down
• Represent You.com at AI developer conferences, workshops, and community events

Qualifications

• Personally shipped technical artifacts (benchmark post, tutorial, integration guide, OSS project) that generated measurable inbound or community engagement
• Deep understanding of the developer evaluation loop for APIs: how developers discover, trial, and commit to infrastructure
• Active presence on X and LinkedIn with a technical audience
• Experience working alongside or within a partnerships motion, producing content and assets that support partner relationships
• Strong writing skills for technical audiences; can explain tradeoffs clearly without over‑simplifying
• Data‑driven approach to content prioritization: knows which outputs to double down on and which to cut
• Background as a developer, technical PM, or DevRel engineer; has built with APIs and understands what friction actually feels like
• Experience in AI infrastructure, developer tools, or API‑first companies strongly preferred
• 20K+ followers across developer or AI‑focused platforms is a plus

Salary Band

$170,000 - $210,000 USD

Company Perks

• Hubs in San Francisco and New York City offering regular in‑person gatherings and co‑working sessions
• Flexible PTO with U.S. holidays observed and a week shutdown in December to rest and recharge
• A competitive health insurance plan covers 100% of the policyholder and 75% for dependents
• 12 weeks of paid parental leave in the U.S.
• 401(k) program, 3% match – vested immediately
• $500 work‑from‑home stipend to be used up to a year of your start date
• $600 technology stipend to support a portion of our hybrid/remote team's cell phone and internet expenses
• $1,200 per year Health & Wellness Allowance to support your personal goals
• The chance to collaborate with a team at the forefront of AI research
