Job description

Nimble is the company leading the AI web search category. Our products are used by leading businesses in financial services, retail, market intelligence, and coding to build best-in-class AI agents with accurate, auditable programmatic access to the web.

We've raised over $70 million from Norwest, Databricks Ventures, Target Global, Square Peg, and others to build expert-level web search for AI. Hundreds of enterprise customers already run on Nimble, and we're forming a world-class team of engineers, researchers, designers, marketers, sellers, and operational experts to achieve our mission.

Why join Nimble?

• Work on a deeply technical platform powering real-time AI and enterprise decisions
• Help define the future of Web Search Agents and live web intelligence
• Build alongside a sharp, mission-driven team that moves fast, ships often, and takes ownership

About the Role:

We're looking for Nimble's first Principal Developer Advocate to build and lead our Developer Relations function.

Your mission is to help AI developers discover, adopt, and successfully build with Nimble.

You'll own the developer motion end-to-end—from creating technical content and demo applications, to engaging developer communities, launching integrations, speaking at conferences, and helping establish Nimble as a trusted name within the AI ecosystem.

This is a highly visible role at the intersection of engineering, product, marketing, and community.

What You'll be Doing:

What you can expect during your day-to-day

Most of your time:

• Strategize on new initiatives, campaigns, and messaging. You'll be leading the Developer Advocacy function at Nimble.
• Building apps (and integrations with other platforms) to solve interesting use cases using Nimble's AI Search tool and Web Search Agents, and sharing them with the developer community on platforms like X, Discord, Github, and others
• Creating high-quality content, from thought leadership to hands-on tutorials and examples

Regularly:

• Attending developer-centric events and confidently speaking in front of large technical audiences
• Providing feedback on Nimble's product, documentation, and storytelling

As needed:

• Working with tech influencers and thought leaders to evangelize Nimble's story

How we'll measure your success at Nimble together

• 30 days: You've shipped your first demo app using Nimble's tools, published your first piece of content, and can articulate our developer journey end-to-end.
• 60 days: Content is driving measurable traffic to docs and signup. You've identified the top 3 friction points in our developer onboarding and proposed fixes for them.
• 90 days: You own a repeatable content and community engine with clear attribution to developer signups. Time-to-first-API-call is trending down for developers coming through your channels.

What You Should Have for the Role:

• Strong, well-reasoned opinions on how AI should be deployed in a productive, reliable, and responsible way
• 5+ years of experience in developer relations, software engineering, or sales engineering
• Deep understanding of developer psychology, community dynamics, and what makes technical products beloved by builders
• Hands-on experience building AI agents using modern AI tooling and ecosystems such as LangChain, Cursor, v0, BaseTen, and similar platforms
• Proven experience creating content for developers across blogs, videos, podcasts, social posts, and other channels
• Someone who can build their brand, and Nimble's, independently and collaborate with other DevlRel orgs

At Nimble you'll join a team of brilliant minds striving to solve the hard problems affecting data gathering. Although we work hard, we also play hard, and together create a vibrant community with frequent company retreats, human-first conditions, and an energetic atmosphere.
