Job description

About Sapiom

Sapiom is the end-to-end platform that removes barriers to ship and scale agentic products.

We unify everything an agent needs to act in the world: compute and sandboxes, memory, identity, domains and DNS, spend controls, browser automation, web search and deep research, databases, storage, queues, messaging, image generation, voice, enrichment, verification, and monitoring provisioned together as one thing, not handed over as a framework for builders to assemble themselves. Pricing is just as simple: a plan, a generous free tier, pay for what you use when you use it.

We have assembled a world-class team with deep infrastructure and payments DNA to build the operating system for machines. Backed by a $15.75M investment from Accel, Menlo, and Anthropic, we are moving with relentless focus to allow builders to ship and scale agentic products.

About the Role

As our Developer Relations, you’ll sit at the intersection of community, product, and engineering — equal parts builder, communicator, and champion for the developers who use Sapiom. You’ll cultivate authentic relationships across AI/ML and developer communities, producing content that helps developers understand agentic commerce and how to build with our platform, while serving as the internal voice of the developer — surfacing friction points, refining APIs, and being the loudest internal advocate for fixing what’s broken. You’ll design and build compelling demo agents and sandbox environments that go beyond marketing assets, and own the full developer journey from first discovery through production deployment — crafting onboarding flows, building enablement resources, and turning partner wins into case studies that inspire the next wave of builders.

What you will do

You’ll build Sapiom’s presence among AI agent builders and LLM developers — serving as the connective tissue between developers and our product team. The goal: a thriving cohort of developers who don’t just leverage Sapiom, but build remarkable things with it publicly.

Responsibilities

• Ship products, tools, and content that developers actually adopt, drawing on firsthand experience as an engineer, DevRel, or technical founder to deeply understand and empathize with the developer experience.

• Engage authentically with the builder community — whether debugging edge cases on Discord, hosting hackathons, or supporting developers wherever they need it most.

• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly and simply across writing, stage presentations, and 1:1 conversations, producing documentation people read and content people share.

• Stay at the forefront of AI and LLM development, actively experimenting with agentic applications and maintaining a deep understanding of why financial infrastructure for agents is a meaningful problem to solve.

• Define and execute this function with autonomy — as an early hire, you’ll shape what Developer Advocacy looks like at Sapiom as much as you’ll deliver it.

• Maintain a public builder presence through GitHub, a technical blog, conference talks, open-source contributions, or social media, bringing an existing community or the credibility to build one fast.

• Synthesize developer feedback from across channels into clear, actionable product requirements that drive meaningful improvements to the Sapiom platform.

Requirements

• Proven experience with software products, tools, or developer-facing content, with a strong understanding of APIs, SDKs, and technical documentation best practices.

• Hands-on experience with LLMs and agentic applications, with the ability to build production-quality demo agents and sandbox environments.

• Comfortable across the developer toolchain — GitHub, SDKs, developer portals, and community platforms like Discord.

• Exceptional communicator — able to distill complex concepts into clear, engaging content across writing, presentations, and 1:1 conversations.

• Self-directed and comfortable with ambiguity, thriving in early-stage environments where you define the function as much as execute it.

• Genuine passion for developer communities with a public builder presence — open-source contributions, a technical blog, conference talks, or social media.

• Strong synthesizer — able to take disparate developer feedback and translate it into clear, actionable insights for product and engineering teams.
