Job description

We're hiring our first dedicated Developer Relations Lead to grow our thriving developer community of over 700,000 users across the world. This role will become the voice and advocate for our developer community: you'll be at the forefront, engaging directly with a wide variety of users daily, ranging from AI hobbyists to senior engineers at global enterprises.

This role is primarily external-facing, deeply embedded within our developer communities in places like Discord, YouTube, and other social media. You’ll become an expert builder, understanding how real people and businesses are deploying AI agents. Internally, you'll serve as a key liaison between our community and our roadmap, translating user pain points into actionable feedback for our Product team.

As our founding Developer Relations Lead, you'll build this critical function from scratch, setting the strategy, establishing best practices, and shaping the long-term vision for community engagement at Botpress. This means you'll need both hands-on experience in developer relations and the entrepreneurial drive to create something exceptional. We’re looking for someone who thrives on autonomy, excels in unstructured environments, and has the proven ability to define, execute, and scale high-impact initiatives.

Responsibilities

• Own community engagement, becoming the daily point of contact for our users across Discord, LinkedIn, Reddit, webinars, and virtual hackathons.
• Evangelize Botpress across the web, making our product the go-to reference point for building and deploying AI agents.
• Deeply understand developer needs, pain points, and successes; translate these insights clearly back into product strategy.
• Create and share compelling technical demos, hands-on tutorials, and sample applications using Botpress.
• Organize and lead virtual and in-person meetups, hackathons, and webinars to drive community growth and product adoption.
• Work alongside Marketing to amplify user success stories and align messaging that resonates with developers.
• Actively influence our product direction by participating in strategic feedback loops.

Success in this role looks like:

• Increased developer retention and active engagement within the Botpress community.
• Strong, tangible improvements in developer satisfaction and platform adoption.
• Continuous flow of valuable, actionable feedback influencing product improvements.

• Coding ability (JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js). You can debug, troubleshoot, and demo with confidence.
• The ability to move comfortably between developing AI agents in the Botpress GUI and alongside our API.
• Proven hands-on experience in community management, developer advocacy, or developer relations.
• Natural communicator and relationship builder; genuinely excited by helping developers succeed.
• Comfortable and enthusiastic about public speaking, virtual events, and being the public face of Botpress's developer community.
• Practical understanding of Git workflows and modern web application development.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• High-Impact Role:You’ll be the bridge between our product data and our go-to-market efforts, directly influencing revenue and customer growth.
• Cutting-Edge Environment:Work with modern data stacks (Segment, BigQuery, Clay) and emerging AI GTM strategies.
• Collaborative Culture:Join a team that values open communication, continuous learning, and shared success.
• Growth Opportunities:As we scale rapidly, you’ll have the opportunity to define processes, make strategic decisions, and mentor new team members.
• Mission-Driven Company:Help shape the future of AI-powered workflows, assisting organizations across industries in harnessing the power of multi-agent systems.
• Ownership, Organization & Creativity:We place a premium on individuals who can take initiative, work autonomously, and creatively solve complex problems with an eye on key outcomes.
