Head of Developer Relations

Moondream; San Francisco (CA); Híbrido; USD 145.000 - 185.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Moondream in San Francisco is seeking a hands-on Developer Relations lead who will bridge the gap between an incredible model and shipped applications. You will write the first tutorials, build the first demo app, answer questions in Discord, and help shape what comes next based on real-world use.

You should be able to ship production code with ML models, explain under-the-hood details, and craft technical content that gains traction.

Formación

• Shipped code that uses ML models and can explain what's happening under the hood without buzzwords.
• Built a demo and presented it publicly.
• Written technical content that gained traction because it was genuinely useful.
• Has strong opinions about what makes a developer experience good.
• Grew a developer community before, not just moderated one.

Responsabilidades

• Build demos, tutorials, and sample apps that showcase the SDK in action.
• Identify and report confusing SDK usage or doc gaps, and help fix them.
• Engage with developers online and in person to explain what we're building and why it matters.
• Evaluate how the function should evolve and help grow the team accordingly.

Descripción del empleo

Moondream builds vision models fast enough to process every frame of video in realtime. Developers use them for everything from video search to document understanding to robotics. Thousands of them already use Moondream. Most of them figured it out on their own, which is either a testament to the product or an indictment of our docs. Probably both.

We need someone who can close the gap between “this model is incredible” and “I shipped something with it last Tuesday.” You'll be the first person doing this full-time. There is no team to inherit, no playbook to follow, no content calendar waiting for you. You'll write the first tutorial, build the first demo app, answer the first batch of questions in Discord, and then figure out what to do next based on what actually worked.

You should probably apply if:

• You've shipped code that uses ML models and can explain what's happening under the hood without reaching for buzzwords
• You can build a demo in the morning and give a talk about it that afternoon. You've done something like this before and it went well.
• You've written technical content that got traction because it was genuinely useful, not because it was promoted
• You have strong opinions about what makes a developer experience good, and you will not be polite about bad APIs
• You've grown a developer community before, not just moderated one

You should definitely not apply if:

• You think dev rel is a branch of marketing that occasionally involves GitHub
• You haven't written code that runs in production in the last year
• Remote work is non-negotiable (we're in-person in San Francisco because dev rel works better when you're embedded with the team, not relaying messages)

What you'll actually do

• Build things. A demo that processes a live video feed, a tutorial that gets someone from zero to working prototype in ten minutes, a sample app that makes people say “wait, I can do that?”
• Tell the engineering team when the SDK is confusing, the error messages are bad, or the docs are wrong. Then probably fix the docs yourself.
• Show up where developers are, online and in person, and make them care about what we're building
• Figure out what this function should become and eventually hire people to help

Details

• Compensation: $145k–$185k + meaningful equity
